Elsa Louise at 38 Weeks

Notable this week:

* 3/17 Started to wave - I think. A baby wave is very similar to the sign for "milk" which we use as the sign for "nurse". Either way, it's something new...

* Has an easier time rolling front to back and back to front now and does it without any encouragement.

* Loves to blow raspberries. See?

* 3/22 3rd tooth! (top middle)

* separation anxiety at it's peak. I cannot walk away from her for a second without her crying like crazy. I naively thought it would be hard to tell when this stage hit since she's very very attached to me, but I was wrong. Sure, she doesn't like to go to other people besides Daddy but if I'm not in her sight. Her world crumbles. She even cries when I have her on the changing table and I need to bend down to put a diaper in the wash bag. I'm out of her line of sight for five seconds and the tears start.


We're back to taking photos in the grass - I don't think it was this green ever when I started taking these weekly photos. Now it's so green that they will need to start mowing soon. The docks were already put in on the lakes - in March! The ice went out over night on the 16/17th so Spring has definitely sprung in BearCountry.

I think Elsa is excited about that!


Diaper Details: Elsa is wearing a TotsBots Bamboozle size two fitted cloth diaper. I received one of these diapers as a free gift when I purchased my stash for Julia five years ago. They are pricey but are such fabulous diapers that I started watching Craigslist for used ones so I could have more for Elsa. I was able to score another recently for only $7! They are super soft and incredibly absorbent. It's because of how well this diaper works that I began watching for other bamboo diapers.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
