long time no blog

Sorry for the long delay in blogging. And now that I am, I realize that I don't have all the pictures that I wanted...lame. So these will have to suffice. They are a couple of weeks old but she looks pretty much the same. I will be sure to post some more recent ones soon.


This is just us hanging out in the evening. She really likes to play and talk on my lap.

We LOVE going on runs together. It hasn't really been ideal baby running weather, so that's why I have to bundle her so much. She doesn't seem to mind, though. She is so great and sleeps through a whole run (despite me running through potholes, etc) and when we get home she is always ready to eat.

This is a typical picture of Astrid sleeping. The best is when she wakes up, though, because she does these really adult-like stretches. She arches her little back and neck, stretches out her arms and legs and makes stretching noises. I love it.

This is the first picture of her sitting up (against a wall). She did pretty well--long enough for me to take a couple of pictures.

In terms of new news, I recently got a sewing machine and I have been going bananas making stuff for Astrid, from blankets to diaper covers. I love this new little hobby, although I am very, very new to it and not very good yet. I will post some pictures of some things I've made soon.
What else...we are ready for some spring weather! Last night it snowed although last week the weather forcast speculated that we would not be getting anymore snow in the valley. I'm ready to break out the skirts and sandals (yeah, Susan!) and let my baby lounge in a onesie instead of layers of clothes!

Oh Jasmine, I've missed you. She is so adorable. There is nothing better than baby stretches.

Finally, an update!
She is so serious. Oliver was, and can still be, very serious, almost stern. Now he wont stop smiling.
Yes, summer is coming! I want so desperately to have a baby I can put sun dresses on. Do you think Oliver will care? Good luck with the sewing. Astrid will look so cute.

Cute Pics! Glad to hear you are running again. I assume you are training for a race? I attempted sewing. Obviously you are better at it than I was :D.

Jasmine, I love her. And how nice she'll sleep through your runs...Laine always started SCREAMING after about a mile. I think I'm going to pee my pants in April when I get to meet FIVE babies (and two halves) all at once.
