Just crazy crazy crazy! In a good way! Today I was able to get about an hour to myself for a pedicure and everyone survived! YAY!!!!!
Tomorrow the baby and I are off to my sister’s for a fantastic flip-flop themed five year old’s birthday party and we’re going to stay for a couple of days.
Meli is doing so well I can hardly stand it! She’s talking all the time, well, babbling, but the two of us have very deep conversations by making gurgling sounds. We stare into each other’s eyes and discuss everything under the sun. Have I mentioned my daughter is a genius? And she holds her head up so, so well. She’s kicking and squirming and on Wednesday she’ll be three months old. Can you believe it?!? I can’t wait to see how much she weighs and how tall she is at her appt next week. My honey girl! She’s INCREDIBLE!
I’ve haven’t seamed her little sweater yet because I figured out that I can successfully knit with a baby in my lap – I’ve already started two more projects – a sock and a new sweater for her – but I can’t quite sew a seam. Especially sleeves I have to maneuver into an opening. Also, I lost knitting. It kills me to write that but it’s true. I can’t find two projects – most likely they are together – anywhere. The last time I saw them was at the hospital when Meli was born and I’m 99.999% sure they came home with me, but now? Now they’ve disappeared. I can barely talk about it, it makes me so sad.
But everything else is great. I will be back with better posts next week! PROMISE!
Maybe they’ll come out of hiding when you’re ready for them again… (although it really sucks to lose knitting!)
I’m so glad to hear everything is going well!
AND PICS???? Meli is seriously a darling! My darling is 23 and is getting her masters in speech language pathology and she is still my DARLING. The FUN has just begun!
Ouch, so sorry to hear about the lost knitting. I hope you and Meli have a good time at the flip flop party!
Any chance you left the projects in the old car when you sold it? I hope you find them!
Hey! Glad to hear all is still wonderful in J-one Land. I thought of something that might make life easier for you : The LYS I work at does sew-up on sweaters for a v. reasonable fee. Maybe yours does too. That way you can spend all that time knitting and discussing world politics with Meli, instead of easing things into armholes.
Or, if your LYS is like mine, if you took your project in there along with Meli, I bet you’d find all sorts of people willing to hold and entertain Meli while you do some quick seaming.
My baby’s 20. Ye gods, where did that time go!? I so miss holding a baby. I find myself ogling babies and striking up conversations with their moms in bookstores and such….
And yes, we want a picture or two.
your post is fine – maybe it’s that absence makes the heart grow fonder – maybe we were taking you for granted which makes us appreciate the weekly posts and ‘frequent’ baby pics that much more. good luck finding the knitting.

so happy you and Meli are doing well! She’s beautiful!!!!! i hope you find those projects! i always hate losing my knitting…
I had the most wonderful conversations with the girls when they were babies. And then they started to talk back. All hell broke loose and I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to finish a sentence since.
Meli is the cutest kid going. And she’s definitely a genius. No doubt about it. And adorable to boot.

I’m a day late, but I wanted to wish Meli’s daddy a Happy First Father’s Day! I’m sure he is enjoying his little bundle of love.
