Lots to do and see

We had some photos of Zaiya at a month old- the soonest we could get into a photographer for newborn photos. We got some pretty sweet ones of her, but not too many did we get with her eyes closed since she wasn't very 'newborn' even when she was born. She's doing well- healthy and happy and full of personality we are finding!

After we had these photos, I went home for two weeks because no one in my family has met Zaiya except for mom. So, these are some photos of meeting her aunts and uncles and Grandpa Doug. 

 Dustin found her a truck set :) And he was demonstrating the proper way to drive truck!

She loves her Uncle Tony

I love this photo. Grandpa and Zaiya were taking a nap and woke up at the click of the camera.

Whiski babysitting

Warm and beautiful

Today is 60 degrees!! I can't believe it. Zaiya and I went for a walk today and when we returned took a look at my flower beds. What a nice surprise to find 2 in tall flowers coming up. I think its hyacinths but could also be tulips. I do not plant very systematically!
We also spent some time in the seeing room. She's loving textiles already *yes!* and then I made this little skirt. Turned out lovely, although titch too small for my baby but just in time for some baby presents for a little girls arrival.

Quick love note

7 weeks ago today we welcomed this little monkey! In reality its hard to look back on life before her since we have just goggled over how adorable she is in life, how angelic she is in sleep and even how cute her crying is. Yes we are weird parents! But its true. Her cry is this whimper cry that makes me smile and then I feel like a hero when I pick her up, she cozies into my arms and her cry becomes a whimper-but-all-is-well-because-mommy-has-me.

Today is a blizzard here on the prairie. Daddy is stranded at home, happily! And we are happy too. Check out these morning smiles! She just makes my day!
