"seriously, ma?!"

one more bow picture-- i can't help myself!

kevin hates them.

but she just looks ridiculously cute to me. it's so big and silly and minnie mouse-ish on her little head.

i know, i know. i'll cut it out.
:o)

welcome, sophie.

ahh, naptime.

 
thank goodness for mid-morning naps.

now, if i could only figure out how to get her to sleep in her crib ALL the time. hmmm.
gettin' closer to making that transition (i think). though having her right by our bed has been ideal and super easy for this lazy mama...

p.s. there is a miniscule chance i might be pregnant again. (i know. wtf?!!) if so, i don't think i'll ever forgive kevin. or wait-- can you get pregnant while nursing? i've heard both yes and no, but i sure as hell hope not! goodness gracious. time will tell...

just because.

i like purple.
and purple flowers are pretty.

today was a good day. how was yours?

i put ellie down to sleep an hour earlier than normal tonite, just because. i felt like i needed some 'me time' to curl up on the couch and read my kindle (currently reading: the girl with the dragon tattoo) before i had to get online for work at 8pm.

simply put?
wonderful.

"i love books..."

"they are delicious."

eleanor jo officially has 2 bottom teeth now. ouch! she's a trooper.

(and her books are holding up pretty well so far too).

pink and frilly

(my little princess)

i am a tomboy. i always have been, always will be.
(and ellie might be too, by default. who knows.)

but i must say this: since they day she was born, i have never loved the color PINK more.

pink frilly dresses, silly pink headbands with bows, pink ballerina socks that say "twinkle toes" on the bottom.... i love every bit.

or maybe it's just the lil critter who's IN all the pink.

yes, that must be it.

good tunes, good friends

a few weeks ago, on a humid sunday evening, my pal amy and i went to a little concert. dirty hippy love fest really. my favorite, ha.

first stop was molly mcpherson's pub, for a couple of beers-- which we immediately poured in to-go cups. then, it was out the door and a few quick blocks on foot to trustees theater, taking full advantage of savannah's open container law. (gotta love it). the show got a little crazy (art kids know how to do it-- we rushed the stage with the masses in this prim and proper theater, ushers aghast, hurdling quite a few rows of seats in the process to end up front and center, 10 ft out or so. then the beach balls started flyin. it was indoor bonaroo).

anyhoo, breathed it in, danced it out, felt the tunes, and let go of some of that new-mama tension....

so, in light of the amount of time i've been spending at HOME these days...

though i'm a bigger fan of '40 day dream' and the happy 'janglin' (from the ford focus commercials).

ahh. i wish savannah had a kickass amphitheater SO badly. dancing and good live music do my soul just right, and sadly, savannah gets very few good acts coming through.

hopefully the show will carry me through for a while... i'll keep my ear to the ground.

next up? film festival in october!

 
(amy and i, july 2007)
how crazy is it that i don't have any more recent photos of us?!

veggie time

 
or wait.
tomatoes are technically fruit, right?

fruit time with the munchkin.

(p.s. ellie likes to hold the cherry tomatoes... and she's figured out how to throw them now too.)

on the move...

 
ellie is 5 months old today.

wow.

(seems like only yesterday...)

the gangsta lean

 
she's got it down.

and in other, unrelated gangster news, check out big boi's new song and video, with vonnegutt. big boi is from savannah and they're cruisin downtown.


:o)
