At Four Weeks

(Click on the picture for more cuteness.)

At four weeks you wake twice most nights, once around 2-3:30 and again at 4:30-6.
You still fold your legs up lotus style most of the time.
Your hair is so soft and out of control in the sweetest way in the back.
Your eyelashes keep getting longer and fuller.
You grab for everything within reach.
You snort when you get upset.
You make lots of noise in your sleep.
You sneeze and hiccup a lot.
You burp best for your papa.
You often hold your ear or cheek while nursing.
You point your index finger a lot.
You make the cutest anime-style smile with perfect half crescent eyes and a wide open half circle mouth.
Your arms and legs are getting chubby.
People often comment on how beautiful you are.
Oh little Emerson, you are a delight. I call you the Bug and my zen baby. If tomorrow you wake up and decide to be fussier or harder to get to sleep or more difficult in any way I want to thank you for these first four weeks of gentle break in for your completely inexperienced parents.

Happy 200 posts to me! I can't believe that two years ago I started writing this because I was wanting to craft and be part of the amazing crafting/blogging community I had discovered. These amazing , vivacious artists , mothers and creators . Everyday I would read their blogs and be blown away by beautiful pictures of wonderful things that they were creating. And they had other jobs like being mama or owning a shop. I was inspired! And then we moved into this wonderful house and a month later Senor gave me a sewing machine. I was floored because it meant he believed I could really create something. My family and friends have always been supportive but this was somehow different. Senor has this almost magical ability to take my ideas and help turn them into reality. Okay- before I diverge and wax on endlessly, let us just say, "And the rest is in my archives!" :) I am also proud to present little a! My new business! For this moment I am only taking special o...

Robinia

 Becky and I set out to make a couple of Robinia sweaters in mid-March, which took two months to complete.  Just yesterday, I wove in the ends and wore it.  I'm afraid to block it.   Specs: The Robinia has been making the rounds.  I couldn't see buying the tons of yarn it would take to create the three-strand yarn the designer used, but Becky found this chainette cotton blend, Cantata , that seemed perfect. I've recently realized that making the exact color combination that I liked in the first place is not a bad thing.  It means I get the garment I really loved in the first place. Mods: I made a size XS/S even though I could have made the M according to the designer but everything I knit comes out bigger than expected, even when I gauge swatch right on target.  (I think the blocked weight of the garment just is so much more than the swatch is what causes this, but it's just a theory.)  I didn't wrap any of my floats and it remains to b...

A short list of thoughts 1. Two trips to the pediatrician in two days is too many. Emerson is a little jaundiced and he'll be fine if they would stop poking him. 2. I find myself wanting to do nothing but stare at him. No thinking, just staring. 3. I can't get over how thankful I am to the two women who stayed up all those hours with us during the labor. I always had someone whispering encouragement, holding my hand, prompting a question, pushing my hair back; whatever I needed. And I had known them prior to this for about an hour... Thank you Ellie and Christi! 4. Finally, I have the best husband on the planet. Because all I can keep up with is this tiny person and he isn't complaining about taking care of everything else.
