Crafty momma nurtures new momma's soul.

I love this blog. Love, love love. It makes me want to clean less, worry less, stress less, and instead craft more, play more, just be more.

Hope you love it as much as I do.

My how she's grown...

Sweet ZuZu is now ten (yes 10!) months old. Sad. And happy. Here's a little update on what my pumpkin has been up to.

Weighs: 21 lbs.
Measures: 28 inches
Says: Banana, DaDa, MaMa, and many many other things as yet indistinguishable to my ears.
Signs: More, please, dog (this sign doubles as her sign for excitement), tree, water, all done. I think there are a few I am forgetting, it seems she is signing all over the place these days!
Does: Smells things, claps, points incessantly, brushes her hair, pulls daddy's beard, pulls Cowboy's toes, makes silly faces, pushes purees away, laughs a lot, back-arches a lot (this girl knows what she wants!), crawls, pulls up, stands alone, and - drumroll please - takes steps!!

My baby girl took her first step on Saturday and has pushed the number to three consecutive steps now. So proud of you big girl!!

Here's a video of her "silly face" (it was a weekend morning, hence the ragamuffin appearance). I'll try to post a video of her taking steps later.

Have I mentioned I'm a procastinator ... yeah.

You may have noticed my prolonged absence over the last, what, 4 months? Hmmm. Yeah. The thing is I've been meaning to write. Planning on posting some updates on what ZuZu has been up to lately. Thinking about posts I could write. But then, inevitably, I would pour myself another cup of coffee, sit on the couch with the dog, and watch my nap time window "to get things done" slipping through my fingers. oops.

But, I'm back!

I decided to close my Facebook account. I thought this a wise decision for numerous reasons, not the least of which being to have more time to blog. I find this a much nicer way to keep people up on our lives. From here on out, I hope to update at least once a week.

See you all soon!
