Tummy time

Fiona turned 3 months old on Friday!  I brought her in this morning for a vaccine (yikes, we hate those) and weighed her.  11 pounds, 1 ounce.  She's getting bigger and gaining new skills every day.  She is much better at grabbing things now.  Among her favorites are her dangling toys, Mama's hair, and best of all Papa's beard!  It's really fun to interact with her and have "conversations".  She goes on and on in baby talk.  We are just loving every day with her!

This weekend we were blessed with gorgeous weather.  It was about 60 degrees and totally clear blue skies!  Keep in mind that our "hot" summer weather is about 65.  We took the girls down to the Buskin River for a swim and to soak up some rays.  The fog suddenly rolled in that evening and it looked like rain so I made a mad dash outside to bring the diapers in from the line.  It made me think of how many times I had pulled laundry from the line when I was younger at our old house on Forest Street when it started to rain!  Despite the rain last night we are thrilled that Spring has finally arrived.  The tulips are starting to come up and the grass is getting green!  Yeah!  Oh and I'm so excited to have garlic coming up in the garden. :)

Our friend Carolina had her 13th Birthday this weekend too.  It has been a tradition to help her make a birthday cake every year since we've lived here.  We have a lot of fun.  She doesn't ever want just a basic round cake either.  Over the years we've done a teddy bear, a fish, a lady bug and this year a soccer ball.  It turned out great!  Carolina and I have learned that the key to success is to keep her mom, Alex, out of the process!  It's fun to think about what types of cakes Fiona will like for her birthdays.
