at the zoo: summer in april?

yesterday we took little miss to the bronx zoo...

spring colors + friendly monsters.

hello march.

abby and i are very excited to see you!
we are looking forward to:

starting classes at the little gym of jc
getting two front teeth (they are just about out!)
turning 9 months!
spring weather + trips to the park
our first big nyc parade
losing weight + getting back in shape (that's me...)
lots of scrapbooking
turning off the heat (for good) + opening the windows
spring cleaning!

maybe even learning to stand up... omg.

really really happy we are headed into spring. it opens up so many more possibilities for little miss & i. it just needs to get a little warmer and then we are spending every single day OUTSIDE. well, close to every single day.

today i looked up from the layout i'm working on...

{little tiny sneak of another two pager. woah.}

and saw little miss doing this...


omg. i have to say that i hadn't actually put her down anywhere near her piano... i usually leave it at one corner of her play area so she can get to it herself when she wants it. and there she is kneeling at it. that's like one push away from STANDING. standing. one her own. without my help. seriously?!? my baby cannot be working on how to stand herself up yet. no no no no. *sigh*

{ok mini mommy-tantrum over}

the increased mobility of my little miss in just the past two weeks completely boggles my mind. i'm so proud and amazed by her every day. not to mention just how independent she is. i can't wait to start classes at the little gym next week. we are going to have a blast and i'm hoping we meet some great babies + mommies to organize some more playdates with!

so, i think that's enough blabbing about my amazing kid for today...

i hope that everyone has a fantastic march & that spring quickly shows it's beautiful face in all of our lives!

love.

inspired by: easter!

joey and i are having my sister over for easter this year and i'm really excited. i'm planning a bunch of little projects to decorate the house and goodies to treat ourselves with. i haven't seen my sister since my first trimester so i'm really happy to have the chance to spend some time with her before the baby gets here...

i'm so inspired by spring and thought i'd share some beauties to kick off the weekend of fun projects and lovelies.

completely amazing.

and i know this has nothing to do with easter (really) but they were too cute not to share...
i need to pick up a little booties knit pattern asap.

hope everyone has a great weekend. i have the whole weekend with my joey which means nesting, shopping, the park, and lots of cuddling.

love.
