October update

I have been keeping super busy lately. I am sewing like crazy...ok well maybe not crazy but whenever I can squeeze it in. My goal was to get into the Farmer's Market this month, however they are booked for the date I wanted. So, I figured I will simply keep making inventory until I do get in. It's been fun with little pressure. You can check out any of the new aprons on facebook (Apple Pie Aprons).

Dixie is drooling and eating her hand constantly...I am thinking she is beginning to teethe...oh boy. She finally has a double chin and 1 roll on her legs. Although, compared to most babies her age..she is teeniny....I'm trying to fatten her up. I am thinking she is going to be a daddy's girl and she definitely is a TV fanatic...Not good! If one is on in the room she will break her neck to see it. Dixie is going to be a bumblebee for Halloween thanks to DD. We had professional pictures taken in the outfit and it is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I am looking forward to her wearing it all night:) She has also been enjoying club cousins once a week where all of the cousins get together, have lunch and play.

Evan is still busy with lawn care and is praying for the rain to stop and cooler air to come in...my poor hubby is dying in that heat! He is loving Dixie Jean to pieces and is thrilled that she is the spitting image of him.

That's about it for now.

My little cowgirl!

Daddy Boot Camp

Evan took Dixie with him to Daddy Boot camp this morning. Since he is now a "veteran" dad he was going to talk with and answer questions for expectant dads. It was so cute watching him walk into the hospital as proud papa with his Dixie Jean in tote. He requested that I put a flower on her head. I dressed her in her I love Daddy shirt and blue jean skirt. He is such an amazing father and I am so glad that Dixie is going to have such a positive role model in her life in her father. So mommy is at the coffee shop with 4 hours of "free time!" I am loving this but I miss my 2 favorite people already. Hopefully Dixie and Evan are showing these new daddies the ropes and maybe they'll even be so lucky as for her to fill up her diaper and let them change her :)

Quick update

I'm finally at the coffe shop and able to do a quick update....yea!!! Dixie is getting big (10 weeks today)..she is 9 lbs 2 oz now. That is probably because I have been giving her formula to supplement her after every feeding..I never would have thought that I would have problems breastfeeding, but here we are. She is smiling all the time now and getting such a personality. She loves watching sports with daddy (really she is just amused by tv..GREAT!) She likes family reading time and her new rainforest music thingy in her crib. Evan has been working hard, but as fall approaches business will unfortunately slow down (good for family time..not so good for the bank account). I am sewing a lot (By the way Apple Pie Aprons has moved to facebook) and absolutely loving being a mommy and housewife. I am a lucky girl! Here are some recent pictures:

All the cousins

" And baby blue was the color of her eyes.."


Daddy loves carrying her in the B'jorn!

Cheese!

Dixie's first smiles:

Almost 1 month

I hate that I never get a chance to blog anymore. It makes me sad, but that's life. Dixie Jean is doing great and I can't believe she will be a month next week. I am loving being a
mommy and Evan is a GREAT daddy as I knew he would be. He calls her "sweetheart" all the time. It was definately an adjustment at first and some days still are, but it is AWESOME! I really can't picture our life without our sweet caterpillar. Yes, that is the nickname I have given her. Evan calls her capitellar...and sometimes I steal it. Don't ask why we call her that..it just came out and stuck.

We are slowly trying to take her out in public and get a bit of normalcy back. We walk her on the lakefront, she will go to Target for the 1st time today and we are excited to take her to church this week. She is getting big already and as much as I am ready for her to do things like sleep through the night.....I love snuggling her and don't ever want her to grow up.
