Before/ After.

After spending 4 hours on a bike in the snow and the rain this is what you get. From shiny happy to dirty cold muddy butt! Oh the things people do in the name of fun...

Green.

I took this one this weekend about 45 mins out of Fresno, where Bryce rode his first mountain bike race today in about 5 years. More on that in another post :)

Sunglasses.

I took this one today on our walk. the neighborhood was eerily quiet for lunch time on a friday today. it was the calm before the storm we're having tonight. it was good to be out in it. we took our time and I enjoyed taking it all in, as did Coop - stopping to sniff at as many spots as he possibly could.

Bryce, Mabel and I are all sick this week... Mabel started vomiting on Sunday night, by Tuesday night I was vomiting and then Bryce got his turn this morning at around 2am*. So this week has been pretty domestic. Taking care of Mabel and each other, eating bland foods, drinking gatorade and pedialyte and washing sheets, towels, and baby clothes like a mad woman. ah the joys of parenthood...

hope you have a wonderful (vomit-free) weekend

:)

*I had no idea that babies could give us their illnesses - I guess I just assumed that their germs were baby sized and while they pick up all sorts of things from other kids, us adults were immune. I mean, I never get sick... ugh. I was wrong...

Car.

This is Bryce's lego camper van that he got for Christmas from Hannah, standing in front of one of Dad's paintings for effect :P

It took him a few days to put it all together, I think it has about 1100 pieces. It came with full instructions - which I think is just cheating... did lego always have instructions, or is that a recent thing? maybe I just never looked at the instructions as a kid?

anyway, this photo challenge has been quite fun so far. some creative thinking is always a good thing :)

Window.

My Dad planted these seeds when he was here way back in October. They are Illawarra Flame Trees and the pair in the back of the photo sprouted not long after he left. This one in the foreground however just sprouted this week, when I moved the pots to a sunnier window!

I'm starting March with some creative fun. I'm joining the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day Challenge thanks to my friend Tracy. I watched her post daily photos on Facebook through February and was inspired to jump on in. Here's the list:

and you can join the fun too over here

I'll post my photos daily here, and on my pinterest board, and on my instagram.

Here's today's photo:

UP

9 months

2012-02-28T22:39:00.001-08:00

Our baby girl is 9 months old!

it happened in a heart beat, really. just like everyone tells you it does - but you never understand how that could be.

she's blossomed into quite the little character. she's got spunk.

she's cheeky. and she knows how to charm you. look at that cheeky grin :)

Mabel
- 9 months old
- 11.5kg (25.1 pounds)
- 75.5cm (29.75 inches)
- (97th percentile for both height and weight)
- 2 teeth with another on the way
- sleeps all the way through the night (yay!)
- sitting up by herself and starting to pull herself up on things and getting into a semi crawling position
- makes her way around the floor, by pushing herself backwards on her belly.

these days are super fun for me. I spend hours each day sitting and playing with her. she's not quite mobile yet but so eager to know about anything and everything around her. she's really into music and loves listening to me sing (glad someone does). loves playing with all her different toys but is equally entertained by a cardboard box or the tags on her bib. is quite the daredevil and loves the wind in her hair. she loves going fast on the swing, jumping in her jumper and when daddy flips her over and upside down. lights up when you enter the room and gives a little squeal of delight when Cooper comes near her. loves playing peekaboo. says dadadada over and over again. and working on mumumum :)

i couldn't love her more if I tried.
