Arie Alex: 8 weeks old

Here is the long awaited quilt mama designed for me.

Maddie did such an amazing job putting it together.  It is beautiful!  We love it!  Thanks Maddie!

Here I am being 8 weeks old!

The changing table is the happiest place on earth!

I discovered my hands this week.  I love sucking on my fists.  I'm so talented! 

I love my swing and my legs are now fat enough to hold up my Baby Legs!  I'm 11lbs this week.

This the bag for my Fuzzie Bunz and Bum Genius cloth diapers

My curtains and crib and star!

This is my shoe drawer, but may I point out that all these shoes were given to me.

The music box and coin bank are from my Great Granny Mohr and the sampler is from my Great Grandma Bailey.

Here is my beautiful, crib bumper!

These books were Grandma Heath's when she was a little girl.  Mama loves to read to me.

Mama loves birds!  Maddie made these birds for me.

These birds are from my second cousins Heather and Patrick.  You can purchase these lovely pieces of art at PBK!

Daddy spray painted a branch from the back yard and hung the butterflies that Leah gave to me.

Too Cute

Thought these were too cute not to put up.

Pick of the Week: The Weepies, Say I Am You

I first heard the song "World Spins Madly On" on the pop, teen series, One Tree Hill. I've actually find a lot of good music on that show. I mean it is just a scripted commercial for everything from CD's to makeup, clothes and good causes, right?  So I bought The Weepies latest album, Say I Am You. They have a laid back, folky sound that has successfully gotten me in the mood for the warmer seasons. It is the album that you want to have in your iPod as you are laid out on a blanket in a green field, watching the clouds float by. It is the CD you want in the CD player, as you sit in the back of a convertible, on a warm evening, driving on a windy road through the woods, as the trees come together in a never ending green canape overhead. It is the music you want playing as you are sitting barefoot, on a Tuesday, back porch evening, with a cold glass of wine, and your best friends. It is the sound track for spontaneous road trips, last minute BBQ's, stopping by unannounced, summer late night talks, kissing in the rain, and watching your daughter smile for the first time.
My favorite songs are "Suicide Blonde" "Gotta Have You" and "World Spins Madly On"

They happen to be coming out with a new album called Hideaway on April 22nd. I can't wait!

Arie Alex: Week 4

Excuse me!  We are missing a very important piece of my wardrobe!!!

Haaa.  That is much better.  I'm ready for my close up.

The lovely Airawen Alexandra is sleeping now.   No more pictures please.  Being four weeks old is way harder than it was being three weeks old and she needs her beauty sleep.
