green beans

For all of you who were waiting on pins and needles to find out, the green beans seemed to be a hit last night. She made a strange face with the first couple of bites, but then she kept opening her mouth for more.

Today's adventure was a trip to JoAnn's to buy supplies to make a grocery cart cover. (So when the baby sits in a grocery cart, she's not getting another baby's yucky germs). I had the fabric already, I just needed some other odds and ends. I'm making this up myself, following a loose description of how to do it that I found on the internet. So this afternoon I made a pattern out of tissue paper and cut out the fabric. Now I'm in a dilemma about how to sew it together, because I'm trying to put batting on the inside to make it softer, but am running into problems. I think it's time for a call to Mom, the sewing expert who taught me everything I know.

Anyway, that's what's up here. My dear daughter is currently waking up from a nap--I hear her starting to stir through the monitor down here. Usually she talks to herself for awhile, stares at the blinds and so forth, and then I go get her. That's where I'll be heading in a few minutes, unless, by some stroke of luck, she decides to go back to sleep (which does happen on occasion, but sadly, not often enough).
