So last week it was so fun to put her in a dress that I decided to do it again this week, even though it was cold. I just put her snow suit on over it and she was toasty warm (I think!). Here she is this morning.
When she wakes up she is usually SUCH a happy girl and has the reddest cheeks. Lately her right cheek has been chapped, either from the dry cold or the fact that she rubs her face on her blanket a million times before she goes to sleep, so that makes that side especially red. A couple of days ago when she got up from her nap she was just as happy as can be and I couldn't resist taking a couple of pictures.
I don't think I have any other exciting news to report. Oh, I finished my cake decorating class and at the last class we learned how to make roses. I wasn't especially looking forward to the task, since the week before we had tried a little bit and my super stiff icing was like clay, trying to squeeze it out. It was awful. This week I purposely made my icing a little thinner (even though we weren't supposed to), and it worked wonders! I learned the roses pretty easily. My cake, on the other hand, left much to be desired. I used a different icing recipe to ice the cake, and it was way too soft (I only used butter instead of half butter, half Crisco, like the class recommends) and it allowed way too many crumbs to come up and show through. It tastes delicious, though, so that's all that counts, right? It's an applesauce spice cake with cinnamon buttercream icing. Anyway, I will only show you the roses....I'm too embarassed to show the rest of the terrible icing job!!! 
Oh wait! I remembered something exciting!! She learned to wave this week! Everytime Daddy leaves to go to work he waves at her and we try to get her to wave back. Finally on Wednesday she figured it out. It's so cute I can hardly stand it. She waves her whole arm....sometimes both arms!
That's what's up in my world these days.
