I’m out of fabric and I’ve been putting off going to the fabric store to buy more so I ended up using our shower curtain for Finn’s photo this week. Oh man, is it ever awesomely bad. The shimmer, the stripes, the wrinkles. Weekly photo fail. Oh, just a heads up, I have another striped shower curtain to use for next week, unless I get to the store first. Speaking of shower curtains, I just this moment realized that I have YET another shower curtain I could have used this week which is way cooler than that blue silky mess. It’s gold. Yeah, that’s right. Gold with taupe octagons. So sounds like we’ve got weeks 26 and 27 covered.

We took a lovely walk with Finn’s grandparents (Dave’s parents) at the Florida Botanical Gardens yesterday. It is absolutely beautiful there! There is so much to see that you should plan to give yourself some time to take it all in. Here are a few pictures of some of the things I liked. I could easily go again tomorrow and find a completely different slew of plants and trees to photograph.

Yep, he’s a-teethin’!! One of his bottom teeth has already made it to the surface (it’s super sharp!) and the one right next to it is about to poke through. Though he’s a bit out of sorts, we think it’s pretty great. Yay for Finn and his chompers!

5 months old. 16 pounds. About 26 inches long.

I’m not going to lie, I’m running out of fabric. I looked at the clock this evening, saw that it was after 6pm and thought “Oops, I guess I have to take a photo still!”. So for the sake of time, I used the living room rug this week. What?!?! It’s still a textile!

Random piece of pizza found in the middle of the street.


I just can’t be a slacker anymore. Yoga, Pilates, Circuit Training, whatever. Bring it on.

These precious feet have been the source of much amusement to both Finn and myself.

A delicious smorgasbord from Mazzaro’s!

It looks like he has some crib slat markings on his face. I really need to get those bumpers ASAP.
