sylvi in action

does falling asleep count as 'in action'? i don't know, but there you have it, sylvi's video debut.

on another note, phil is traveling, isa is teething, sylvi has a tummyache. yep, that pretty much sums it up. good thing we had this video on hand, as blogging might be slim in the coming days.

big girl style

guess who used the potty for real today? that'd be isa. must have been the mismatched babylegs that did the trick. or the new sea animal underwear. either way, she was one proud little girl. she ran around for the rest of the morning saying, "i DID it! i DID it!" and then proceeded to ask for more m&m's (her reward for going). ah, potty training.

yum.

look who found their thumb. i think we definately have a thumb sucker on our hands here, which is a relief since she apparently has a very strong sucking reflex and isn't so keen on a pacifier. sylvi is just getting the hang of the whole thing and will hopefully be able to find her thumb on her own very soon. now she only goes to town on it if it magically lands in her mouth or if it's directed that way by yours truly. the pictures don't show it, but it's rather amusing to watch, as usually her hand is positioned in a way that looks like her hand is attacking her face. can you picture it? i swear it's funny! the whole house can attest to that. as for the face she is making in the top photo? that's the sylvi skeptical look, furrowed brow and all. very serious business indeed.

busy, busy, busy.

phil tiled the kitchen this weekend! yay! all is done but the grout at this point, so there will be finished pictures soon. in addition, it's been a blur of organizing and cleaning and cleaning and organizing around here. gotta take advantage of having the extra set of hands around here while we can! back to regular blogging soon!

Scarves for sale!

as it turns out, these scarves are rather addictive! i had alot of local requests after Art in the Afternoon for more of them (they sold out fast that morning) so i made another batch over the holidays. and now that the locals have had their pick, i figured i might as well put the word out there in blogland just in case anyone else in interested. here is what i have left for sale.

for those of you who haven't seen or felt them, well, i will do my best to describe just how soft they are. each scarf is backed in ivory colored minky fabric (remember the blanket? right!). they really are soft beyond words-- you'll just have to trust me on this one! they measure approximately 6 inches wide by 72 inches long.

so, have a look at the album if you're interested. there are only a few left and who knows how long they'll stick around. i'll do my best to update the album as they sell. if you'd like to purchase one, send me an email at mountainavenbaby@gmail.com.
