Maisie is almost crawling!

Here's a short clip of her wiggling across the rug!

Some days in the life of Maisie

Maisie in the twilight zone, a typical diaper change, hanging out with Dustin who helps me during the week, and asleep in the backpack with daddy

Food processors

are great for making homemade carrot cakes. You can actually making everything - the whole batter, shredded carrots and all, and the cream cheese frosting, all in the work bowl - beauty!

I've known Rich for 4 years, three of those married, and each year since we've been married, I've attempted to make his favorite cakes for his birthday, #27 was this past Sunday. The first year it was maple walnut chiffon, last year was apple dapple cake, and this year, carrot. Next year I think I will have to attempt an ice cream cake. I will probably just buy one. But I'm pretty proud of this year's so here are some pictures of it... Everyone we had over for lunch loved it so, I guess it turned out well.

Say goodbye...

...to gummy grins. Maisie cut her first tooth yesterday (February 21) These are the last pictures taken of her sans les dents, or more accurately avant les dents. I think she's got skills to be a DJ - she's practicing scratching her little wheel like a turntable.
