I'm considering turning myself in to child protective services. Lainey rolled off the couch today. I was ten feet away when it happened, and even though she seems fine now, I'm convinced I've caused permanent brain damage, or at least internal bleeding. After a few minutes of consoling she was smiling again, but I think I needed consoling more to get over the guilt. Poor thing. Face plant right into the carpet. At least we don't have tile.

Hello! February was a busy month, and I'm just now getting around to reporting about it. I spent a week in California, compliments of my mom, sister, and husband. When I originally saw the flight confirmation I thought somebody had stolen my credit card. But it turns out that as an early birthday present, my family flew me to Phoenix for my cousin Rachel's wedding, and then I drove back with the fam to Temecula for a few days. Vacations are different with a baby. I felt like I was just feeding her all the time. At least I had company. My sister Justyn brought her kids to AZ, and she had a 3-week-old. Corrie was actually a huge help too. She was so good with the babies that I could leave her with Alaina on the couch while I took a shower/ got ready, etc. There was only one minor mishap:

(Baby starts screaming) "Corrie, what happened!?!?!"

Corrie: "Nothing. I don't know."

Me: "I promise I won't get mad, but I need to know what happened."

Corrie (as tears well up): "It was an accident..."

Apparently she bonked the baby's head on the table. But after what happened today, I think Alaina is safer with Aunt Corrie.

I had a great time in Temecula too. We spent time sewing, working out, eating (of course), and seeing old friends. One of the highlights was taking Corrie to a kiddie carnival. We got enough tickets for 5 rides, only to find out that she was too tall for most of them. It nearly broke my heart to watch my little sister cry after being turned away from the merry-go-round. But we found a few that she could ride, and I loved watching her have fun. I had a great time, but was excited to get back to my hubby by the end of the week. He greeted me with a list of reasons why he missed me, #1 being that he had lived off of tortillas and cheese for the past 7 days, and looked forward to the return of a balanced diet.

Since I've been back I've been on a sewing kick. I made a simple skirt and some pjs. The pjs were going to be a gift for someone, but they turned out too small. Here's the skirt:

 

And, as always, I spend lots of time obsessing over my adorable child.
