First Goose Bumps!
We took Ollie to the beach yesterday afternoon. It was breezy and we were in the shade. If you look closely, you can see that Ollie's got ckicken skin!

Ring Sling Detail (Day 57)
Showing off my very uneven stitching. I wrapped the stitches, and that kind of makes them look like they are supposed to be uneven. :P

I made a ring sling :)
Last night I finished making this ring sling. I wanted a sling that I can adjust because Ollie is getting too big for me to be able to nurse him in my pouch sling. Also, the tail of a ring sling makes for a handy nursing cover.
I used the Maya Wrap sewing instructions to make my sling: http://www.mayawrap.com/n_sewsling.php Until a few months ago I had two sewing machines -- my mom's and my grandma's. Neither were working right, and they were so heavy and bulky and just in the way, mostly collecting dust. They smelled musty, too. So I ditched them. Therefore I ended up sewing my sling all by hand. Took three evenings... about 8 - 10 hours from start to finish.Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Another photo series of the day. Ollie hasn't really figured out how to manipulate the pages yet. But he knows what they taste like!

Pizza Dough for @alychee
Posting per @alychee's request.
For the flour, I've used all white, or all wheat, or most often a mixture of both. It changes the texture a bit but whatevahs.
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 packet of yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Whisk together water, honey and salt in a warm Kitchen Aid mixer bowl.
- Add yeast, whisk some more.
- Add a cup of the flour, whisk some more.
- Add the olive oil, whisk more more more.
- Stick the bowl on your Kitchen Aid mixer, and mix on 2 using the dough hook. Add remaining flour while the dough mixes.
- Mix the dough till you get a nice ball clinging to the dough hook. The ball of dough should wipe the sides of the bowl clean.
- Add small-kine water and/or flour if necessary till you get that nice ball of dough.
- Take the dough ball off the dough hook and put in a bowl greased with olive oil - let dough rise for about 45 minutes.
- Punch the dough down. You can let it rise again or you can squish it out into the shape of your pizza.
Now you can put a bunch of crazy yummy stuff on it and stick it in the oven to bake. :)

Baby Pix!
Last night I dug out my baby pictures. Daddy and I agree that Ollie looks more like I did as a baby. But he definitely has inherited Daddy's round head and eye color. :)

Turkey Pesto Pizza (Day 50)
Ground turkey, homemade pesto, Hamakua tomatoes, mozzarella cheese on homemade honey wheat crust. Was pretty good. Ollie got scared and cried when I used the magic bullet thingie to make the pesto, so that wasn't so good. Poor li'l guy.

What we did while waiting for the doctor this morning
He was such a happy boy at the doctor's office. We played tummy time, Little Bunny Foo Foo, and read Cat in the Hat. Then it was time for shots. Ollie was not happy anymore!
Actually, Ollie didn't scream and cry for too long. I had him snuggled on me in the sleepy wrap, and after a few minutes of pain, he fell asleep.
His doctor's office is at the mall, so we walked around a bit after the appointment. Mommy is tired of carrying a sleepy Ollie, so now we are just snuggling in the car, waiting for him to awaken before he goes into the car seat and we go home.

Yay year of the Tiger! I like how the figurine came with a tiny shoji screen. :)

Mirror Mirror On the Wall (Day 40)
Ollie's new favorite thing to do is stand up on the couch and look into the mirrored wall that is behind it. Today he was flirting with Mommy, grinning and eating his hand (of course).

Ollie got some new toys that Daddy brought back from the mainland yesterday. He was really busy checking them out this afternoon. It's the first time Ollie's been so interested in rattle-type toys.

@lilkenji being a good boy at Safeway at 3:47am on tsunami morning (Day 32)
We still have a lot of canned goods left from when the hurricaine was supposed to hit, so just came out to fill the car and get a few extra supplies.

Pants! (Day 27)
It was actually chilly enough this morning that we felt the need to dress @lilkenji in long sleeves and a pair of pants. He looks pretty jolly about it too. :)

Blurry Baby Lips
It kind of looks like I ran this through a Gaussian blur filter but that's just how this photo came out.
