Miss Cookie Face

One of the things I love to do with Annabel during the day is baking. She loves to "help," and especially loves to sneak bites of batter and dough! She has the cutest little apron (she calls it her "opern") that I still need to get a picture of her in. This week we made chocolate chip cookies. I had to take some pictures of her enjoying the warm cookies just out of the oven! 

                                "Whoops!"

Last weekend we went to some friends for a Super Bowl party. Derek made me dig out Annabel's cheerleading outfit from last year... it is a size 12 mo! The sleeves were a little short, so we rolled them up, and of course it fit more like a tunic than a dress this year... but overall it worked :) Here she is playing stamps with Derek's boss:

And how I spent most of the evening...

Here are some silly belly pictures that Derek snapped before we left... 22 weeks here. And my hair is wet, not greasy! 

I posted on Facebook tonight that we have more or less decided on a name for Baby Dodo. Annabel knows his name... but it sounds suspiciously like she is saying "Baby Asshole!" Any guesses?! :) We weren't really planning to reveal the name... but this was so funny I just couldn't resist! I about spit out my milk at supper when I heard her say it! I'm just hoping she gets the pronunciation down a little better before June...

Oh yeah, one last picture. I finished the sweater I've been making for the baby! Here it is, so tiny and cute! The wool is a superfine merino, just so soft and cuddly. And I'll probably switch out the yellow ribbon for a light blue one, I just wanted to see how the ribbon would look. It's a pretty light wool, so I'm hoping it will fit around early fall. This was my first "big" project, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!
