it is HOT!

san francisco has been in the 80's this weekend so we have been enjoying the outdoors. (this little outfit is from our friend essie in south africa. the little genie pants are adorable!)

dottie's day at the beach

we went to the beach yesterday to check out daddy's surfing abilities. chris and erene met us there with fortune...

fasten your seatbelts

as we mentioned in an earlier post, dottie took her first plane rides last week. i just downloaded pictures from my ipohone and came across this goofy snap. on the way back, it was just mom and daughter so i was a little nervous about the flight. we ended up being fortunate enough to get a whole row to ourselves and she was an angel. phew! (unfortunately i couldn't get her to smile for this one)

buddies

dottie and i went over for another visit with tray and isa yesterday. when we had them on the couch next to each other, they kept reaching their hands over to see who was there. (no cute tulip shirt anymore because of a horrible spit up incident!)

tulips

dottie decided to kick it in tulips yesterday. she was feeling very "dutch door pressy"!

dottie recently went to visit her family in pittsburgh and toronto. check out the pics:

dottie's first big trip

wednesday we flew out to pittsburgh to see family and then up to toronto to see more family. in toronto she is lucky enough to meet one of her namesakes, her great grandmother dorothy...

dottie at the studio

dottie has been coming to the studio (dutch door press) with me about 3 days a week lately. this is a picture of her kicking it on the couch...

snoozy mcsnoozerson

we went out for a walk this afternoon with dottie facing out in the baby bjorn for the first time. she thought it was pretty cool but got sleepy at the end.

dottie in her easter bonnet

this was a bonnet that mara wore when she was a baby. we tried it out on dottie today in honor of easter and it fit perfectly(for the 2 minutes she let us keep it on her).

buddha baby

dottie is now fitting into 3-6 month clothes so we are having fun putting some things on her that have been waiting for her to grow into them. check out this cute little number from her aunt julie, uncle thomas, ellis, and sadie grey.

good morning dottie

every morning when we go in to rescue dottie from her crib, she looks up at us and gives us a huge smile. then, because she is swaddled all night, she has a HUGE stretch. it is so cute we just had to share it.

dottie goes to golden gate park

dottie took a little trip to golden gate park to see the flowers. click below for a little slideshow.

a night out with the gals

a bunch of us got together at anna's to have lasagna and gab. siena and marie came over to visit from berkeley and our good friend allison was in town visiting from nyc. this picture is a group shot of friends i made working at paper source...and their kids of course!

fun with mortimer and milo

dottie had a little fun with mortimer moose and her brother milo this morning....

dottie and isa

dottie and i went to go for a walk with tray and isa today and had a great time! we did a little photo shoot before the walk and the pictures are hilarious. isa is a little over a month older than dottie. it is just amazing to see the difference a month makes with how isa interacts. i am looking forward to all of dottie's new developments to come...

Zonked

The car puts her right to sleep! We took this picture because she was sleeping in her carseat we thought she looked pretty darn cute. The dress is courtesy of Aunt Julie and the hat is courtesy of her parents.

my daddy is so cool!

he can play Guitar Hero while he holds me (and I sleep!)
