Yuppp. I need these thigh high boots! No doubt.

Her names Lila and you can find her at bakersshoes.com

Mwaah* See you on Christmas day sweet lila 

This past weekend, I had the honor and privilege to do my childhood friend’s makeup. Check out her lovely photos before and after. She looked stunning at the wedding!

Have you ever actually TRIED to convince three dogs to sit still at the same time, look at a camera, and look happy doing it? It’s quite a challenge, really. I keep telling myself that having dogs is going to prepare me for having kids one day – and it’s got to be true. Here’s a photo we took 2 years ago.

The pretty blue merle girl in the front my (now) senior ‘houla girl, Bonnie. She was my first rescue and is the one who introduced me to Catahoulas, now one of my favorite breeds. Lila is the gorgeous yellow lab in the photo, my first “failed foster” and the one that really stole my heart. Rory is the beautiful weim girl in the photo. Rory was fostered in my home for 17 months before she found her perfect forever home in Florida, but when she left home she carried a piece of my heart with her.

I’m anxious to see how today’s photos turn out. Getting a photo of all of the pups currently living in my house together would be a riot – and impossible! But with Stacey’s help we hope to get a few good Christmas shots to decorate our website and petfinder page. We’d love to see each of our foster pups find their forever homes in time for Christmas. So, stay tuned ….

I know what you’re all thinking: more excuses for not posting for a whole month. And yes, I have some good excuses (busy business, woohoo, busy with friends/family), but I’ll spare you the details. We’re just busy.

But! I have pictures! And we all know that’s really why you stop by. That’s why I stop by.

First though, Lila update. She is AWESOME. She’s crawling everywhere, getting into everything. Her favorite “no-nos” are the cords under my desk and the stairs. She’s pulling to standing, and loves the coffee table for this. Or her crib. There’s nothing cuter than walking into her room after a nap (which…yeah. still a catnapper), and seeing her standing in her crib waiting to be rescued.

We got a Christmas tree on Sunday, some of you may have seen this on Facebook. So far, she could care less that there’s a big old tree in her living room. We think this may change tonight…something about shiny glass ornaments and lights may be slightly more enticing than a boring plain tree. Good thing we’ve had a few years practice in putting all the non-breakable ornaments on the bottom of the tree with Roxie.

Lila as of yesterday weighs 17lbs, 12.5oz (30%), and is 27.75″ long (57%). We’re halving her reflux meds, because she’s been so much better about spitting up all the live long day. Hopefully she’s just outgrowing the reflux.

Lila will blow kisses if we ask her to–she doesn’t use her hand, she just makes the noise with her mouth. It is SO CUTE. She also says “da-da-da-da”, and everything is “a-DA!”. She recognizes herself in photos, and loves the mirror.

She is slowly trying solid foods, which is sometimes fun, sometimes nerve-wracking. She has a straaange palate. Her favorite foods right now are pickles (we cut them up and give to her in a mesh bag–they’re still too hard for her to eat on her own), extra sharp cheddar cheese (not mild cheese, no thanks), hummus, and Cheerios, of course. She will eat almost anything once, but still really doesn’t like fruit. She liked a piece of pineapple I gave her last week, so we’re going to try that again this week. She doesn’t like bananas or avocado. She also loves pasta (with or without red sauce) and meatballs (turkey and beef)–she IS part Italian, after all! She’s drinking out of a sippy cup, but we still do bottles for her milk. She is fresh about taking a bottle or sippy cup from anyone during the day (read: she just flat out won’t, 90% of the time), but she will take a bottle before bed.

I can’t believe it’s been 9 months already. This year is just a blur of craziness. It’s time for breakfast over here, but I’ll leave you with some pics I took of Lila this past month. After all, the pics are the most important part!

(loving the coffee table!)

(this was Tree Day…I love her hat! And yes, it’s a “boy hat”)

Life is good.

Captain Picards Tip des Tages: Das Wollwaschprogramm der Waschmaschine auch nur für Wolle benutzen – denn es wird weniger geschleudert. Damit kommt die Wolle gut zurecht, alles andere jedoch tropft und trieft noch stundenlang zum Gottserbarmen. Picard aus.

sweet lila

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Att visa sin kärlek till någon behöver inte alltid vara så komplicerat. 

Det kan vara så enkelt som ett namn, i lila, på en blöt gata.

Do I need to say more?

Sonntag, Sonntag, Sonntag! Nichts zu tun, rumliegen, Blog basteln, lesen, fernsehen…

Achtung, schlechtes Wortspiel: Goethe und Schiller geben meinem Leben erst Würze.

Bestes Essen der Welt: Süßkartoffeln mit echt fiesem Käse, in diesem Falle ein seit zwei oder drei Tagen abgelaufener Raclette. Mit meinen grandiosen Spießer-Gewürzstreuern, die quasi schon einem Lehrerhaushalt angemessen wären. Bei einer Linguistin und einem Theologen fühlen sie sich aber auch wohl.

What do you think of these? which do you like? dislike and why? which could you see on a child born in the next couple of years?
