Hey guys, So many things have changed since I started this blog. I had my first big girl job, I decided to leave my first big girl job to focus on my dreams. Cordelia turned into a toddler! I decided to start fresh at a new blog. Follow me at http://robutton.blogspot.com/ to see my projects and adventures! </div>

Welcome Cordelia's first tooth! Down there on the bottom! In this picture it's only a tiny white blob, in real life it's pearly white and super sharp, and perfect, truly perfect :)<br />

<div>Brendon got home early from work today; after he and baby girl took extremely long naps (while I worked on a sewing project that failed horribly) I decided that we needed to get out of the house. We have had the wackyist weather in the D.C area this winter, today was in the 50s! So we took advantage of the beautiful day and went to the park, and Cordelia took her first try at the swing. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cordelia is now eight months old. I am amazed with how fast time goes by, I'm hoping it slows down soon but I wont hold my breath. She is crawling and pulling herself up to stand. She says "Mama" and "Dada". She LOVES to play with the cats (when they let her) and she eats a lot! Cordelia is a busy bee, she loves to play with her books:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

These pictures were taken on her seven month "birthday" so they are a little late to the blog. These days Cordelia is so mobile I can't turn around for a second and expect her to be in the same place I left her! Thankfully now she can sit back down just as well as she can stand, for a short while there she would stand up and be so proud of herself and then she would get board of standing and become distressed because she didn't know how to get back down! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I hate New Years. I'm afraid that it makes me horribly pessimistic, all I can think about it all the crap I DIDN'T accomplish. Well, ten days later I'm trying to be more optimistic! So I have thought a lot about this list, and I had to think even more on it once I realized that this is also the year I will turn 25 so this is also my list of things I want to do before I'm 25, YIKES where did the time go!<br />
<br />
<ol><li><span style="text-align: center;">Write a blog post AT LEAST twice a week</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Make a pair of pants for myself</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Find a job (It doesn't have to be perfect yet, but that would be nice)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Finally, finally, finally launch Robutton</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Read Cordelia a book before bed every night (I'm slacking on this a little)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Weed negative, selfish people out of my life</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Send Birthday cards</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Exercise. Make a habit of it. So far I'm doing ok with this one. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Eat more fruits and veggies</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Get the cats to run around and exercise everyday! They are getting too lazy! </span></li>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Merry Christmas from our happy, and tattoo proud Family! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This Christmas was the most insane Christmas I have ever experienced. We celebrated at five different houses, not including our own. Additionally, we were blessed by having a very large family and that puts a lot of people on the "To Give" list. Don't get me wrong, I love giving presents, but it takes a lot of stress and time and money to cover everyone and I have kind of decided that it takes the fun out of the holiday and distracts from the importance of the holiday as well. I'm not sure where I stand on the birth of Christ aspect, but Christmas is about family and spending time with those you hold dear to your heart. </div>Katie Pink http://www.blogger.com/profile/00507509296673629117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769540569244720888.post-36803222578055354542011-12-23T10:13:00.000-08:002011-12-23T10:13:30.353-08:00It's been awhile. . . againHello readers, I hope you are still there! I took a little break from the blog, life was more than a bit hectic and I had some personal things going on that left me little energy for anything. I hope to turn this blog into a regular thing again, I love blogging and I really have missed it. Now to catch you up! (<i>well on the big things at least</i>)<br />

These beautiful photos were taken by an awesome photographer I know- check him out<a href="http://www.designedbykay.com/"> here</a>.

You are growing so much, you are now 24 inches long and weigh 13 pounds 4 ounces. With time flying like this, next thing I know you will be asking to borrow the car.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I enjoy each and every day with you, and every day I become more and more confident about being a mom! I love to watch you sleep, I love to read you books, I love to give you baths, and I love to watch you eat- I don't really <b>love</b> changing your stinky diapers but I love how happy you are afterwards. Most of all, I love to see you smile! You just started smiling and it's magical. It's better then ice cream, pedicures, new shoes and the smell of fresh spring rain combined. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Your personality is coming out more and more every day. You love when your daddy says silly things, and when I sing and dance with you. Your favorite toys to play with are your giraffe Sophie and your purple Heffalump because they both make fun noises.

<div style="text-align: left;">Here is another great cupcake recipe from Lizzy over at <a href="http://www.yourcupofcake.com/">Your Cup of Cake</a>! I am enjoying sifting my way through her cupcake recipes. One of the things I love about cupcakes is how easy they are to share! It keeps me from eating a whole cake by myself :) This is the <a href="http://www.yourcupofcake.com/2011/03/chocolate-coconut-cupcakes-almond-joy.html">Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes</a>, also known as the Almond Joy Cupcakes. They are so tasty, and this is the best chocolate buttercream icing I have ever had, but I do want to find a way to make them a little more coconuty. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

However first I want to talk a little bit about how I organize recipes at home. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="RECIPE BOX and Cards - Navy Blue and Hot Pink, Custom Colors Available" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_570xN.254105356.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I tried, for what feels like years, to organize my recipe's in a cute, and classic, way- like in the recipe box above. I spent forever copying recipe's onto note cards like my mom and sister did, and I spent forever trying to make time to copy even more recipe's onto note cards. Whenever I used my handy little recipe cards they never did manage to make it back into their little box. One day I decided I had enough- I needed something functional! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have learned how amazing life is, and how crazy it is that your father and I created life when we created you. I truly know, without a shadow of doubt that all of the time I struggled while I was pregnant was worth it, 100% worth it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I have learned that a person does not know, or understand fear, until they become a parent. I learned this when you were exactly a week old and we had to take you to the emergency room. Nothing can describe the feelings your father and I felt as you lay on the hospital bed, and nothing can describe the feeling of relief when we found out you were ok. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have learned that holding a newborn baby can help people work through great grief and sadness, it can give new hope and help people understand the circle of life. Holding you has helped me understand this too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have learned that breastfeeding is hard, but I am so happy that it is something I can do for you, and I love the moments I share with you because they are unique to you and I.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I have learned that many people feel your birth erases their own nasty behavior, but I have also learned to never let their behavior sully my time with you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am so amazed by you. You have grown so much! You weigh 11 lbs now and you grew a whole inch! You are so much more awake and I can see you seeing me. At first I had no idea what we should do when you were awake, and sometimes all we do is stare at each other. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am amazed by the peace and love that you fill me with, even when I can't figure out why you are crying ;) I hope that you will always know how special you are, and how much your father and I love you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Your father explains life and his emotions with song lyrics, I conclude this post with lyrics that express his feelings now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for the branch you grew on this tree.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Your first breath wasn't easy to find.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So you signified the mountain you climbed,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">By lettin' out a warriors cry and it sounded like mine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now everybody hold up the family sign.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>-Something So, Atmosphere</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">While pregnant I felt a great desire to bake, but I had very little free time because I was swamped with my last semester of school, preparing for Cordelia, and being sick to my stomach- so I never managed to bake anything. When I came across this recipe I jumped at the chance to make it for the hubby for his first Father's Day (he loves Andes Mints). The recipe came from <i><a href="http://www.yourcupofcake.com/">Your Cup of Cake,</a> </i>I stumbled across this blog and I have quickly become obsessed, I think I want to try all of her recipes.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On April 30th 2011 my husband and I welcomed our little girl, Cordelia Ito, into this world. She was 8lbs 10 oz of beautiful joy, she is the center of our world, and we are blessed to have her. On April 30th 2011 my husband and I started the first day of the rest of our lives, It is amazing and heavy all at the same time. </div>Katie Pink http://www.blogger.com/profile/00507509296673629117noreply@blogger.com1
