Thinking about knitting

I know it's the holidays because I have resurrected my all consuming burning desire to knit. Unfortunately, what with baby-and-presents-and-cards-and-cookies-and-messy-house, all I have mustered the energy to do is look at free knitting patterns and think about what I would like to make. Well, that's not exactly true. I did make my handy dandy patent pending braided cable gauntlets and a hat for Maya that fits her funny. It probably won't be worn much if I don't fix it. (I say that like I can't just put her in whatever funny looking thing I want.)
I am currently obsessed with the idea that I will knit cute and oh-so-hip toys like these for my baby girl to protect her from all of the made in China phthalate and lead paint popsicles out there, while at the same time developing her sophisticated little aesthetic. However, I still need to buy and make lots of presents for people who are actually aware that it is Christmas. Basically, if even one little Woodin actually gets knit, it will be Christmas miracle.

Do you know your a mom when you can breastfeed, check a temperature (98.1) and type at the same time?
I guess if you are breastfeeding, you'd better be a mom.

Well, gotta go, I think the cat's peeing in the hall again.

Collic Schmollic

I haven't posted in a while and lots of you are still under the impression that Maya has collic. I am happy to report that this is not the case. It turns out that she was sensitive to wheat and dairy in my diet and now that I have cut those out she is a very happy baby. She has even started to laugh! Here's a smiley picture as proof :)
