When they tell you that your life changes after you have children, and you have to give up all your old habits and expectations...

...they never tell you that you might find yourself in an intimate little downtown trattoria, eating bruschetta and grilled vegetables and prosciutto-and-mushroom-stuffed chicken in wine sauce, sharing a bottle of pinot grigio, and having an uninterrupted adult conversation, while your one-year-old sits peacefully next to you, alternately absorbed in people-watching and demolishing the heel of some of the best Italian bread you've ever had.

This is just to say thank you, Alex, for being such a pleasure to travel with.

She can't _possibly_ be one year old. When the heck did that happen??

(Then again in a few weeks the Weegirl will be eight... no idea how that happened either!)

Would you mind if I knitted something for Alex? And if you wouldn't, what colours look good on her and what kind of thing would you like?

And in fact, she isn't one year old... yet. She'll be one on the 11th of April.

I wouldn't at all mind! Thank you! My rough guess based on her growth charts is that, next winter, she'll weigh around 25 pounds and be about 34 inches/85cm tall. Her head size tends to be bigger than her clothing size. We don't really have any clothes for next winter, yet, so hat/socks/jumper/whatever would all come in handy. We're pretty well supplied with baby blankets.

I think her most flattering colors are turquoise (http://www.flickr.com/photos/rivka/101427924/in/set-72057594066566145/) and soft yellows and oranges (http://www.flickr.com/photos/rivka/54461700/in/set-1180656/), but the only color that actually looks bad on her is lime green.

And do you prefer fancy yarn or yarn that's machine wash/dryable?
