5 months

Scout’s 5 months old today, September 1st! My friends over at other blogs do little “What you are doing now” posts and I always think they are so cute. Considering there’s not a mark in Scout’s baby book, this may be a good place for me to keep record!

Scout’s Space

Well, I’m a bit late (actually a couple weeks) on posting pics of Scout and Paxon’s rooms for Kelly’s Korner! I actually took the time to clean up their rooms and take pictures a few weeks ago, so I’m going to post them anyway, if only for my memory!

Come on in.

 I purchased the changing table (i.e. [...]

no rub on chubs

Scout’s car seat straps were rubbing on his chubby neck, so I set out to make some strap covers.  Again, not because I have time to turn my kitchen table into a sewing shop, but because we needed the strap covers. I’m starting to see a pattern here. I think I’m creating these necessities as [...]

where my shorties at?

I knit Scout some “shorties”  using the wool we dyed with Kool Aid. 

 These pics were taken a few weeks ago, so he isn’t shrinking, I’m just procrastinating.

You would think the wool diaper covers would be too warm, but the wool is actually more breathable than our plastic covers or disposables. Another wool advantage, it’s completely water [...]

sew help me

Yesterday’s sewing adventure was sparked by these handsome little onesies with a tie on the front. I wasn’t sure where to start, so thank goodness for Betty Lou, she’d been there and done that. For those of you who don’t have a magical, crafty, on-call family member, here’s my clumsy rendition.
Let’s begin.

You’ll probably need to [...]

I have a small obsession with legwarmies, even worse, chunky baby legs in legwarmies. Problem is, I had boys and my husband isn’t a fan…..clearly many of you can understand why. When our son’s outfit reminds folks of the 80’s wardrobe staple as seen below, it’s time to evaluate the situation.

Resemblance?

So for now, [...]

leave it to the pro’s

Our friends from The Woodlands, Keith and Shannon (and their kiddos Katie and Ryan), came over this weekend to visit.
Shannon just happens to be an amazing photographer (check out her photography blog): so even with a messy bedroom as her studio and a cranky newborn as her subject, she was able to use her magic [...]

define necessity

 
OK, I know I said there was only time to knit “necessities” , but once I saw this knitted cocoon online, it was necessary! So amidst the wailing newborn, spunky preschooler, and mounds of laundry, I headed to the yarn store and got to knitting. 
It served it’s purpose in getting me a few pics, all the [...]

flash me

I took some pics of the boys yesterday in an attempt to get birth announcements off my to-do list.

Or maybe I could use these? This is more our reality.

Have a joyous weekend everyone!

supper in the afternoon

Anyone who has been around a newborn has probably experienced what they call “The Witching Hour.” For some unexplained reason, many newborns become crankier in the evenings during the first few months. So, the only way we get a homemade meal around this place is if I prepare it in the afternoon while [...]
