This sweet girl,

Is 5 months!!

We couldn't ask for more! She still sleeps all night and is now taking regular morning and afternoon naps. Loves her big brother and baths. Is eating solid food and isn't picky about what she eats. Loves to smile and laugh.....oh, what that smile does to me.

Has figured out how to push herself up on her arms. Which reminds me crawling won't be too far off.

Our lives are complete now. Didn't know what we were missing until now.

We love you baby girl!!!!

Sew on the wild side

I have been on the hunt for a pillowcase dress for Ainsley. I found loads of them on-line but I wasn't willing to pay the $35-$50 they charge for 'em. Crazy, right? So I started looking for a pattern. After an exhausting and frustrating search I finally found (and paid for) the pattern measurements. Yes, you have to make the patterns yourself. Now, I've never been a math or geometry kinda gal...so this was painful. Ha! I finally got the patterns made and had a feeling of accomplishment. This is what I started out with.

Voila!! It fits her perfectly. These dresses are great. She can wear them with a long sleeve onesie and tights now, and then as a sundress this summer.

Showing Some Love

I wanted to do something different this year. Not the same 'ol card boring card on Valentines Day. So, I came up with this this.

I have all flavors of cookie cutters...this one is about 3". It works great.

I used the cookie cutter to trace 28 hearts onto cardstock paper. Yes, I did say 28. 14 for Michael and 14 for Tanner, that does make 28, right?

After cutting them out I wrote something special one each one.

Here is 10 days worth of hearts (please ignore the ugly white walls....still in process of painting).
They really have had a lot of fun with these. Girls, dont't foget to tell your honey how much you admire them.....they need it! *wink*

I'm going to try making homemade donuts this weekend. Yum! Will let you know how that goes.

Snags

He lost another tooth at school last week! Yes, he is missing 3 teeth on top. Don't you just love a toothless grin.....on a kiddo that is. Just thought I better clear that up. ; ) I tried for days to get a picture....you'd think I was pulling teeth! HA!

Yes, I do poke fun every now and then but I do know that these days will soon be gone, and I'll be the one longing for the tooth fairy days. (Sniff, sniff)
