    Handmade Burp cloths

    Any mother knows that burp diapers are a neseccity.
    If your baby spits up often that burp diaper seems to become a part of you.
    I thought if I'm going to have something hanging over my shoulder most of the day
    it would be nice if it was stylin'!

    Here are a few I have made.
    I'm selling them for $3.50 each.
    They are approximately 16" X 11"
    They are backed with a white absorbant terry cloth.











    The Argyle burp cloths below are backed with a black flannel.


     

    Remember they make great baby gifts!
    Some people gave me homemade burp diapers when I had my last baby.
    I am very thankful for them plus they are so cute!

Hats and snow

I loved dressing baby girls up and never thought it would be much fun dressing a baby boy.
But!
Boy, Oh Boy, have I had fun!
Maybe with three daughters I'm a little pinked out.
I'm loving all the greens and blues and yellows.
Oh!! and the hats!! I am loving all the hats.
These are a few of my favorite.



                                                                    
                                                                 
                                       




Abbi's first time in the snow


These are old pictures but I wanted Abbi to have proof that she did get outside
at least once that didn't require a mad dash to the car just to go grocery shopping.
Actually her sisters do take her outside if it's not too cold.

The poor girl could hardly bend but she loved the snow.

Hapy Belated Valentines Day

We had a great time on Valentines Day.
Trina was at our house for two weeks.
Her mom was having surgery on her wrists.

I raided Target's $1.00 section for some fun gifts.

Oh Trina I miss you.
You is so crazy and fun.
even with just one earring and gum sticking out of your mouth.

My eight going on sixteen year old.

Mom, don't I look tute?


Our Valentine meal was one of their favorite.
Stromboli, chocolate milk, cupcakes
I stopped at Ruby Tuesday and surprised Quintin with some tiramisu.

Teaching Abbi to love shoes

Abbi helped me go through summer shoes.
She just recently got interested in shoes.
She is at such a fun stage right now.
She learns something new everyday.
Good and bad!!
She doesn't talk much but if you tell her to do something you can tell she understands.
She does say Mom, Da, cup.
probably more but I don't understand.
She just started giving the best kisses.

Little man is 4 months old!

                                                  

                                                                 I got my 1st tooth
I weigh 14 lbs 9 oz.
I'm 24 in. long.
I'm growing a serious spare tire
I give the best smiles
I can sleep anywhere anytime
just like my dad
I like to jump, jump, jump in my jumper, take a nap
then jump, jump jump, then take a nap

Alright Lefty, you and me is busting out of here tonight!



Ok lady! Picture time is officially over!!



Pictures make me want to curl up in the corner and suck my thumb!



Maybe if I pretend I'm sleeping she'll go away.

(By the way, I do take him out after picture time to put him in a more comfy position.)



GAHHH! The torture continues!!

Abbi's first pig tails

I decided to go with a different hairstylefor her..
She didn't really appreciate the pulling and tugging.

and obviously the coupons on the table were more important then smiling for the camera.
So what's on sale today, Munchkin?

Grandma made towels with hoods for the younger granddaughters.
Those are the only towels they use now.

Grandma also made them a bunch of clothes for their "American Girl' dolls
Those cloths have also found their way on some bears and puppies too.

And can I just say thank you, Dad for this gift.
It took her a week or two to figure it out
but now she is popping all over the place.

Preston got a toy, shirt, diapers and wet ones.

Cadence with her gifts.

I like to look back.
This is Cadence and Preston three months ago when Preston was one day old.
Cadence, you better eat more or he will pass you up.


My dad and his son with their daughters and grandchildren.

That's all.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Time for bed before I fall asleep at the keyboard.
