My boys

I have yet to get a “posed” picture of the boys together yet. Peyton is a moving target and rarely smiles at the camera. If he does, its a big CHEEESE smile! Just look at that mischief in his eyes! Watch out!

I am looking forward to dressing them a like this summer. I figure I will only have so long that I will be able to do that. SO I better get it in while I can.

Can’t wait for these guys to be best buddies!

7 months

Well we are over the hump in the first year! As I say every month, Ian is such a sweet adaptable baby. He is sleeping consistently through the night. He sleeps from 7pm-7:30am usually. I have never had a baby do this! His favorite activity is the Jumperoo! He spends lots of time in that thing. He is going to have quite the quads. if he keeps the bouncing up! We are still working on consistent naps. It still seems to be hit or miss. Partly I think this is my fault for not enforcing them like I did with the other two. He is very close to sitting up by himself. I have been working on strengthening his core. I’m sure by this time next month he will have it mastered. We are working on baby food and cereal. He is not overly interested in it. Baby food is NOT my favorite stage. I need to be more consistent in giving him baby food. I am still nursing/pumping for the time being. I mostly pump because he is too distracted by Faith and Peyton to get a good feeding in. I have a love hate relationship with my pump. We have spent COUNTLESS hours together over the past 4 years! ha!

Stats:

size 2 diapers

6 month clothes

10% in weight

16 lbs,

Eats every 3 hrs during the day.(bottle/nurse)

I am going to have to write on the back of each picture, because there is no way I’m going to be able to tell their baby pictures apart! Peyton has a little more baby chub on him then Faith and Ian did/do.

New year, new outfit

I decided that my baby girl needed a new outfit and I was in a sewing mood, so here's what happened!


Mom and I found a site that sells really cute thick white ruffle shirts for kids so I ordered one for Faith to make this shirt. Blanks boutique I had a lot of fun putting it together!





After I finished the outfit I happen to look in her closet and find these Gymboree leggings for this spring! They match perfectly!


Mom appliquéd a shirt to match the pants for valentines! Can't wait to get it!

I am also working on this outfit. I've finished the skirt, but not the top. Have I mentioned I love having a girl to sew for!

From junk to treasure

I ordered a new lamp for the living room a few weeks ago. When it came in, it was broken in half and the horse was broken off the stand. Instead of having another sent to me I decide to try and rework the one I had.
This is what is was suppose to look like......




This is what it looked like when I got it.




I went the pier one to try and find a new base for the lamp. I found a wooden votive holder that I was able to turn upside down and paint. Below is a picture of it.



Lee drilled holes in the base and re-wired the lamp.







I painted stripes on the base and superglued the horse to the base.




Here's the final product! New lamp, only $10. ( the base was $10) I also got three cute votives out of the deal.
