I've Been Busy!

My Mom, Sister and Niece came up from Florida for a visit. Since I don't have a girl......I thought it would be fun to make some stuff for Ayla.

I am most proud of this outfit.  I had never made pants before.  Luckily my Mom had....and she was my supervisor.  We basically made them without a pattern and I thought they turned out really cute!

This is Nolen's new smile.  I promise, he has eyes in there somewhere.  He even has dimples under his eyes!

Gavin.....so grown up!

Miss Ayla in her new outfit!  Pretty cute if I do say so myself.

We had a great time.  Eric was out of town for his new business venture, Bone Rush.  So, it was just us girls and all the kids.  We didn't do a lot but had fun just hanging out and laughing.  I really miss my family and it is so nice when I get to see them.

I'm pretty sure this guy LOVED all the attention he got.  I think he was even more spoiled after they left than he was before.

Nanu and Cohen.

 Mommy and Cohen....could he be any cuter?  No, he could not.

Krista and I got feather extensions....in case you are wondering what is in my hair. Hers are turquoise....because she is more funky! Right Krista?

Happy 3 Month Birthday Cohen!

Yesterday was Cohen's 3 month birthday!  Wow....I need him to not grow so fast.

I had a much harder time getting cute pictures of him this time.  He kept falling over.....and would not stop looking at his feet.

Cohen wears a size 2 diaper and size 3-6 month clothes. 

He doesn't go to the Doctor at 3 months so I am not sure exactly how much he weighs....but I am guessing that it is around 14 lbs.

He seems really long to me.  Some of his 3-6 month clothes are short on his legs.  Maybe he will have my long legs and Eric's long torso and be super tall!

He is still pretty content and happy most of the time.  Especially if you are giving him attention.  He LOVES to be talked to.

He is still sleeping through the night!  YAY!  I was so worried that the whole RSV thing would totally mess his sleep habits up but he had no problems.

I have been wanting to make Cohen another blanket for a while.....and just have not had time.  I finally just let the house be a big mess and made it today.  I LOVE how it turned out.

Happy 3 month birthday Cohen!

Mommy loves you!

Finally getting the hang of this sewing thing!!

I think I really like it! This is a gift I made for someone. I seem to be getting a little faster too. This totally made me realize that I spent waaaayyy too much money on burp cloths and blankets--not next time, I will be making everything!! Live and learn, right?

Our visit from Mom, Krista and Ayla!

Mom, Krista and Ayla came up for a visit this past weekend. Ayla and the boys LOVE each other. Let me put it this way...Ayla tried to make out with Gavin after lunch on Sunday (after eating pizza, ice cream, etc.) and he broke out. I'm talking like full on....red as a beet, breathing treatment, coughing--the whole thing (severely allergic to milk). Nolen is still asking where Ayla is....they just love each other--it makes me so happy.
Nolen thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on Sunday. We went to a local restaurant where the kids lunch includes desert and Nolen got a "baby bellini". This kid LOVES food (seriously--I don't think he knows when he's full, he will eat til he throws up). Anyways....he really enjoyed his desert and so did Ayla. He was so cute eating his little cookie thing and dipping it in his bellini...he just couldn't get enough.

We didn't do a whole lot other than go to our awesome Church on Sunday. Oh yeah, and I took on a project of making a window panel for Ayla's room. Let's just say that I got in a little over my head. I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out but I "struggled" with my bobbin and broke like 3 needles. BUT, after 6 hours of pulling my hair out (and some assistance from good ole Mom) I finally finished....check it out!!!

So....that means I have completed 2 projects now--next is a bed skirt and maybe even a duvet cover for our bed.....

Here is a pic of my other project (side light panels for my door).
