still in a valentine's state of mind

happy valentine's day!

V is for Valentine!

 

 

Rose was very happy to model some favorite pink things

And a new outfit from Grammie. Thanks, Grammie!

And the video of her telling you that herself will be forthcoming...

feeding time just got a lot more fun

A shiny, red high chair followed us home from IKEA last weekend and Baby is happy with her upgraded perch at mealtime.

Of course, now that we've started to get to know sweet potatoes, we begin like this

And quite quickly progress to this

Hmmm, what's on the menu for tomorrow?

trying something new

With Sister in town, it was time to find a quick project that could be picked up here and there in the midst of baby/toddler wrangling. I had learned to crochet about 10 years ago, but haven't picked up a hook since the Afghan That Shall Perhaps Be Finished (it has been unpacked from its bag, Mom, so maybe it will get stitched together yet this winter?), which was also started and nearly finished and then abandoned 10 years ago. Amigurumi seemed like the perfect choice, especially once cute patterns were found and Sister learned the basics of crochet. We had several enjoyable and relaxing evenings working away after the babes were in bed.

From Owlishly's Huevitos pattern (my Ravelry link)

From the very fun book Amigurumi Two that is full of cute projects, one of the Sweet Peas (Ravelry)

vintage duds

When going through the family baby clothes last summer, these overalls seemed huge. Tried them on for the first time today, and it's a good thing because she has almost outgrown them already! She seems happy enough with her outfit, though.

I'm taking photos every month of Baby in her carseat to see how she grows
