A Week of Apples

We ventured into solid foods this week starting with apples. She loved them, of course. Can you imagine eating the same thing for a whole week? Ugh.....

Maybe she liked them so much because I had a helper...

I forgot about the bib

Mad cause we are all out of apples :)

Gracie eating her "big girl apples"

BTW I am LOVING the baby food maker!!! It's so easy and fun! Next is green beans :)

"Alright mom, they're gonna get married"

That was Gracie's favorite quote throughout the entire wedding last night.... "Okay mom, time for B-B and Jeremy to get married." So cute.  Somehow I didn't get a picture of the happy couple together. Breann was a BEAUTIFUL bride!!

"Hey mom, you see that playhouse right there, I want to play in it"             
 (I'm sure that is what she was thinking)

She started here after I changed her diaper....

I made it, and I'm sooooo happy!!

Baking cookies with big sister.

Our matching aprons we got from G-maw and G-paw for Christmas.

Hot Pink Diva

Gracie got her new hot pink cast on today. Chuck took her and he said that she did really well and only cried a little when they had to do an x-ray on her arm.

"Mom, take a picture of my arm"..... she is such a ham!

After I signed it, Chuck asked Gracie if he could sign it and she said "how about Dora and Boots sign it?", so he signed Dora and Boots for her.

Relaxing after a long day...

Gracie goes back in a week to do more x-rays and make sure all is healing well. Dr. said so far everything is looking good.

"Sew" much fun

Ok, I know that title is a little corny, but I have a new obsession and it really is sooooo much fun!

It started with this....

The tools, in this cute little "notions" box. Yes, I know what notions are, I have had to learn a whole new vocabulary.

The pattern. I heard that a pillowcase dress was a very easy project, so I started with that. When I tried to read the directions for the pattern, I had no idea what anything meant, so I pretty much just "winged" it.

Here is Gracie trying it on before I sewed it together. I can remember feeling this same way when my mom and grandma would make me try on stuff when I was little, now I know how they felt.

*No child was hurt in the making of this dress :)

The finished project. I think it turned out pretty cute for my first one. I am pretty sure it will completely fall apart the first time I try to wash it.

Look at this picture, how did I get that cute little smile??? Jellybeans, of course.... I am not beneath bribing :)

Looks like it might be a bit too big.

I really enjoyed making this dress. Sewing is very therapeutic, it makes me take my mind off of everything else and focus on something creative for a little while. Can't wait for the next project.....any ideas??
