A little of our latest happenings

We did pony tails without bangs. I think I prefer them with bangs. Her hair is getting so long now!
She only takes one nap a day now and it is right after lunch. Unfortunately this time she didn't make it. She fell asleep while she was eating lunch and even stayed asleep while I changed her diaper!

She loves to try to put on our shoes. She has a hard time with mine (because my shoes are barely bigger than hers:) but does well with Cole's.






Crafts
I've been making a few crafts lately. I really love doing them and am so glad Cole supports me by letting me do them. I wish I came up with the ideas on my own but usually I get them from craft sites or friends.
I made this Valentine wreath. I got the general idea from other craft blogs but did it a little different. It took forever to make all the flowers! I used all leftover supplies and am glad it turned out. Cole cut the foam for me from scraps he had.




I made my Aunts these for their birthdays. I got the idea from somewhatsimple.blogspot.com My Aunts are always so good to remember me on my special occasions and I wanted to finally do something for them. I hope they like them!












Of course I made another bib! It is actually one of my favorites. I found myself getting extra frustrated when Lexi made a mess eating because I didn't want her to ruin it. Sometimes it is hard to remember bibs aren't just for fashion purposes:)
















I made this crayon holder for Lexi because she tore the box. I really like the fabric I used for it. She is starting to really like to color. I think I got the idea for this from make it and love it.

Little Lexi...what a doll. And you have made such cute things, I need to use some of your ideas, like the bib and crayon holder. I'm glad you are able to find time to do something you enjoy while also making fun things others can enjoy too!
