4 teeth and 7 1/2 Months!!!

7 months and tons of fun!

Halle now has three teeth and the  fourth will be here anyday!



Thinking....about go after a toy.

Yup! I can get it Mom!

She had helping getting up...but likes to stand by herself.

Not sure how she got into that position!

Never a dull moment...

Enjoying a nectarine...

 

Watching Mommy cook dinner....I told her ladies don't sit like that and she just laughed...

Tummy time with "Dave" the frog...

The 5 year project is complete!

This is the first quilt I ever started...5 years ago! I did EVERYTHING wrong too! I had NO idea how to quilt when I started this, I am really not sure what I was thinking taking on a full bed size quilt as my first project.

After taking a few quilting classes I pulled it out again last year and completed sewing the top. I had sooo many problems when I began quilting it that I was going to toss the uncompleted mess after moving it from Oregon, Utah, Colorado and now to California but Dereck kept asking me to finish it anyway so I finally did...its far from perfect but it's finished! I learned a lot! And now I get to start another! :) Yay!

Machine quilting....that was the hardest part because you have to deal with so much bulk and you get a lot of "drag" from the weight while trying to quilt it.

Road Trip!

Halle and I went on a road trip to Santa Barbara with Grandma Lawrence last week...We had a wonderful time, Halle was a super traveler and I can't even begin to count the number of times I sang "the wheels on the bus go round and round" to Halle.

During the trip Halle discovered her tongue (sticking it out constantly) and her ear (grabbing it all the time) and got a lot more stable sitting up all by herself. And started eating banana I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

We had a wonderful time....my Mom was very patient traveling with both of us.

More Recycled Quilted Bibs!

These bibs were made of old shirts!

I also "pieced" the back of the bibs, just for fun!

So after making a total of 8 bibs of this style and 6 of another style....I think I'll take a break for two reasons. 1. I have run out of babies to send them too. 2. Halle is rapidly growing out of her diapers and I need to start sewing the next size up!
