Staying Cool

This baby loves the water!  She even tried to "kiss" the water squirting from the little octopus, obviously that didn't turn out too well.

Andy was commenting that summer is over so why are there still commercials for summer things, but as we Valley people know, we probably have quite a few more weeks of summer weather for playing outside in the water during the afternoon.

She kept trying to "drink" from this plastic cup but would get overwhelmed with water pouring on her face.  Then she'd try it again.

So fun. She would love to just hang out in the water all day.

She's getting better at crawling and she gets so excited to show off her skills.  She is also learning to pull up on things and loves to hold our fingers to walk around the house.

That's about the end!

Feeling Crafty

My friend Danette's baby shower is tomorrow and I've been meaning to make a gift for her so I finally whipped it together tonight:

Starting with some ribbon & an antique pillowcase...

...I made a dress for baby Emma! (Now I just have to make one for Annaliese! Yikes!)



Then I folded and tied up a cloth placemat...

...into a cute little holder...

...for a diaper change on the go! (The placemat is now a changing pad!)

Mu friend Linda Zalamea's friend's blog (whom I don't know) inspired me to make these "re-creations."  Do you ever go down those rabbit holes of friend's friend's friend's blogs?  It is endless...

Cheese

Annaliese learned how to feed herself cheese yesterday and she loves it!


What a big girl!


Well, she tried to eat most of it anyway!
