The Sweater

Don't worry, if there aren't enough pictures today, I have more. A lot more. I used baby bambool to make this sweater. Translate: softest yarn ever.







My sweater makes Jack happy.

Exciting!

This is a very exciting day for me. In terms of yarn, this is the most exciting knitting day I have ever had. (I know you're trying to remember which knitting day was your most exciting) I finished my first article of clothing!

I started a sweater vest for Jackson before Easter, as in 5 months ago, and I finished it today! Just in time for him to wear it twice before he grows out of it.

He is sleeping right now, so he can't model and I was just too excited to not share with someone. We will have a photo shoot this weekend and I will post an obnoxious amount of photos then.

(Don't look close, just admire from afar)

9 Months

Jack turned 9 months yesterday. Here are his stats: He has one tooth, eats everything we eat ( or tries to), and still sleeps at 6:30 pm. He has started walking along with his push rider and pulls himself up on everything. He can pull himself up on the wall by using this spiderman technique. He is a fast crawler. I realize this is totally bragging and indulgent on my part, but what are blogs for other than to praise our kids/signifigant others, etc.??
Here is another indulgent video just for the grandmas and aunts.

Picky clarification

In my earlier post, Picky?, I stated that I already had two picky eaters and worried about a third one. I just wanted to clarify that the two picky eaters are Lilly and Jim and that I am worried about Jack being the third picky eater. (No third baby on the way)

Garden

Jim's garden has been very successful this year. We have had radishes, sugar peas, zucchini, cucumbers, green peppers, and now tomatoes. I also have a picture from the mystery plant, which is now indeed a pumpkin plant. We are all very excited about the surprise pumpkin growing from the compost.

Picture update

On Saturday we went to a party with Jim's group of high school friends. It was a lot of fun, he has really good friends. On the way to the party we stopped at Rickets Glenn which is a park of waterfalls. It was gorgeous. We are going to go back soon so we can check out all the waterfalls.

Sunday we went to an old fashioned hymn sing down at the river as part of our town festival. It was great. We were the youngest people by a good 30 years, which made me kind of sad. In 20-30 years when all those people are gone, who will go to the hymn sing??

This morning we went to the splash park and Lilly had a blast. She always loves the water and runs constantly, I couldn't get the child to stand still for a picture, she was too busy having fun!

Picky?

I already have two picky eaters on my hand and I am worried about a third.
