It's time to MOVE...!

Kaiden is getting SO mobile! He's been rolling both ways for some time now, but he's now scooting all over the place, pulling himself up, and is VERY close to crawling! He's gets into position, but can't quite figure out how to move his legs. It won't be long, and I'm sure it will be quite interesting trying to keep up with him! It's quite amusing trying to get a clean prefold on him too!

We've had a week of great weather so far, it's been wonderful! It was 81 on Monday, and in the 60s all week. Friday we're supposed to get showers, but then it's nice again. It feels so great to be able to get yard work done. About half the yard is raked up, and we're hopefully doing another burn tonight to get rid of some more brush. Next on the agenda, deciding what we're going to do about planting grass! I'd love to get some plugs, but we may wind up having to do just a section at a time due to the cost. I just want an area where I can feel safe letting Kaiden play on the ground!

Here are a few more recent pics of K. He's already 22 pounds, and he's not even 9 months old yet! Makes me SO glad I have my Mei Tei, I can wear him effortlessly, it feels like nothing!

Almost there!


Mohawk boy!





He *loves* digging in the dirt!



Moo!

Bunch of FO's

Finally have a bunch of finished objects for you. Yay!

First up is one of two sets I made for my cousin's babyshower this weekend. Hope she likes them! The hat is from the Umbilical Cord Hat pattern in the SnB (Stitch N Bitch) book I received for Christmas - Thanks Em! The slippers are from the LTK Stripey Slippers pattern. Both are knit in Bernat Softee Chunky in the Nature's Way colorway.

Next is another pair of slippers for the babyshower. Same pattern and yarn as above, the colorway is Denim Ombre. A matching hat is on the needles, should be finished tomorrow.

This is one I finished at least a week ago, but, I'm loving it. My Gram bought a bunch of flat diapers when I was pg, which haven't gotten much use. This was my "experiment" dipe, and it worked amazingly well! All I did was back the flat with a piece of flannel. It isn't much thicker, and works so much better than it did before. These are my new love! Trim, very absorbent, breathable, soft, and of course cute! Here it is in action...

Last but not least is my very first Mei Tei! I need to shorten the waist straps, and add shoulder padding, but otherwise it's done. I made it using the Mae Mei Tei pattern, and I'm loving the idea of interchangeable panels. This was a relatively easy pattern to use, and I really like the results. I made mine with padded waist straps, and will be adding padding to the shoulders as well. The angle on the shoulder straps seem just right, and the straps themselves are neither thin nor too wide for me. I do plan on making the body a little taller, but that's really the only thing I'd change!

It is made of a nice, soft corduroy, and has interchangeable panels. I only have one made right now (shown), but have a stack of fabric waiting to be made into more. Even better than interchangeable panels, it's something DF will wear! YAY! I may turn him crunchy yet! ;)
