I know she's petite, but come on!



Well, here's sundress #2.  I used the newborn size this time.  It still looks big to me, but we'll see.  It's too cold for sundresses today anyway.

Finally

Leah is 7 months old and has still been swaddled to sleep.  She is so happy go lucky, I think she needed her arms pinned down so she would sleep instead of play in her crib.  Several nights last week she would pull one or both arms out by morning so last night we didn't swaddle her at all.

It took her a little longer to fall asleep but she did and slept all night.  Yeah!  She's napping now too.  Finally!

Momma's project




I made this sun dress for Leah today.  Turned out cute I think but it is huge!  I used the size that fit her measurements.  the only smaller size is "newborn."  I haven't tried it on her yet.  She may have to wait until next summer to wear it.
The next project: summer PJ's for Rhett.  I can't bring myself to pay $9 for a pair of shorts and a tee at Wal-Mart.

Bath time fun


That's some crazy bed head!

The kids are at Papa and GG's!

Rhett and Leah are spending the weekend at Papa and GG's!  I met my folks in Herrington yesterday evening and we swapped cars.  Rhett couldn't get rid of me fast enough!  When I was trying to say goodbye to him in his car seat, he was pushing me out the door.
I talked to Papa after lunch and both kids were down for naps.  Leah is pretty congested so she didn't sleep real well last night.  When she's awake, she's happy as a lark.  Rhett got to play with cousin Will and go for a walk in the wagon.  The neighbors have their grandsons visiting too, so all the boys played together.
Ben and I slept in until 10:00!  Ahh...  I have been busy working in the kids room.  I put up the Uppercase Living decals and Rhett's name that Aunt Cindy made him for his birthday.   

Grandma Brenda gave Rhett some cowboy accessories from Papa Rixey's room when he was a boy.  So that got hung up too.

I am still looking for a flower to attach to the cowgirl hat by Leah's bed.
