some recent projects

The "Tie Onesie" I wanted to buy one of these on Etsy. But I realized I had all the stuff to make one... So here you have it. It turned out alright. I would rather have done stripes or argyle or something, But didn't have any of that kind of fabric. If you are interested click HERE for the tutorial.

I am a little bias but pretty sure he was the cutest little boy at church today!

Temple block- While looking for things to do for Super Saturday projects I came across these. Loved them. So I bought some and made a few. I also ended up teaching this class yesterday at our Super Saturday. And if you are interested in this one click HERE to buy the kit.

Love These

So the ones I ordered are cropped and zoomed in better and "enhanced" as they called it with softer edges. He did so great getting his pictures taken. I was so worried because you never know how a 6 week old is going to behave. But he did great. And I think they turned out really well.. so of course I spent way more money then I should have.

Halloween

Do they look alike?

I think Cooper looks a little more like Emma than Dottie but they all have similar features.

Emma - 1 month

Dottie - 2 months

Cooper - 1 month

snuggles

The girls lovin on their brother!

baby ticker

I guess it's time to take the baby ticker off!
Today was the day (Oct. 8th)... don't know if I could have made it to today. So glad he came 11 days early!
We are slowly adjusting to a new baby around here. Dottie has had some (need more mommy time) issues! But she is doing better. And I am doing fine.. just very tired and very emotional. But I guess that is pretty normal with a new baby!


We are glad Grandma Erickson could come up for a quick visit!

Looking very studious

In front of the hospital. Since we went in at 4 in the morning, we had to walk to the other end of the hospital to the ER entrance, then walk all the way back to the birthing center.







Big sisters. They are very happy to have a little baby brother.
