My Projects

Since we found out that we are having a girl, I have decided to start making some things for Graysen. I started out by making her a baby blanket that matches the bedding set we got for her room. I also wanted to make her a blanket to use in her carseat, swing and her glider. I found some really cute fleece on sale, so I made the smaller blanket from that material.

We are also going to be cloth diapering her almost right from the start. I have a couple of patterns to sew diapers so I decided to go ahead and make some diapers. So far I have a one size pocket fitted diaper that should fit her from the newborn stage through potty training and I made a fitted diaper that should fit her from 8-15lbs. After I see how these diapers work and which one I like better, I will sew more cute diapers.

I also have plans to make her some babylegs. I just need to find some cute socks to use and see how big she is. And I am sure that I will want to make many other cute, girly things for her as she gets bigger.

2 Years Old

Wow. I still can't believe that Logan just turned 2 years old. I seriously don't know where the last two years went. He has grown and changed so much and is now a very active toddler. We had a birthday party for him on Saturday and he had a great time running around with all the older boys and playing on the trampoline. By the time we cut his cake, he was falling asleep at the table trying to eat it. As fast as the time has passed, I am really looking forward to the coming year and seeing Logan become a big brother. He already loves to kiss my belly and blow raspberries on it. I am sure we are going to have some jealousy issues to work through since as much as we talk about the baby, I'm not sure really sure he understands the true impact of what is about to happen.

We have his 2 year old check-up on Thursday and I will be sure to add his growth stats once his appointment is done. We have a couple of things that we need to bring up at this appointment including starting a multivitamin since he isn't eating very well, when to start taking him to see the dentist and we are also starting to get concerned about his lack of verbal communication. We know that his hearing is fine and that he understands what we are saying, but he still isn't talking very much. We have definately seen some improvement in the last month or so, but we want to be proactive with this and get him going in the right direction sooner rather than later.
