I know I promised them yesterday. But here are some new pics finally. Haven't been doing much here. Too COLD!! Tess turned 11 months last week. Can't believe it is almost her birthday. She is pulling up and climbing on everything. Will walk pushing something occasionally but usually she prefers to crawl. Greta doesn't allow me to take her picture often. Fortunately Tess doesn't run from the camera yet. Greta is loving all her new things she got for Christmas. She has a name for all her dolls and her new doll is "Christmas baby." We discovered this week that she can count. She had been saying 1,2,1,2,1,2 when she counted but all of a sudden she counted to 8 while we were reading books the other day. She is so proud of herself.

I promise to be better. Check back soon.

Greta loves her playdough from her godparents. Thanks Tait and Katie. We play with it almost every morning during Tess's nap.

Greta likes to crawl into the crib with Tess. She steals pacifiers and pretends to be a baby.

Sorry

I have been slacking. Promise to update later today but I hear Tess up from her nap.

Sewing...

I bought a sewing machine with my birthday money and have been sewing a few things. It is fun!! These are some fleece pants I made Greta. You can wear fleece over a cloth diaper at night and it holds in the wetness but breaths better than the "plastic" covers. I bought this remnant fleece to practice on before buying the nice thick fleece for the real thing. My first attempt was a success.

Here is the link if you would like to make some yourself.

Sugar cut out cookies

We made some sugar cookies. Greta had fun cutting them out and then decorating with sprinkles. She enjoyed eating the sprinkles also and Tess loved finding stray ones on the floor.

New Fluffy Mail

In the cloth diapering world, a baby wearing cloth diapers has a fluffy butt. And when you get cloth diapers in the mail, it is fluffy mail. A lady on etsy.com made this diaper for Tess. It is beautiful! The eagle, globe and anchor is embroidered on and I sent her a name tape from Grant's old uniforms. I love it!!!

No more pics mom...

Fun in the snow

We got some snow on Tuesday. Greta and I went out during Tess's morning nap and had some fun until Greta's hands got very cold. She insisted on taking off her mittens to eat the snow. And thanks again to my sister Sue for the super cute hat she knit.
