Slacking again

I have been really bad about taking pictures and posting to my blog lately. I'm going to have to fix that later.

Cranky Inspired Shorts

I have been obsessed with Crankypants for a while. They are adorable, but since I knit I couldn't justify buying them. Besides the fact that Bry might have a fit if I spent that much money on a pair of custom pants for Liam.

Here is the Crankypants website. Her stuff is amazing! http://crankypantsknits.blogspot.com/

Here is my version. They are supposed to be shorts, but I made them a bit too long. Maybe they will still fit next year. They were really fun to knit up.

Computing and Swim Class.... only belong together in a blog post.

Liam is constantly trying to get his sticky little fingers on my computer. If you have ever seen my screen, you know that he frequently succeeds. Here he is checking his email in his underwear.....



Bryan has been taking Liam to swim classes at the local YMCA for the past couple of months. He had his last class on Saturday. He did really well, but lost steam about 15 minutes into class. We are going to try again in the spring. Here are some photos of his best moves......

Mikey-bone

Liam was watching American Idol with me yesterday and asked me for the mikey-bone (microphone). He likes to sing into a microphone that came with Bryan's rock band game. It is really cute. He is starting to sing along to songs now. It is the best part of riding in the car with him.

Here are a few pictures from today.

New Tote Bag

I love Amy Butler fabric, so I decided I needed to make myself a bag out of some. I never make anything for myself, so I really enjoyed doing this. It is a reversible bag and I used craft bond to make it more sturdy. There is also a layer of heavy interfacing on the bottom so it isn't flimsy. There are six pockets on the inside. I love how it came out.

Still Sick

Liam and I have been battling colds for about 10 days now. He hasn't been eating much and then wakes up in the middle of the night asking for food. On the nights he is up, I spend about 2 hours trying to get him back to sleep. All he wants is for me to rock him. The second I stop or change positions he wakes up and tells me, "Mommy rock". It is cute and cuddly for about 30 minutes, then I'm ready for bed. Also, we don't quite fit in the rocker the same as when he was a baby. He also doesn't want Bry at all during the night wakings, which is awesome for me.

Here are a couple of pictures from Liam's playdate with his cousin Tyler. The boys had a lot of fun playing together. They like riding bikes around the house.




I did manage to finish a pair of knit pants for him. They are knit in Purewool, warm ice colorway. He has lots of room to grow into them.

Kellie and Mike's wedding has come and gone.

I can't believe the wedding is already over. We had a wonderful time and Kellie and Mike looked very happy. I hope that they are enjoying their honeymoon. I don't have many pictures from the wedding because I was too busy chasing Liam, helping Kellie and trying to get myself together. I can't wait to see what the photographers captured.

Here are a few of the photos that I have....







Now that the wedding is over, I'm back to trying to keep up with things around the house and making Liam's summer wardrobe. I'm hoping to have a few pictures of things I've made soon. Stay tuned....
