Spaghetti, Hawgs & Sewing

Well, we've finally gotten back into our regular routine after such a hectic holiday season. Blake is still growing like a weed and surprises us daily with her vocabulary. Now is definitely the time Mom & Dad need to be careful about what they say around her. Yesterday, Lauren got to visit with one of her good friends from college, so that was a nice break to our typical boring routine. Blake had her first solo run with spaghetti. Here's a pic of our spaghetti stained kiddo.Heather & Pete bought Blake an Arkansas wind suit and beanie for Christmas. We're not exactly big HAWG fans, but we can't really think of any other team in the SEC that we would actually cheer for...so she got all dressed up for their bowl game. It's likely she was their good luck charm ;)
Lauren has recently started to utilize those sewing skills her Grandma Brune taught her. Hence, the stockings that you already saw and now this...
...baby wipes holder, a travel changing pad and stylish burp rags.
The travel changing pad has two compartments. One for the baby wipes holder and the other for diapers...or whatever anyone would like to use them for. It has a quilted top for comfort and a vinyl bottom for the easy baby wipe clean-up that Mom desires if necessary. It folds up nicely into a little bundle AND, Lauren can make them in whatever color schemes she chooses...pretty fancy-schmancy huh?! She's not really sure yet, but Lauren may try to sell some of these for extra cash. They are pretty functional and would make great baby gifts. You can never have enough burp rags. Well, that's it for now. Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and with less snow and cold weather than we have!
