Cards

 This card is for my friend Judy's birthday on the 9th.  I used purple as the theme and had 4 papers.  I created my own J and adhered it with 3d tape.  I used some flowers to add a feminine touch.

 These are thank yous for ladies at my work.  The three that are the same are for my co-workers in my department and the other one was for a different friend.  I love this polka dot paper and will need to look for more!  They are just the 2"x3" little cards.  I used some cream organdy ribbon and added some red flowers that I had in my stash.

This card is for our niece who had her 10th birthday on Tuesday.  I used the butterfly paper to get the colors and then added the 5 other papers to make the card.  I used some pink grossgrain ribbon and then a letter M for her name.

Two for Tuesday

Nathan's been trying to (okay, you got me, I've been trying to get him to) sit up. We practice in the morning before going to daycare when he's a little more alert.

 Yesterday, he fell over on his belly and then wasn't sure what to think.

Today, I helped him sit up and he did it on his own for 3-5 seconds.  He's not so sure why I'm excited for him, but he's trying!

Something new today is that he was clingy at daycare this morning.  He wanted me to hold him -- which normally Barry is the one to pass him off -- and then when I gave him to Mrs. Jenny Lee, he wanted to come back to me.  Hope this isn't the beginning of the clingy stage.

Personality? For sure!

Nathan has increasingly gotten more and more vocal -- I think it makes him happy to see how loud he can get!  He loves to laugh and play with his daddy, too.

He's 6 months old today and is sure showing us that he's got some spunk!  We love our baby!

A new trick

Nathan had a grand old time in his exer-saucer this weekend.  There is a jumpy chair at daycare that he loves and so I think he thought that this was the same thing.  What a delight he took in jumping in this!  It was quite noisy too so that made it even better! :)

Lazy Day Saturday

Awwwww! 

Nathan woke up at 5:45am on Saturday and my great husband got up with him so that I could sleep longer.  Of course, by the time I got up -- around 8am, this is what I found!

It's Friday!!!!

The poor thing is struggling with naps and struggling with teething, but he'll give you a smile, none-the-less.  We're hoping to get caught up on sleep that he's behind on and get some tools for pain relief so that our little guy can be all he needs to be.

Happy Friday!

Growing!

I wanted to show how long Nathan was getting, but it didn't show too well.  Since he was 26 inches at 4 months, I know he's longer than that, but I had a hard time determining it.  It looked over 27, but he was squirmy (a surprise, I know!).

  I guess we'll know for sure when we go for his 6 month appointment next week.

 Isn't he so cute?!

"No, Momma, I want to hold the camera!"
