Wordless Wednesday - Summer is still here!

Embrace the Mistakes...

This past Saturday I started taking Knitting classes at a local yarn shop :) it's something I have wanted to do for a while now so I'm really excited!

The first class went really well I think, especially since I am the only one in class who has never knit before in her life. I have crocheted though (but never finished a project...I think I have started about 20 or so lol) so I apparently hold the yarn weird but it's working for me so I am going to go with it.

My first project is a simple garter stitch scarf and it's about a third of the way done right now and no where near perfect...I was doing pretty good with it in class, but decided to take it off, rip it out and start all over for practice, it did this again when I got home and it was coming out TERRIBLE! For a while I just kept casting on doing a few rows deciding it wasn't perfect, ripping out and starting again...after a while the yarn just got so icky I had to cut off and start anew. That's when I just decided that it's my first project, it's NOT going to be PERFECT so I decided to just embrace those imperfections so I can look back on this project later and see just how far I came...

My goal for now is to actually finish this project and any other ones that we decide to do in class (I think we are starting a ribbed scarf next week) and get doll blankets made for the bunk beds I am refinishing for the Little Miss for Christmas!

Friday Firsts

Thought we were done with Friday firsts huh? Not by a long shot :)

Friday First for the Littlest Miss...

First time having "food" now rice cereal barely constitutes as solids, *but* it is something more than just plain formula :) and she was eating it off a spoon so it was fun!

and the results? Well, she loved it! Very much unlike her sister who hated it with a passion :) can't wait to start moving on to some more interesting items :)

We have a friday first for the little miss, but no pics until I can get them off of my mom's camera (since that was the only one available to grab!) so I'll just wait till then to post it :)

Littlest Miss turns 4 Months!

The littlest miss has turned 4 months already! So hard to believe...

Here are the stats

Height - 26 inches ~ 95th Percentile

Weight 13 lbs 15 ounces ~ 50th Percentile

She is one tall skinny little girl :) I see lots of skirts in leggings in her future. She is doing perfect (though she is loosing her hair and becoming a little baldy like her sister was), she is our laid back sleepy little baby. She is reaching for things, following noises, rolling up onto her side (she made it all the way over once, but not again), and babbling in her own cute little language. She even gives us a giggle every once in a while. She is hitting all her milestones right on the mark.

At the Dr. Apt we got the go ahead to start with solid foods so I picked up some rice on the way home...let the fun begin!
