flowers and bows...

Good Morning!  Gwennie is still acting like herself...but still sounding congested and coughing a lot.  Not fully sleeping through the night yet either.  While she napped/played with Daddy I was making some bows and flowers yesterday...here they are...

These are called Yo-yo's...I think I will put some buttons in the middle or something...

One for Christmas and one for fall

The rest...one is from Halloween.  I hadn't glued it together yet. 

I think my next flower I will try is a rosette...we'll see how that goes.  I'm also knitting a hat for her...that's taking awhile.  I had to relearn how to knit. :-D

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Ok...after a bit of a fussy first thanksgiving...we are posting the 9 month pictures and a thanksgiving one too!  Gwennie woke up with a cold yesterday...runny nose and cough.  Poor girl.  We tried some table food...but she would just gag and not eat it.  I think the texture is not something she likes/is ready  for yet.  Maybe she will be ready by Christmas.  She's feeling better today and more like herself!  I'm also posting a picture of the hair clip I made to match her turkey shirt!  Enjoy!

Update...way past due...

Sorry that I've been MIA on this blog.  Busy busy busy these days.  Gwennie is growing like a weed.  She's 9 months today...pictures will be posted later today.  At her doctor's appointment she weighed 16.1lbs and was 27in long.  She's petite, but the doctor says that she's making good gains for her percentile.  She is also ahead in communication and fine motor skills.  She needs to work on her gross motor...standing.  She likes to stand on her tip-toes.  We need to work with her on standing flat-footed.  She is not crawling yet, but she is rolling and scooting all over the place.  She says "Dada" and tries to say Bella, but it sounds a lot like "Dada."  No "Mama" yet.  Here are some little projects that I've been working on to get ready for Gwennie's First Turkey Day! (Doctor also said that Gwennie can have table food too!  So excited!  Turkey and mashed potatoes for her!!!)  There will also be pictures later of the new bows that I will make for her today too...keeping busy...I seem to have a creative streak at the moment.  Not a usual thing for me.  :-D

Turkey Cookies Gwennie and I made for tomorrow!

My first try at a turkey shirt for Gwennie!
