Getting Crafty

Selah is growing so fast! She's nearly two months old already! I like to say she's growing on me, too. I love her just a little more each day and as she gets more and more interactive, that's not hard to do. She is developing quite a personality, definitely knows what she wants and when and is not afraid to express herself. When we hang out with our friends' babies, it becomes clear that she is quite vocal and a little more rambunctious than most.

She is going through a diaper hating phase right now. She will be screaming and seemingly inconsolable, then we take her diaper off and she is instantly cooing and smiling. I have started putting a plastic garbage bag and towel under her so she can hang out diaper-free. If she pees or poops on the towel, it really pisses her off and she lets me know about it.




Since Reese left, I have been in a total sewing mood. I take full advantage of nap time and feel quite productive. Here are my latest projects...

I cut apart an old maternity skirt that was way too big and made a smaller and much cuter skirt out of the fabric.

I had enough fabric left over to make a little dress for Selah. I promise we won't wear them at the same time!!

I made a pattern for really really fast and easy baby pants. They take one fat quarter of fabric (about $2.00 worth) and an hour to make. And super cute to boot! I wanted some light weight pants to protect her from the sun while we are outside all summer.

Here they are in red polka dots.
