Crafts and Mobiles


Our week has been filled with all sorts of crafts. I've been making headbands and mom has been sewing her heart out. She has already made my wonderful nursing cover and is now working on a nursing dress! I'm so excited. I had no idea that anyone made nursing clothes...how cool. Now I can wear a dress to church and not have to pump a bottle for Ruth to drink. I still don't get how it's gonna work but something about a magical lifting up flap.

As I mentioned a few days ago, we have found out that Ruth loves mobiles. This morning mom and I went over to Tigard so mom could take Megan and Brynn to the doctor. While they were gone Ruth and I hung out at Meg and Joe's apartment. (Brynn had to ride to the doctor in Ruth's carseat because Joe forgot to take out Brynn's carseat before he left for school at Pacific University.) As you can see from the photo, Ruth LOVED the mobile. After Megan and mom got back we went to Deseret Book looking for dad's birthday present...then we had lunch at the teriyaki place next door! YUM! Another interesting point from the day is that Ruth fell asleep at noon and slept to 3:30 when I fed her. After her late lunch I caught her sleeping on my dad's shoulder! We struggled to keep her awake all afternoon and evening, and when I say struggle I mean we were completely unsuccessful. It is now 10:15 and she is wide awake, cooing and not showing the slightest sign of sleepiness. The nice thing about her sleepiness is that I've finally found some time to do some reading. Brad got me "Frankenstein" for Christmas and it is so good, not the monster story like the movies show.

Ruth woke up in time for our yummy artichoke/chicken pizza dinner after which she promptly blew out her pants! That's always fun. Then she was kind enough to pose for a picture with mom...you can tell she was still waking up.
