Baby in knitted gifts

November 12, 2013

Remember my post about 5 knitted baby gift ideas? I made sure to get at least one picture of my new nephew wearing his knitted gifts and I think he’s the best model. Also the cutest.

I love his tiny face! I can’t wait to make him even more knitted gifts as he grows and I really can’t wait until I’m home next to cuddle with this cutie.

Early thanksgiving

While I was home the timing worked out really well to plan early Thanksgiving during my trip. Woo! In years past I’ve not only missed Thanksgiving but my family members would also have an early Thanksgiving where everyone would come up north to my dad’s house in the woods. It was nice spending time with everyone. It was also my new nephew’s first trip away from home. It was exciting having the new family member around. We all wanted to hold him and all he wanted to do was eat. Oh babies.

The company was great and all the food was wonderful. It was a lazy weekend full of laughter (maybe too much since I got a little reprimand from my sister for laughing too loud when she and the baby were trying to get a nap in-whoops-love you sister!) and eating-perfection.

Baby’s first walk

October 30, 2013

Most of the time at my sister’s was spent sitting in her living room but we did manage to get out a couple of times. We decided to take him for his first walk and to get our own legs moving but baby Lincoln was only cool with a short walk and then cried pretty loudly on the way back because he was hungry. That little cry is so heart breaking.

Vinny was also excited to get out of the house.

I love all the fall leaves everywhere. There are so many more in Michigan than Seattle. I grabbed a hand full and tossed them at the dog. I’m not sure he was amused.
