My New (ad)Venture

I am launching a new blog for the kids shirts and baby gifts I've been making. A few months ago, I got an embroidery machine to try my hand at appliqueing and monogramming. I figured, as much as I like to buy cute clothes for Britton, I could make them much more affordably and enjoy a creative outlet as well. It has been a lot of fun! So, without further ado, check out ... www.kidstitches.blogspot.com

Here are few things I've done...

What to Wear

Here are a few of Britton's favorite "wearing" things, of late.


Britton loves wearing his Daddy's shoes. Or his own shoes. Or trying to chew on my shoes. (Gross, I know. I think he only does it because I overreact every time I catch him doing it.) He does like wearing his baby Keens, too, and tries to put them on all by himself.


Wearing his sunglasses.


Wearing a winter coat from last year (it's a 9 month coat that still fits!). It is super soft and he loves to walk around with the hood up.

Fun times, as always with this little one, around here. I will post pictures soon of his new playroom downstairs!

Britton's First Haircut

Britton's hair has been a bit unruly lately. For example...


But the precious little curls all over the back of his head have made us reluctant to cut his hair. But we finally decided we had to do something about the front, so we took him to get it cut.

Before the stylist could get to us, we had plenty of time to ...

Read books.


Play chase.


Lay down in the middle of the floor.

When the finalist saw us, he kept saying "She is so cute. Look at her! She is adorable." ;o) Yep, that's why we're here.

Finally, it was time. I snapped pictures and tried to hide my horror as I watched him take a big chunk out of Britton's bangs.


But B had no clue what was going on. Thankfully, the whole thing only lasted about two minutes.


All over and rubbing the hair out of his eyes.


Getting the hair blown off.

After a few days to get used to it, I think it will end up looking pretty good and be less mullett-y as the days go on!



(Note: It isn't as mullett-y in real life as it looks in this picture!)

Makes My Monday

I realized I totally forgot to put a Makes My Monday post up last Monday after I declared I would be doing it as a regular 'feature.' Oops.

Anyway, knowing that Fall is almost here totally Makes My Monday ...

The other day we tried on some Fall/Winter clothes that we have to see what fit. Here is Britton sporting hand-me-downs from his cousin Will and a pumpkin shirt I made for him. It wont be long ... I can already smell the Pumpkin Spice candle burning!

The Tickle Monster

Secretly (or not so secretly) he loves it!

A Dirt Road.

The cabin in Mentone had a lot of dirt roads for exploring.


And this little guy loved exploring.

Talking Heads

See for yourself what fun we had ...
