8 Months

Really?!?!?! My baby girl is 8 months old. We're loving her emerging personality. This month, Anna:

• Continues to roll tummy to back
• Squirms around on her back trying to reach toys, but doesn't roll yet.
• Traveled to Nauvoo for a few days
• Loves oatmeal and fruit for breakfast
• Giggles when tickled
• Grins when daddy gets home
• Has mastered picking up cheerios and eating them.
• Enjoys being around little kids and squeals with delight when she gets to play with them.

Now, for some pics!

Sticking out your tongue is silly!

Easter Dress for Anna

I found a sew-along for an adorable dress at this blog and decided I could make Anna's Easter dress for way less than I could buy one of the same quality. So, here are my spoils:

Front of dress

back of dress (invisible zipper closure) also, check out the AMAZING lining up of the contrasting fabrics.

Sleeve and contrast detail. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to sew the sleeve trim on with red thread, but no way am I going back to fix it! (okay, maybe I will. It might bug me that much)

Soooo, that's that for now. I'll be sure to take some cute pictures of Anna wearing it and post for your pleasure.
