Another custom stegosaurus beanie! This time for my good friend Roxy’s little dude!
Sam was doing his best dinosaur impression! I think it was pretty good.
I absolutely love knitting up these dinosaur hats. They are so fun and satisfying to knit up. They’re one of my absolute favorites! I am pretty sure I am going to need one for Sam for this fall. He definitely needs one!
Some custom sweat bands. There’s no limit to what people want to order, I guess.
Uh…forgive the angry face? Blame it on pregnancy hormones, I guess.
In other news, today Sam learned how to say “Uh oh”. So he throws his cup off his highchair and looks at me, grins and says “Uh oh!” and then yells for his dad to come pick it up. Smart kid. He also, very clearly, after dinner said “All done!” We were impressed.
Time for Samuel’s monthly pictures! Here’s a link to Month 1, and Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6 ,Month 7 , Month 8 and Month 9 in case you missed them! And here is a link to a page that I’ll be updating every month with all of the pictures together, so you can see them side by side.

This has been a funny month. Sam has gotten four teeth! His bottom two middle ones, and his top two outer teeth. He looks like a little vampire! It’s pretty hilarious. We saw the endocrinologist and she confirmed that nothing was wrong with Sam, at least metabolically. However, his weight loss does seem to be due to his GERD. We are still trying to get approval from insurance to try a different medication, hopefully that will make a difference, however he has gained two pounds this month.(Up to just over 16lbs!) TWO POUNDS! That’s a huge, huge, huge improvement! He is now officially on the charts, in the 2nd percentile. He has also taken a few unassisted steps! He’s cruising around furniture constantly, he never likes to sit still and really loves to be “walking” holding onto my fingers. His personality is coming out more and more and he is hilarious! He likes to talk to us, he babbles a lot and I am so curious as to what he’s trying to tell us! He’s also doing really well with food, he loves just about everything we’ve given him (except peas and avacado!) He’s been eating more table foods and is really interested in what mom and dad are eating.
We are really looking forward to what Sam will be like with a little brother or sister, his personality is growing every day and he is such a joy to our family!
We had a thoroughly enjoyable Independence Day!
Sam and I broke out our matching outfits, including some red shoes!
We went out with some friends and ate a lot of dessert and watched some great fireworks. It was a lot of fun, even though Sam was not a huge fan of the fireworks. But once I got him in the MobyWrap and snuggled tight he was fine.
I forgot to get any pictures while we were hanging out with friends, but you know it’s a good time when you look at your phone and you realize nearly three hours have passed!
Thanks for the invite and party, Abra! We had a great time.
The first rasta-beanie apparently wasn’t enough rasta for the customer and he wanted another one!
Oh my goodness, this one gave me such a headache. It really shouldn’t have been that hard, but pregnancy brain makes even the simplest things difficult, you know?
I guess it is more of a beret? Anyway, I finally figured out it had to knit it intarsia style, and knit it flat. Gah! It took me a long time to figure that out, but once I did it was pretty simple. However, having six skeins of yarn that I was working with was kind of a nightmare! They got all tangled and it was pretty slow going trying to get that all sorted out.
That’s the hat inside out, obviously. I think it looks kind of cool.
But now I know how to knit an intarsia style beanie, knit flat. In case anyone wants to know…
A stegosaurus beanie for a special little guy all the way in Canada! Size 2T.
I whipped this one out late Sunday night. I stayed up extra late just to make sure I could get it in the mail yesterday. I sometimes forget that I need to go to bed early because Sam doesn’t sleep in just because mama is tired. So mama took a nap while Sam napped, always a good choice.
Do you have any special plans for tomorrow?
An adult sized Vandal Helmet!
For a real-student Vandal!
This is consistently one of my favorite patterns to make, and it was fun to make in adult size, too. It was my first time making it adult sized!
But now a certain little dude needs some attention, and mama needs some lunch.
Go Vandals!
