Cheesy Smile and Happy Friday.

Happy Friday! So, I asked Sam to smile for me, when I was taking his picture and this is the face he makes. I’m still dying laughing!

But he’s going through a major growth spurt right now, so he’s been a little more needy than usual. But it’s time for his breakfast, now. Hope you all have a great weekend, it’s the start of Spring Break around here, which means campus will be empty!

Mr. Elephante

I think the elephant is one of my favorite knits. He’s just so darn fun.

Sorry, I’m bad at coming up with interesting commentary for all of these knitted toys! I should hire a writer….

Monkey Moo.

A custom order for a monkey. He’s pretty cute, but somehow he ended up with sort of a hunchback.

Eh. Oh well, he’s still a fun little guy.

And check out some pruny baby toes after a long bath! Man, I just love baby feet.

Well, we are off to our Co-op Mama’s and Papa’s meeting so Sam can hang out with his other baby buddies and mama can get some social interaction!

Boys in a tub.

Or in a sink, I guess. Sam has recently decided that he can sit on his own, and this has greatly improved his quality of life!

He is so much happier now that he can sit and play on his own.

And he’s figured out how to splash, too!

He’s making some huge strides these last few weeks, it’s been incredible to see him figure things out and then be able to actually DO them, like rolling both ways (nothing is safe in our house anymore!) and his finger dexterity and now, sitting like a pro!

Vandal Helmet, Toddler Style.

Another Vandal helmet, this time in a toddler size!

Ezra was kind enough to model for me, although I had to be quick! He has places to go, people to see!

And also- we’re going home tonight! Hooray! 🙂 I am very excited to see my husband. It was a great visit, but I am ready to be home!

Hanging out

Nothing too exciting to show you all, we’re just hanging out in Tacoma- keeping busy- seeing family, friends and getting lots of knitting done while there are plenty of willing hands to play with Sam.

Here’s just a few snapshots of our week:

Sam and Giraffe

Are you bored of the giraffes, yet? I kind of am. hah.

I think the giraffes are especially great for little babies, because they have the little horns and ears to chew on, as well as a long neck which is easy for them to grab. Sam just adores the giraffes I’ve made for other kids. And he’s slobbered on a few of them (sorry, guys). But I am glad they are such a hit- I think they’re one of my favorite knit animals!

Wicket!

Another Wicket the Ewok!

And here is what he looks like without his cool orange headgear.

Sam seems to have some sort of cold or something- he doesn’t seem to be feeling well, so I’m off to make him happy!

Pebbles Vest

A custom order for a Green/Blue Pebbles Vest.

And a very excitable little baby boy.

I think he gets bored with the constant photo shoots. Sorry, dude, but when you are still young and I can still dress you up, you’re just gonna have to suffer through it!

Vandals!

Another Vandal Helmet! This time made with Blue Wings. Not sure why, but hey, I just do what the customer asks!

Also, Sam is challenging you to a staring contest. He will win.

A squirmy lil’ model!

Also, if you are wondering, that’s what our couch looks like without it’s slip cover. Fancy, huh?
