Baby Popsicle!

So Sam has been teething pretty badly the last few weeks, stuffing everything into his mouth and whining a lot, chewing on his hands, drooling like crazy, you know, fun times, right? So in addition to his Baltic Amber Teething Necklace we are using Hylands Teething Tablets (He absolutely LOVES those things!) I started giving him some “baby popsicles”, which is just frozen breastmilk crunched up a little and put into this little mesh feeder, so he can chew on it and soothe his poor little inflamed gums!

He really seemed to like it!

Someone recently asked if I would update about the amber teething necklace, and I do have to say that I think it’s made a big difference! He drools a lot less and is noticeably less whiny when he is wearing it! I forgot to put it on him one morning, and it took me until 2 that afternoon to realize why he was being so fussy! I put it on and within an hour or so he had calmed down and was back to his silly little self. And as a bonus, I think it just looks so darn cute on him!

Easter Bunny Hat

So, Sam is wearing his cool Halloween shirt (still fits!) to pose today for you. A custom order for an Easter Bunny Hat!

I think Sam makes a pretty cute Easter Bunny!

Also, Sam and I (as of yesterday afternoon!) are in Tacoma for a week and a half, so posting might be a bit light so we can enjoy our trip and spend lots of time hanging out with family!

Winter Whites

Sam is kindly modeling a hat I made for a new baby of our friend Megan, welcome baby Penny!

Always gotta have the fingers in the mouth. Always.

Well, unless we are rubbing our eyes because it’s past naptime.

I’m a mean mom, making my kid stay up past his nap so I can get a photo shoot in. Hah!

Lil’ Lamby

A lil’ lamb for a custom order.

I like this lil’ guy. Sam was sad to give him up.

And now I have to go finish packing for my trip to Tacoma tomorrow! I am so excited!

A New Winter Hat

It’s still pretty cold here in Idaho, and Sam was outgrowing most of his newborn size hats. So I whipped up a chunky knit blue and brown hat.

It’s really nice and thick, so it keeps his head toasty warm!

Paul has the day off (Yay for Presidents Day!) So we’ve spent the day hanging out, running errands and doing our taxes.  Happy Monday!

Sam!

We’ve been trying out some solid foods with Sam and he absolutely loves his food! He grabbed some peas off of my plate a few weeks back and stuffed them in his mouth before I could stop him, and he started whining a LOT everytime Paul or I would eat anything, and he would lunge towards anything we were eating… that was when I decided he was ready to try out a little bit of food.

So far he’s tried carrots, peas and sweet potatoes and some baby oatmeal. He’s loved everything we’ve given him! He tries to drink water out of my cup, too. He is starting to put on a little more weight, and we are having fun making baby food too!

Bunny Hat

A bunny hat custom order, and as a bonus Sam was especially photogenic today.

Bahaha! Right? I know!

He looked straight up and the hat fell over his eyes. He started laughing! He thought his ‘blindfold’ was hilarious.

This kid makes the most ridiculous faces… but you all knew that already!

And I will leave you with these eyes that stare right into your very soul.

Ewok!

More Ewoks! I think they’re getting better each time I make one. These have been a hot seller, recently.

I’m not totally in love with the face on this one.. but I guess it’ll have to do. I redid it 3 times… and it didn’t get any better!

Alright! Onto the next order… a Bunny Hat!

Sock Monkeys Everywhere!

Orders for Sock Monkey paraphernalia have been high recently, and instead of giving you 5 different blog posts for them, I will just show you the following pictures.

 

A Sock Monkey hat and diaper cover order! He was wiggling too much for me to get a clear shot! He likes to shake his booty!

I think he has a very Curious George look on his face in this one!

Check out that booty tooch! What! This kid is killing me with his moves!

Aaaaand, more Sock Monkey Hats!

And that’s the end of the Sock Monkey stash at our house… at least for now! We’ll see how many more orders crop up for these bad boys! I do love making them, they’re a lot of fun!

Oh, and Happy Valentines Day!
