Kamiak Butte

We went on a hike around Kamiak Butte yesterday! It was our first really warm day (mid 80’s!) and it was the perfect weather for a nice hike!

Sam got really mad about being in the Ergo, so Paul carried him the rest of the way. It was a 3 mile hike, so that’s kind of a long ways to carry a baby on your shoulders! But Sam was laughing and smiling the whole time when he was out of the Ergo. It was kind of sweaty and hot in the carrier, so I don’t really blame him for not wanting to be in there! But my legs feel a little like jello this morning! I haven’t gone hiking in a long time and my body was no quite prepared for the steep incline, especially with a 15lb baby strapped on my back! Next time I am bringing a baby carrier that Paul can wear, too. But it was a really gorgeous out there! We will definitely have to go again- and if any of you come to visit us over here in Idaho we’ll have to take you because the view from the butte is absolutely GORGEOUS.

I am incredibly proud of this. I made a monkey ballerina, and I am SO excited to show this to you guys! Paul set up the photo shoot and took pictures of it for me.

Guys, I am so proud of this little ballerina. I am so sad that she is leaving the house tomorrow to her new owner.

Sweet Potato

There are some bigger knit projects in the works, so I don’t have many crafty updates for you quite yet, but to tide you over here are a few pictures of Sam eating sweet potatoes.

This is his “hollering for more” face.

Eating puffs.

“Look, mama! I got my bib off!”

I think we are having some luck with fattening him up. We are offering him food pretty often, and he’ll usually take it. He loves carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, but most of all MANGOES! The kid goes crazy for mango. Not a huge fan of  other fruits yet, but that’s alright, he loves his veggies!

Monkey Hat

Sam, even though he is sick with a cold, was kind enough to model this monkey hat for me. And he was even wearing his monkey jammies!

And the hat is obviously way too big for him, but it’s going out to a toddler in San Francisco.

And yes, that’s snot running down his face. Ew. Didn’t notice that til I uploaded the pictures.

And now we are off to enjoy some of this sunny weather! Oh, sun, how we have missed you!

T-Rex!

Custom order for a Blue and Green T-Rex!

I’m not sure why he ended up having sort of a duck-lips sort of thing… a little funny looking, but maybe it adds to its charm?

Rainbow Bright Dress.

I had someone send me a picture of a dress they liked and wanted to know if I could recreate it. I had a lot of trouble finding any kind of similar yarn, so I just kind of did my own thing and hoped for the best. So here is my Rainbow Bright dress.

The little girl I babysit kindly modeled it for me!

I know it’s a little bright, but I really like it!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend, and got to spend it with good friends. Nothing like fellowshipping around a huge Greek feast! I meant to take pictures, but of course I forgot.

Buy I did get some good pictures on Saturday!

Sam is wearing a onesie that I bought for Ezra when I was in Paris back in 2009. I love it, it’s one of my favorite things I bought on that trip! I wish I had bought more baby clothes, but at the time I wasn’t exactly thinking of babies…

And just a heads up, I might be a bit quiet on the blog front this week- I am babysitting another little kiddo during the week, so I don’t have quite as much time to devote to the ol’ Knittybutton! I won’t forget about the Giveaway, though, so don’t forget to check back tomorrow to find out who won!
