Lucy has developed a new skill and a new habit every morning.

Sewing
Yes I am still sewing. I got an idea for a dress for Lucy off of facebook and this is how it turned out. The pictures aren't that great, she did not want to model, she just wanted the camera for herself.
It was made out of an infant towel so when we go to the pool we can just pull off her swim suit and through this on her for the walk home (she rides in the stroller). It keeps the seat dry! It is also comes in handy for when Dave takes her to the athletic center's pool she just slips this on and then rides home in the car, without getting her car seat wet.
1. To make it just get an infant towel.
2. Cut off the sides as straps.
3. Sew 5-6 lines with stretchy thread length wise to be the top of the towel dress.
4. Steam iron the stitching so it scrunches up.
5. Sew the back together.
6. Attach the straps. (Either to tie together at the neck or to be normal straps along the shoulders.)

Capes
So a few weeks ago Dave's work did a chili cook off and they had to do some type of spirit item with it. His team decided they wanted capes. Needless to say I have never sewn so fast in my life. It took me 3 hours Monday night to make a template and to make one. Then all Tuesday to put the other three together. I then ironed on all of the decals on the back. Dave and his teammates loved them! I was just glad they were done! We didn't win the award for the best spirit. That went to the mock mariachi band. Dave's chili won! Apparently it was a land slide too. There weren't even left overs for him to bring home for me to taste. I guess it was that good!
This is the cape. The logo says collateral damage.

Grant Update
So here are some pictures of Grant. As you can see he is just growing in leaps and bounds. He is such a boy. All he does is eat, sleep, and make noises. He is the loudest, eater and sleeper I have ever met. He is super strong too. To the point that I had to buy a jumperoo for him because all he wants to do is stand up!
