Paxton's New Carseat.

Well we got Paxton a bigger carseat before we headed to California. He seems to love it but hopefully he'll still love it after an 8 hour drive!! Look how happy he is!

If you click this picture to make it larger, youll see his little buds coming in!! About time. It only took almost 10 months!

Addicting Flowers Tutorial.

Arent these so cute?! Well here's how ya do it!

Cut out circles. ANY size. Ive used bowls, cups & plates to make all sorts of sizes!

Tie a knot on the backside of the fabric.

It should look like this before you gather it

Pull the string with the needle & even it throughout the fabric

Here is what it should look like all gathered together. In this part, after i gather it and flatten it out, i do an "X" pattern in the middle. I go through it and back out of it to make sure it wont come undone. Then i tie it off on the backside of the flower.

Add something in the middle. For me i did bling! AND your done!

Beware, these become extremely addicting!!

He smiles with his eyes closed sometimes. SO funny!

Paxton Is A Pro At Stairs

When we were in Colorado this past week, Pax started climbing up my grandmas stairs! He got really good at it. Here he is at our house climbing up them!!

Paxton is 9 Months Old

Today we went to Paxton's doctors for his 9 month checkup. Ive been dreading this appointment (and every appointment) because of shots. He does great with them but its me who doesnt. haha. Anyways, he doesnt have to get shots till his 1 year checkup! YAHOO! So today was easy peasy. He has minor eczema & his iron test & numbers were perfect. His doctor told us that Paxton needs a new car seat. The analogy he used was "its like a 6'5'' man fitting into a mini cooper" haha. Love that doc. So we are no on a hunt for a 3 in 1 carseat.
