Carter – 7 Months

DSC_1935 adj bw 

I am quite behind on my Carter pictures.  I haven’t done a 6 or 7 month post yet, and he is now 7 1/2 months.  These pictures are just a few of my favorites from the last month or two.

He had his first Christmas.

Of course he loved the wrapping just as much as he loved the toys.

He is helping me with my work.  We have started a new book and hopefully with the two of us, we can have it ready for spring market 😉

 He is still just as smiley.

Maybe even more so, as he is much more content now that he is sitting so good and can sit and play toys.

 He is becoming more of a Daddy’s boy and less of a momma’s boy.  Joel seems to get the most giggles out of him.  (I am trying not to be jealous)

DSC_1168 adj bw

He is getting more and more energetic, so it’s getting harder and harder to get shots like this of him.  He is rolling, scooching, and jumping – or in other words – blurry in so many pictures.

DSC_1220 adj

He is still a good eater – weighing in at almost 20 pounds.  This month is the first time we noticed that while eating his Cheerios, he only uses his left hand.  We are seriously wondering if we may have a little left-hander.

This photo totally captures him – Big, bright eyes, big smiles, and the drool coming down the chin.  His first tooth has just popped through, so now when people see the drool and ask if he is teething, we can now say yes.  (for the last four months we have said we weren’t sure).  He has been quite happy despite that razor-sharp tooth coming through.  He has even been sleeping good the last three weeks – only getting up once a night.

Until next month . . . .

(View all of the fabric packs here.  We have a very limited supply of the kits, so no guarantees on how long they will last.)

It has been brought to my attention that it has been a while since I have shared any Carter pictures so I will be back later with some 7 month pictures!

Summer House has Arrived!

As you can tell from my new blog header, my bolts of Summer House fabric have arrived.   As is tradition on my blog, I am giving away the first set of fat quarters!

DSC_1891 adj

Just leave me a comment if you would like to be entered to win this set of fabrics.

DSC_1888 adj

If you would like a second chance to win, I am also giving away a fat quarter pack on our new Facebook page.  All you have to do is go visit our page and like us to be entered into that drawing as well.  I have just set up the page and feel quite lonely over here with  “no likes”!  In the future, I plan to share little bits of inspiration here and there – a few recipes, favorite quilts from the past, and sales in our online store, etc.
