Stylin'

Jack now wears shoes on a daily basis.  We are trying to get him to get used to them. He is on the brink of starting to walk. I bought him a couple of pairs - a navy/grey Puma Kids Speeder Illuminescent (they light up!) and brown/tan Pediped Adrian Originals shoes. Love both of them. He also looks great in skinny jeans his grandma bought him. My little dress up doll. :) Can't believe how big he's gotten.

Handknitted presents

Today I had the pleasure of giving handmade presents. First off, I gave Jack's daycare teacher one of my ruffle scarves in her favorite color, pink. It is her birthday today. I think she liked it.

Then I had lunch with my friends who are expecting their little baby girl this month. For them, I made a tiny little bulky hat in Crystal Palace Chunky Mochi yarn in the "Trendy Baby Hat" pattern. I loved making this. It's soft and colorful and tiny. I hope they like it, too.
There is truly nothing more rewarding than giving presents made specifically with them in mind.

Baby, it's cold outside

Brrrr, it's so cold! Luckily Jackers has cute winter clothes his grandparents keep acquiring for him. I just had to take a picture this morning when I dropped him off at the daycare. My sweetie pie.
He also wore an adorable sweater underneath that reminds me so much of the Dude from the Big Lebowski. What a ham!
