It's done! I finished the elastic and binding this morning on the shoes, and the elastic on the headband too! I brought it to Grandma's 90th birthday gathering today (Happy Birthday tomorrow Grandma!) and mum loved it. Her response was "Maybe I should have told Erin (mum's step-daughter-in-law-to-be and my step-sister-in-law-to-be and bridesmaid) that you were making C's (her daughter) dress!" She loved it! I'm so happy with how things turned out. I'll post a 6mos pic as soon as I get em done (not for 2 weeks obviously!). YAY!
Okay, I've decided I definately have to get her 6mos pics done in her ensemble. It is too darn cute, and I've put way too much time and thought into it! Granted that means she'll be wearing it before the wedding, but only for a bit! :) It'll be remembered forever that way! I hope her daughter will get to wear it one day! I'll have to make a fancy "made by mommy with love" label and then date and sign it. I'm getting all sentimental and mum's wedding hasn't even gotten here yet! Only 20 days!
(P.S. I had the option of my or our wedding, so I went with our as the families are being joined too!)
I updated photos through out my posts, including the tickers at the bottom of my blog, so if you're interested you can browse and see what I've added!
I am almost done Kanga's wedding ensemble for mum's wedding. I have her dress done, have her shoes started and her headband is nearly complete. I love doing this for her, and I love that mum is so thankful!
It would seem I forgot to announce that my BabyHawk came! I am so happy with it. I can barely tell I'm carrying Kanga when she's in there! The Snugli was great, but with the waist straps carrying is even easier!
I called at 10:00 to check in on Kanga and not only was she napping, but one of her caregivers had caught a pee! Stay tuned for more information.
Edit:
They caught more pees after I posted! Kanga didn't want to eat much at daycare today, but frankly if she doesn't want it, they can't make her and that goes for when I'm nursing her as well! There's only so much a caregiver can do to get a kid to eat! :) When I picked her up she smiled and then let me know I should pick her up more quickly. I strategically gathered up all her stuff before she saw me this time, and once I was 'organized' (go in; grab laundry, cleans, potty, pack that; get lunchbox, soother, cuddly, pack those; get outside clothes, shoes, etc., finally get my baby girl!) I grabbed her and she told be all about her day. The ladies said she had a riot with the mirror, 2 good naps, and was happy all day. YAY!
