Cute Hat Website

Okay, here is the website you go to see all the cute hats.  Now, I’m warning you… do not go here unless you have hours of time!  : )  I’m also warning you that it is very addictive!

Not only do they have adorable baby hats for girls or boys!  They have hats for the older kids!  They have jewelry!  They have furniture!  Everything is handmade!!  A lady down in Florida made Mally’s hat and when I ordered it she said it would take 4 weeks for her to make it and send to me.  So… you have to be patient!!

Enjoy!!  : )

Snuggling

On Saturday Mally and I went to my parents house for the day.  Jesse needed to study for a HUGE test that he has to take on Friday.  So we left him in peace and without distractions.

I really wanted to go watch my little cousin play football.  See I get in the truck in our garage which is attached to our house so I had no idea how cold it really was… until I stopped to get gas and stepped out and almost screamed!  It was freezing!  And extremely windy!  Then I get to my parents house (out on the prairie) and it is even colder and even more windy!

We still went to the game.  We bundled Mally up so snug.  She had on her snowsuit (which looks like a bunny – with a tail and big long ears!!) and we had her wrapped up in a blanket.  She was probably the warmest person there!  We only stayed for a short while and headed back to warmth and hot chocolate!

My little cousins came back to my parents house too and they had to get their snuggle time in with Mallory.  Here is Jake snuggling!!

 

I haven’t bought Mally a whole lot of clothes.  My sister kept all of Elly’s clothes – so I literally have totes upon totes of clothes.  But every once in while I’ll see something I just can’t pass up and I have to get it.  Like this hat!!  She actually needed a winter hat and my sister showed me this very addictive website with incredible cute stuff.  Anyway, I bought this hat for her!

It makes me want to know how to do this.  I took a crochet class when I lived out in Oregon.  But apparently I’m not a good listener and I made up my own stitch!  I kept thinking… how do people do this and watch TV at the same time.  I have to focus and it is taking a lot of work.  Duh!  I was doing it wrong!!  Maybe I need to go visit my Grandma soon and she can re-teach me!

Yum! Cereal!

I have been contemplating starting Mallory on cereal for about a week now.  I consulted my go-to-mom (my sister) and she called me a chicken and said, just started her what are you afraid of.  : ) 

I bought cereal on Saturday and tried to give it to her on Saturday for her last feeding before bed.  Well it was too late and she was not in the mood for anything new.  We put her in the bumbo seat and she threw her head and cried.  She did not want anything to do with it.

I tried again last night when it wasn’t so late and when she was in a much better mood.  She did much better this time.  She cooed and kicked and chewed on her hands.

Now you are probably thinking she is too little for cereal.  I keep reading that you can start them between 4 and 6 months and she is 4 months!  And it basically was milk on a spoon.  : )  Oh and she spit and blew bubbles so she maybe actually ate a 1/8 of teaspoon.  We went threw 2 bibs and a burp rag!

No pictures of her first cereal – bad mom!  ; )  Maybe tonight will not be so wild and we can get some of her.
