Fun with bear hats

I've been having a lot of fun lately creating my newest hat! The pattern is 100% my own. It's really nothing to brag about though, as it is quite simple. :)










I'm going to be experimenting in all different colors. I got the idea after a customer requested a custom hat. She wanted it done in brown with a hot pink trim.






I know I said I was going to put my shop on a mini-vacation... and I did, but I couldn't help but reopen. Things have been pretty slow though. I haven't listed as many hats lately so it's still pretty much under control. I have to send a few hats off to be photographed. Once I get those back I should be able to stock my shop with a lot of more new and exciting things!

Emma is six months old now! She just keeps getting bigger and bigger. She's definitely mommy's little girl. Which is good, since Jacob is such a daddy's boy.


Emma on the day she turned 6 months!






Emma is doing all things a six month old should be doing. She's right on track with all of her milestones. She has even been trying to scoot lately!

She is still minus her teeth, but judging from her behavior this past couple of days I don't think it will be very long before a few make their appearance. (At least I hope not!)

Here are her 6 month stats:

Weight: 15 lbs 6.4 oz; 45%
Height: 24 1/4 inches; 10%
Head: 41 cm; 10%

She was wearing a cloth diaper when she was weighed and I normally bring a disposable with us so that her weight is more accurate. Cloth diapers tend to weigh more than a disposable, so her weight is probably a little off. Also, I don't think they got her height correct either. It looked like she was a little slanted on the table and I don't think her legs were pulled all they way straight. But at least we have an idea where she is at!




Doctor said everything is fine and she's following her curve. She told me that I need to introduce solids to Emma this month. Mike and I bought her some organic rice cereal while we were grocery shopping this past week. I'm waiting to give it to her once we get back from Florida. Yes, I'm traveling again ALONE. But this time it will just be me and Emma. I'm flying down to Florida for about a period of 24 hours. I'm going to see my Lindy graduate from USF! I'm so proud of you brown girl!

The whole family will be coming down December 19th. We'll be road tripping. Fun times.

I promise to have more pictures of Jakey next time. He's not so much into being photographed these days. Emma on the other hand has no choice. :)
