I love the baby bear hats and the scalloped beanie.
i've recently decided to brush up on my crochet skills to make hats for the babies at our local hospital. It seems the older ladies that do it are getting too old and are having trouble with vision. Someone has to make them because when I have a baby I so love receiving them as a gift :)

I seriously love them all (I found your through UCreate). I think the ear flap and the monkey are some favorites though. If I have a girl this time around I'd love one of the patterns with flowers though (so indecisive). I really love all of them!
thanks for the giveaway!

Not Me! 01/11

Another wonderful morning for “Not Me” Monday. If you have no idea what I am talking about please visit MckMama’s blog for the details.

Now for my confessions…err list of things I would never ever do!

I did not neglect my extra messy house so that I could work on a new pattern this weekend. I am a much better housekeeper than that!

I still do not have earlier mentioned 5 or 6 Christmas gifts sitting in my dining room BEGGING to be mailed. My husband is not doing his families today out of sheer frustration stemming from my procrastination. I am much more efficient than that. I mean really they are Christmas presents!

I did not say something fairly heartless to a friend needing support and comfort. If I had said something as such I would have immediately apologized for such an awful out of line slip. I would never; I have much better tact than that. I mean really…I would never even think such things!

I did not wear maternity pants today because they are more comfortable than my pre-pregnancy pants. My baby is 7 months old I for sure fit perfectly in my old pants…I mean they might even be a little loose! Who loses most of their baby weight only to gain 10 of it back? Not ME!

My baby has a tooth

If you are looking for the giveaway click HERE or scroll down.

I was trying not to blog until Sunday night when the contest ends...
but BIG NEWS happened!

My baby has a tooth! His first tooth! His lower left tooth just barely broke through on Thursday (01/07/10). I was at work when he woke up and my mom text me "S has a tooth"...I would be telling a lie if I didn't admit that my heart sunk a little. I was so sad to not be there that moment to feel it. I rushed home after work and sure enough in the mouth of slobber there was a tiny sharp corner. What a little man he is! How have 7 months flown by so quickly?

"Not Me" Monday 01/04

It's time for another "Not Me" Monday... if you haven't read this before or don't know what I am talking about head over to MckMama's blog for all of the info and to link up your own "Not Me" Monday.

Like so many others the holidays snuck right up on me and bit me in the butt!
I do NOT still have 4...ok 6 Christmas presents sitting in my dining room that need to be mailed!! Procrastinating like that would never be ok.

I did not spend more of my 3.5 days off (for the New Year) bra less and in jams than I did presentable. That would be trashy!

I did not go to bed at 10p on New Years Eve night! That would really make me seem like an old boring lady. In my defense were I to ever do something so lame my husband would definitely have been at work...not that this happened or anything.

I did not get sidetracked and forget that Sawyer had an explosive situation in his car seat only to put him in it 2 days later...then be reminded by my mom of the explosive situation previously mentioned. I would never! That would be so nasty!

What didn't you do last week?

PS

No babies were harmed in the explosive situation. Baby was removed and placed in non tainted car seat. Tainted car seat has since been washed.

Christmas 09

!!! WARNING: the following blog will be HEAVY on the pictures and video clips !!!!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas....and we sort of got it! We had some snow flurries come through Christmas Eve and it was lovely! I wish it would have stuck but no luck! Karly twirled around in it, Sawyer had no clue what was going on and mom and JohnWayne attempted not to freeze! Now for the actual Christmas stuff!

We did Christmas at Aunt Gay's house a week early. It was really nice to see everyone.

Unfortunately Chris had to work Christmas day so we did most of our celebrating on Christmas Eve. Some of the Oxfords came over and we had Mexican Christmas. I made my first homemade tamales and they turned out delicious! Lots of good food, family and friends. We let the kids do sparklers and after everyone left Karly and Sawyer opened their gifts.

It felt a little odd to be doing Christmas at night but we wanted daddy to be a part of it.
