The Rest of Last Week

Mara started the Itty Bitty Bruin Preschool at Mountain View on the 27th.

She was so excited and loves going!

Jaina has started to really grab things and she's discovered the toys on the walker. I wish I took video of this because she was making the funniest noises trying to get this dolphin in her mouth :)

I've been doing more sewing!!!  It's always fun to get my machine out and make new things.

Mara had a cute purple bag that I bought at Target in their Dollar Spot. So of course it was very cheaply made. She was using it as a scripture bag for church and it started falling apart, so I took a seam ripper to it and used it as a pattern for a new bag.   So we went on a shopping trip to Hobby Lobby and she picked out her own fabric and here is the finished product:

I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I almost want to make one for me too!

I also bought a new pattern that makes 3 different dresses and a shirt in sizes 6-12 months to 8 years. (It's a Portobellopixie pattern named Claire) I totally LOVE it and made matching dresses for my girls. It was a really easy pattern to follow and I even made 2 for Jaina (6-12 & 12-18).  I already have my eye on some fabric at Hobby Lobby for more dresses!

I was also able to use my new serger for the first time while making the dresses. I love it!!

Xander lost his first tooth a few months ago. The second one has been loose since then, but the adult tooth came up behind it before it came out. So we've been wiggling it a bunch in hopes that it would come out.  Well on Sunday, the 31st, I wiggled it a little too hard and it sort of popped, but didn't come out. This was in the morning, and by the time he went to bed that night he let Pat really pull it!

I'm so relieved that it's finally out, it's been driving me crazy!

His adult tooth has already come forward fast and he looks great!!!

And the last fun thing of last week:

Jaina had discovered her feet and loves to hold them!!  Now if we can only get her to roll from her back to belly.   She's become very fast at getting to her back when you put her on her tummy. She'll become more mobile little by little :)
