Edie's Valentine's Day Dress

It's been awhile since I've had the ambition (or the time) to sew. I finally decided to get back into the swing of things this past weekend and sewed Edie a cute little dress... just in time for St. Valentine's Day! Other than the dress is being a little long, it fits her quite well. I will have to work on sewing zippers though... still can't quite get that right.

I managed to grab one full length photo of Edie that was in focus (she's a toddler, don't you know)... not the best picture of her, but you get the idea.

And to make up for that not very awesome picture, here is a cute one of Edie and her papa.

Eighteen Months Old

Within the last couple of months, Edie has really transformed herself from infant to full fledged toddler. Yes, the tantrums have started and her mood is constantly up and down. But she is also grasping language at an unbelievable rate. She is well on her way to learning her ABCs and 123s and we often take time to practice them on our long journey to Horace 3 days a week. She has recently been putting two words together.

Another fun 18-month fact? She's head over heals in love with Elmo... we have no idea how it happened (well, we do... ahem, MeeMaw!). And so it has begun.

A visit with Lana and the kids

The little TrygKerz family braved the cold on Sunday and took a quick trip over to our friend Lana's house. Lana and her kiddos, Stella and Jacob, live just a couple blocks from us. It's been a awhile since we've made a visit... I blame the cold weather and our busy schedules... so, the excursion was way over due. Along the Lana and the kids, our friend Sam was there too.

Expect to see these guys in a "Life with..." post on my photo blog very soon.

Naptime!
