Some Summer fashion shows

Since it's warming up here in TX, I figured I better get down and dirty with the summer buying so ITS ON right now :)
Went to the outlet malls today after Andrew took a tour of the firestation this morning! We got some pretty good stuff! If you have a baby, the carters outlet was the place to be today--GREAT deals! Landon got a TON there! They also built a stride rite outlet out there that I am personally happy about since Landon has elephant feet and needs extra extra ginormously wide shoes!

Anyhow! before the fashion show, I wanted to see if someone could help me with my ADD. I am not finished with the elephant--OR the headband I started, and I cast on and knit through some shorties, I'm about 1/2 done with them. Something is wrong with me. It's not just knitting either, I'm ADD with my crafting too! I have so many sewing projects on the table it's nuts! Cassi's pillow the back is not on and it's still not stuffed (which would be hard with no back) and I have a shirt cute out for Landon, 2 dipes cut out to sew, and I'm cutting out about 100 wipes b/c I'm tired of losing wipes to the same monster that eats ONE sock in the dryer apparently.

Here's the shorties, from the yarn I dyed! Well what I had done this morning


And Andrew's fashion show!

This set I snagged at the Gap outlet today!



The next 3 are american eagle for kids!




Gymbo top and Gap shorts I LOVE


Gymbo top and mini boden baggies (we live in these!)


Gap!

and my personal fav--Gap/ON


One lone one of Landon in his Mini Boden baggies set!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY LANDON!

Happy birthday to my little boy :( I am so sad he is one today :(
We had a great time at his birthday party--he cleaned up on presents seriously!
Had a great time digging into his cake too!
I try not to be sad about him turning one because when I look back at Andrew that was my FAV age from 1-2. So many exciting things happen in that age, they grow up so much and turn into little people. Still I mourn not having a baby anymore! Maybe I'll just keep having kids HAHA
No way, that means more birthday parties in a year, save me!

I love him so much!!!


A look back

Welcome to the world Landon! 8lbs 1 oz 20in long Born at 8:30 on 2/21/08


HI WORLD!!














First time swimming--UM what are you doing showing off my belly in pubic!?


first halloween!


Getting some jelly on him!






I tried! He was all over the place today


Loved that cake!

My knitting has reached crazy levels

Socks...I made socks LOL

Ok well I lie I made ONE sock--the yarn is on the way for the other one!
Cassi got me this yarn for Christmas and it inspired me to make socks!



And I made baby socks for Landon too (which he wears and LOVES I think)
There are actually TWO of these LOL


And I dyed this sock yarn last week to make me a pair of socks--I LOVE dying girly stuff now!



I'm about 1/2 way through with an elephant like this too (in boy colors) I cant wait to see what it turns out like!

Landon is almost 1

I'm actually having a pretty hard time with my baby being one. I have baby fever bad, and heck he's still a "baby"!
Got all of the party supplies yesterday though! All I have left is to get the balloons blown up and make his little baby cake. It's barnyard theme so we are having bbq so I need to find a place to order some, and we are having cobblers instead of a big cake. Although Brad's cousin is making my FAV-strawberry cake and bringing that! LOVE HER! :)
Landon started Monday night pretty much walking full time out of nowhere--it's weird to watch him toddle instead of crawl. He's growing up too fast. It's sad and happy at the same time. Fun to watch the boys really play together, and seem more equal. But then I miss my chubby little crawler too :(

Anyhow, thought I'd share some pics of Landon in some knit items I made lately!

Some summer shorts!

Birthday longies--match his b-day stuff!

these are the ones I dyed and knit:


Knit these up last week for V-day--and they are too small :(


And I ordered a TON of Boden last week--this is Landon in some boden I bought from last year. Think that top may not make it!

My little cuties

We were playing in the front yard this weekend!
Finally Andrew learned how to pedal a bike! Not entirely his fault, we didnt get out much and work on it, he still stinks at steering but it's a start! Now I wish I'd gotten him that darn smart cycle on clearance. Oh he has officially broken EVERY DVD player in the house--we can no longer watch DVD's LOL and :(

Landon is OMG at the words---and sometimes I wonder if he just says something and it SOUNDS like he just said what i am thinking but Andrew ALWAYS asks him "what you doing?" and he said it like 5 times tonight! I cannot get him to say it on command but he does say it IN CONTEXT! He also is going to have to get a leapster or magnadoodle of his own--those are his two FAV toys, mainly b/c he sees big brother with them, but hey he's working the pen!

I think blues clues was on---or shrek, those are the favs at the moment
Oh or Land before Time




Landon's cowboy boots for his western/barnyard theme birthday party I havent even gotten the invites out for b/c I just got the pants in for his pics and now i just give up! LOL

A LONG post!

I keep needing to post and then I get busy!
We are gearing up here for Landon's first birthday :( I cant even believe he's going to be 1! I dont want to think about it!
Anyhow, the theme is barnyard animals :) And I had some pants knit for him before I started knitting, they are coming this week! And I am making him a matching top and 1st b-day banner!

On top of that I'm
Knitting socks
Knitting some longies
making a pillow for Cassi's son (this is almost done)
making a custom tee
knitting another headband because I'm in LOVE with mine

Think I'm an ADD crafter? Yeah I am LOL

Here's my crafts I finished this month!



My longies finally finished



A sneaky peek for Cassi--the shorts still need a drawsting!



Andrew is learning to draw people and things--it's totally cute! He plays with his magnadoodle A LOT these days!
Here's some pics of his drawings!



this was "dinosaur"


A car--I can totally see it


and a monster

I'm so impressed with how well he does the eyes! And he can now draw the letters L, C, A and O! I am working on him trying to do his name so maybe that will be soon! He's also starting to "read"--mainly he memorizes things that I read to him I think but hey, it's a step! I think I will get hooked on phonics to work with him on.
We signed up for next year's preschool class! I'm super excited, they do a ton of "sit down" work next year and it's more like school than his 2 yr old class (even though he's 3) is this year! They also asked me if I wanted to work there--L would be 18 mo and go to school there too but I'm just not sure! We kind of wanted to have another baby so I guess I will see where we are with that! It's probably a great opportunity for both boys, and I love that i'd be RIGHT there all day--I know I'm a hovering parent LOL

Here's Landon pimpin the computer and cell phone like mommy!


Posting to a message board I'm sure "that biatch said WHAT about my mama!?!" (he's all about the drama)





He's saying more words---he now says:
Dada
Mama (his recent fav again!)
baba (which I thought was mama but apparently not he says both now--I think it's bottle--which officially was tubby's first word then LOL)
get me
tractor
Apollo
bye bye
my daddy
cat (I have NO idea, but I did read him a cat book once)


And he walks across the living room occasionally---I cant believe he's taking so long to full on walk, he's driving me insane! He's been standing on his own and taking steps since like 9 mo old now! He just doesnt pick up his feet, he's getting better daily though!
