Monday, Monday

Ahh.... it's Monday! And not only is it monday, our weather stinks. Cold is one thing, but cold, wet and gray it unacceptable as far as Abby and I are concerned. It makes the day seem so much longer and makes us sleepy. Luckily Abby is her usually happy self, for the most part. She keeps Steve and I smiling.
Abby is back on her great sleeping schedule after those few silly days last week. Last night she slept from 10 pm to 8 am. That is exactly the kind of baby I signed up for! She is spoiling us rotten with all her good behavior. And yesterday she sat through the whole church service with only two "yells." This was the first time making it through the whole service in the last 3 weeks. We were really impressed. Less than two weeks until Abby gets to visit her Hastings friends and family - it is going to be so fun! And now... back to baby afghan making. So many babies, so little free time...

Baby Sweater

We need to get out our warm clothes, and fast! It is a whopping 63 degrees here today and not getting any warmer. Abby and I both got our warm clothes out. We much prefer t-shirts to sweaters, but if we are going to stay warm this winter we won't get a choice.

I tried to make Abby a baby sweater yesterday. I found a pattern that said 6 to 9 months, but it must be a very different 6 to 9 months than I'm used to because it would not fit. But it's cute, so it may be finding a sweet baby girl to be gifted to soon. Now we just need to go to JoAnn Fabrics to find some pretty buttons for this little sweater. We'll have to find a new pattern to make Abigail her own sweater. Maybe we'll try another variation of this pattern again too for a smaller baby. Who knows... now that I've done one I know I can do another!
