Happy Days

Peter holds his head up really well now on his tummy. It is crazy how fast time flies. I swear Peter is growing up at least triple the rate as Benjamin did. I was trying to remember when Benjamin finally tolerated tummy time, and I think it was around seven months when he also started to scoot. I was looking through some old pictures of him tonight and found evidence to prove me wrong. He was doing this at four months, too. It was all a blur to me. Here's a little blast from the past. Benjamin was SO fat.
And here he is with his little clone. Although they seem to be diverging more and more into their own little persons. Oh, and I weighed Peter this week. He's a whopping 16.5 lbs. He's definitely outgrown the size one diapers I've been mistakenly squeezing him into for the past few weeks.We had some nice weather this week and got to play outside more than usual. Benjamin enjoyed pushing Peter around in the stroller.
And of course working on the compost pile.
So here is my little triumph of the week. I finished TWO projects! I finished stitching together this rug for Peter's room and made the fabric shade.
I like how it turned out. It was really easy, so now I'm confident that I can tackle the five windows in our room and make it look decent.

  10. Ok, Sarah, I've got more praise for you, so keep basking in it! Hahaha. :)

    You will forever be my personal interior designer friend. Whenever I have a question or am seeking decorators advice, I will ask Sarah Cannon.

    Isn't it satisfying when you look at a beautiful piece of work and think, "I did that." Way to create!
