CHEESE!!!!!

This is what I found when I was making dinner. Every time I put the cheese down and turned around Wesson would grab the cheese and try to eat!

18 months!!!

I can't believe my little boy is 18 months!!! He is learning more and more every day! Here are some things he does....

*like pushing the box of diapers up to the wall so he is tall enough to turn the light on and off
* Likes to open the dish washer and clean it out or play with the butter knifes. He loves to stand them on the point in the hole for the jet dry stuff!
* Likes to hold the key (always the car key, never any other key) as we walk out to the car.
* counts to 10 (more or less)
* can fill in missing letters when you sing the ABC's
* Still loves to help Grandpa and Uncle Levi outside--- He is very particular about how he does things. My dad has an electric truck so he is always checking the batteries and Wesson loves to help. So Grandpa gives him tools to help. He copies Grandpa to the T. I mean He will use the wrench on the batteries but only where the screw and nut is... never anywhere else. ..because that is what Grandpa does!
* Scream and throws a fit if you are going outside and he is not going with you!!
*Loves nursery-- he could care less if I leave. He will throw a fit if I have to take him out of nursery to change his diaper. He doesn't want to leave.
*Thinks that whenever he leave he has to give everyone a kiss. That includes the dog.
*i don't know how many words he know, but a lot.
* He learns new animal sounds daily.
* Anything on wheels he loves to push around our little apt. laundry hamper, computer chair, or cars.
* He now will sit and watch a t.v. episode. I usually turn on Baby Einstein when he wake up from nap.
* He loves to sit on the potty. No he hasn't done anything yet, but he likes to sit on it anyways!
* loves to take off his pants and throw them out of the crib with all his blankets when he doesn't want to take a nap.
* He can chant "Go big Red!" much to daddy's delight!
* Loves corn dogs!
* Loves playing with anything Kitchen related. So glad he is getting a play kitchen for Christmas. Now I just need to start on the felt food!

He had his doctor's appointment today, so that meant shots! They get worse and worse every time. He cries harder and longer, this is not going to be fun when he is 5! He got a Flu shot, Hep B, and H1N1. They told me to call back in a month and see if they have any more H1N1 to finish it off. I was lucky and the office just got one vial that morning of H1N1. But here are his stats:
Weight- 25.2 Lbs ( 40 percent)
Height- 32.5" (58 percent)
head-- 49 cm ( 80 percent)

So excited!!!

So I know I haven't posted updates about my weight lost progress. I've been lazy in posting. But here is an update..... So excited!!! Today I went to wal- mart to pick up some cake mixes for young woman's and found that they had a clearance rack of some cute skirts! These are fitted skirts and I fit into a size 4!!! Just fine!!!! I was excited!!!! I normally wear size 6/7 !! So there is your update!!

All those project I've talked about and never posted......

Ok... Here are some of those projected that I've talked about, but never posted pictures of. Well here they are!

Here is a Purse I made for Alisa. She pick out the fabric and I sewed it for her!

I don't know why this pic is sideways, it was taken horizonal and I uploaded it like that. So I don't know why it is flipped.
Here is a rag blanket I made fore Laina. This time I appliqued a 'L' in the corner.

I thought this one turned out really cute. From now on I this I will do a letter in the corner.
Here is a halter apron I made! It's reversible. I got it free on line. I don't remember where. I just requested the pattern and she sent it to me in the mail! I love this pattern!
Side 2!!
Here is a purse I made for Alisa's for Alisa's friend. She picked out the fabric and paid for it and I made it for her.
I didn't get a picture of the inside of the purse, but the fabric is supper cute. Next time, I think I will make the shoulder strap longer.
This purse Alisa's friend paid me to make for her. The outside is sued and in the inside is zebra print. This only problem I had was changing the iron setting. I forgot and ended up melting the fabric and buying more.

Another friend asked me to make one for her and here it is.... I think I would have made the outside of the purse the pink fabric, but she wanted it black. Still it turned out cute!

I made one more purse for Dasha for her birthday, but I never took pictures of it. I'll try to and then I think I am caught up for now.

What did we do today.....

When we woke up this morning there was about 2 inches of snow outside!!!! We got about 5 inches over all, though most has melted by now. So Wesson went out and played in the snow! Well walked around at least. He wasn't very sure about it.

Grandma and Wesson

Helping Grandma take the mail out to the mail box!

Walking around in the snow! When we first put his boots on he wasn't so sure about them. You would go to put him down and he would pull up his feet. Then he got used to them, but would not step in the snow, he would just try to step over patches here and there. He also hated his mittens. That was hassle. You get one one and try to get the other one on before he ripped it off his hand! Then we had to keep both of them on while we tried to get his coat on! Man! Talk about a work out! After a few times of getting all his snow gear on he is a lot better and getting dress without undoing all my work!
See... not very happy about getting dressed up. No.. I don't have a dry scalp.... It's snow!!!

He is a lot happier when he only has to wear his hat! I love how his hat makes his cheeks look chubbier!!
