Birthday Time!

Aurora is Four!

A fantastic celebration for a wonderful little girl. We are so lucky to have you Rory-Boo. You light up our lives and we've enjoyed every moment of your first four years.

Aurora's birthday table set up and waiting for her when she awoke

Number Four shaped pancakes for breakfast.

Scrapy fingerless mitts were one of her morning time gifts.

Ready to party!

The cake.

First Stitches

Knit stitches that is. My baby, ahem, I mean big girl, has been asking to learn to knit for quite some time. I wanted to start with finger knitting like any sensible mama, but she insisted on using needles. So learning she is... and quite quickly, too. She needs a bit of help holding the two needles together while she wraps the yarn... but, otherwise, she's doing it by herself!

She says she's knitting a scarf for her Nee Nee. This yarn has some sweet memories for me. It is the organic cotton I used to teach my self to knit two summers ago. I made a garter stitch scarf for Rory. I think she's picking it up quicker than I did, though :0

Triumph!

Mister got his thumb into his mouth... and kept it there! For a good 5 mins or so. Then he lost it and got rather frustrated.... but he's on his way to mastery, and that will make our lives much easier, if past experience with Aurora holds true this time around.

Braids!

an exciting day, when your hair is long enough to braid!
