Two great ways to make Maternity Jeans...

No.. no baby here, but I'd really like to keep these links handy for future reference. Back when I was pregnant with Avery I found this DIY Maternity Jeans tutorial on Craftster.

Tonight while reading New Life on a Homestead, I stumbled across a link to this really simple Jeans & Underwear to Maternity Jeans Refashion from This Simple Life.

ETA: And here is a great way to make a Maternity Skirt!

Contrary Books..

I just read this review at 5 minutes for books about some contrary books. How cute are these? Avery's too young now, but I can definitely see her enjoying them when she is a little older!

Another Montessori Option..

Apparantly there are more Montessori Elementary School Options than I originally realized.

Buzzzz & Raspberries

A few days ago, Randy was reading Avery a story, and there was a picture of a bee. He said Buzz and did some buzz-buzz-buzz tickling. Now, every time Avery sees a bee in one of her books or hears us say it or buzz, she takes our hands and has us buzz/tickle her.

For awhile now she's also been fascinated with raspberries on the belly. (Not sure if I mentioned it before or not). Most of the time she wants Me (Mommy) to give Daddy a raspberry on his belly. She will pull our shirts up and "pretend raspberry" and gets a big kick out of it. My favorite (that almost always makes me giggle) is when she pulls my shirt up and tries to pull my head down so I can give myself a raspberry on my belly. Yep.. not going to happen baby. LOL.

More Words...

Tonight, Avery pointed to a picture of a toy telephone, and said "Phone- Beep Beep Beep." Randy heard it too. Funny little girl. =o) She will be 14 months on the 26th.

Today also started her transition to the next room at Daycare. She's loving it. According to her daily sheet she painted with a paint brush, and sat in the book area and sang songs and listened to stories. Aww.

Although Randy did forward facing on Friday, today (3/23) was also my first day with Avery forward facing in the car seat! Friday was her first day going to Nana & Papa's with Daddy without Mommy (I had to work.) Lots of firsts this week!
