Onesie Dress?

I did it. I made the "dress" it was a creative project and my mom helped out some.. ok a lot. She knows a lot about sewing. Its great! I saw a dress like this at a quilting show that my mom sister and I went to in Feburary and we thought $10 for a pattern was kind of crazy so I figured it out on my own, and think its pretty darn cute. We saw some others online but I still like mine more. I need to work out the kinks betters on the next one, but this was the first one.

The Dress

Its not the best picture of the dress, and the back has a cute little button that holds the sides together. I put elastic on it so that we can get it over Brooklynn's head. The front is stitched to the onesie than attached on the other side with the button. I like it.

Trip to Capitola and So mush more.

Well I said something about posting a video and well that didn't work so well. We will try again later.
Last Thursday we took advantage of the lovely weather and went to Capitola beach, It was such a blast watching Brooklynn playing in the sand. Now I did have to keep brushing the sand out of her mouth and hand, but I just feel like I need to clear the air about caring if she eats sand. If I didn't want her to eat it I wouldn't have put her on the ground. Right? Oh well, she was just having some fun, it was so cute. Luckily I had my phone and it takes pretty good pictures.

She was loving the sand, at first she was just feeling it, then she started to grab it by the hand fulls and proceeded to shovel it into her mouth.
It rained Friday .. I guess its a good thing we went Thursday.

Brooklynn has also picked up crawling, yup that's right, buckle down the hatches shes into everything. We were at my nieces 14th birthday party where all the girls were playing with her and my sister had her while Carli was opening presents and she saw me and started to cry. So Jodi put her on the ground and she drunkenly made her way over to me. It was so cute. Sense then it has been non stop everywhere. We were at a friends work and she was chasing a little dog that was totally scared of her. Now that was funny!

I have started to pick up sewing as I think I have mentioned before, I dunno. I have made some shoes so far, My moms scissors got sent away with mine to get sharpened so that put a damper on the sewing for a while. They are cute hu? Next I am going to attempt an Easter Dress for Brooklynn and a skirt on a onesie, hope they turn out cute.

This is a random photo I found on my phone. Its just to cute. She was sitting on my dads lap, jumping and loving the steering wheel. Thought she was SO cool.

Derek is still up to no good at school, learning how to do I.V.'s and stuff, came home with some good looking arms on Wednesday. He is getting excited. He has picked up softball again with San Juan's Fire Department, they have little team for the summer I guess.

Pictures and more

Brooklynn's 6 month Pictures.

who can resists those eyes?


She always has her tongue out, its just to funny.

This one is our favorite.

I just love how she has to eat everything.

So it the last blog I promised pictures, sorry they have taken so long. In this one I think I will promise some videos to come. We have been putting our Christmas present to use.

Sense I last blogged I have begun to embark upon some..(or many) projects. I am going to start making some random crafty things: bracelets for all your watches, baby shoes, baby clothes, etc.. Living with my mom gives me the opportunity to really learn how to sew. (shes awesome at it) so I thought Iwould put her to the test. I am excited to see how it goes. I am going to try to sell them and see where it goes.

As for Brooklynn she is learning to crawl.. its coming.. I give her a week at the most. She really just wants to get up and walk. she is pulling her self up on everything if she gets the chance. She has also been rolling everywhere so there is no need for her to be crawling, she gets where she wants to go just fine.
She has started to wave hello and goodbye, its pretty cute and usually accompained by a slight "hi" sound, pretty funny. Shes also picked up on clapping. Shes really good at copying whatever you are doing, she was trying to whistle at Nana last night.
It sure is fun watching her grow up.

Derek is doing well in school. Just had his first of 4 major exams this week and passed it so that's Great. He spends his days studying if hes not at work or preparing his lesson for the 10 year olds at church. He has had one night out learning, he spent it at the labor and delivery floor in San Jose where he got to assist in delivering 4 babies, Watchinga 5th and scrubbing in for a C-Section surgery, He came home with a big bouquet of flowers for me and said this is for you for what you went through 7 months ago. He is really enjoying school.

Till next time. much love.. The Greens
