3 Months, Dresses & Lizards

Baby smiles are the best, especially the first few. Adelyn started smiling a few weeks ago and I can't get enough! Her whole face lights up, her eyes get big, and there's an occasional giggle. It's the cutest thing in the world. Sarabeth & Anabelle have started to make her smile also. I love seeing her react to her big sisters' attempts to get a toothless grin. Here are just a few of her at 3 months old...

I decided kids' clothes are way too expensive. I don't buy anything unless it's on sale (or will be gone before it gets a chance to be on sale!) and even then it can be ridiculous. Now that we're responsible clothing 3 kiddos I thought it was a good time for me to dust off the sewing machine (my mom's 35+ year old model) and try to make my own. Lucky for me, I grew up watching my mom sew just about anything. I'd be pleased if anything I make is half as good as her work! My first few attempts actually turned out ok- just don't look too closely!

These will be their Easter dresses.

We've finally had some warmer weather & it's been so nice to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Earlier this week I went out to pick the weeds in our garden with the help of the girls. They ended up having a different job than picking weeds though- I asked them to make sure this

didn't get too close to me. I'm not a fan of reptiles.
