Gabe was not the drooliest baby. He really never needed a bib except for mealtime (and seriously, we could still use one some days- applesauce comes out easily, thank goodness). Sweet Gwen, though- she’s got some major drool-age happening. Gabe popped his two bottom teeth around this age, so maybe she’s working on some! Until then, we will keep searching for new and different teething toys for her to soak. 
The colorful tops of the towers Gabe and I built. He really just wants the tunnels underneath- they’re great for driving toy cars through.
The power went out. The bad weather had long since passed. Unfortunately, not extremely unusual on Progress Energy (and they want rate hikes again- ugh).
But, at least it was a good day for it- as long as we stayed near a window, the breeze kept us comfortable. Gabe and I played with part of his massive collection of Matchbox cars on one side of the room, while Gwen and their dad played on the floor by the sliding glass doors.
Gabe has the hugest collection of toy balls. He is such a boy, though- I feel like I’m always yelping “Don’t kick/throw/toss/bounce that in the house!!!”, so we try to limit them to one or two in the room at a time. This one HAS to be the weirdest of them all.
Check it out- I… um… I mean, my son… got some new Automoblox in the mail today! Seriously the coolest little toys ever. He just loves these things. And he lets us play with them sometimes, too- one of the perks of being a parent. ! 
A fun little rattle for baby girl, whipped up from one of my new sewing books, Sweet Booties!: And Blankets, Bonnets, Bibs & More
Gwen has a cute little ball
I love that my sewing machine has opened up so many fun crafts! Yay!
Jump Jump Jump- Gwen’s jumperoo arrived today. She can bounce- and we can now eat a meal in peace. Usually.
I had a photo of a tent cobweb weaver spider and her tent to use today, but, I just can’t edit photos of spiders in the dark without completely skeeving myself out. I’m a wimp! So, um. Here’s the third tag toy- this one is for little Andy, the cutest little baby nephew ever. It has crinkly stuff sandwiched in the middle of the flannel sides, like Gwen’s first one does- noisy!!
It’s a warm FL winter again (thank goodness- I am really not built for the cold stuff!) so we spent a little time on the back patio wearing down some sidewalk chalk. My son did a remarkable job at staying pretty clean this time, but, was shocked to discover the bottom of his shoes were covered in colorful chalk dust.
Oh my. This sure turned out differently than I’d envisioned. It’s the big scary blue monster blanket sister of my daughter’s tiny cute taggie toy from last week. Minky is the fabric of the devil, pure evil to work with, but, oh… sooo…. soft. And blue, in this case. Or BLUE. Hopefully this won’t be the one thing she attaches to and carts around for years.
