Not much


So my crafting has come to a halt due to Jack wanting whatever mama has. Currently he's trying to grab the keyboard. He will grab skeins of yarn and pull away from me, he will push the foot pedal down while I'm sewing or he will shove things in his mouth that do not belong there. Oh well, I'll have more than enough time to craft later when he's a pre-teen/teen and wants nothing to do with me because I'm old and his mom.

I do want to mention that I got a Mac on Father's Day. I don't know how I managed to get a gift from Trav on Father's Day but I'm not complaining. No longer do I have to deal with my computer randomly switching over to all caps, opening a new window with every click or holding the power cord in just the right spot to keep it running. Yay!

He walks. A lot

So, Jack just decided to start walking and he hasn't stopped. Pretty steady but tends to look like a drunken sailor when trying to walk fast/run. He's more determined than ever to do what he wants. I think he has his momma's stubborn streak which may drive me insane just like I did to my mom. What goes around comes around I guess.Travis is at his new job. We love it. He says the hardest day at this job is still better than a regular day in the ED. Yay! He even has a lunch break that doesn't consist of him eating at the desk while charting on patients. At least once a week Jack and I meet dad in Exeter for lunch. The other day we walked in the grass while we waited for our food. My little hippie baby doesn't wear shoes, he doesn't like them. Oh well, I don't wear shoes when I don't have to either.

Quick update

So I spent two evening making this dress from Weekend Sewing. I was super excited. Great fabric (I love red with white polka dots!), great summer style. I put it on at 10PM the night before I had to work and wanted to cry. It's about two sizes too big for me. What.The.F***? I followed the directions exactly. I'm small but I'm not that small. Boooooooooooo.

Something that did work out for me was my baking. We had two giant zucchinis and some browning bananas so I made four loaves of bread and some banana chocolate chips muffins. Yum.

Jack is walking now, everyday he goes a little bit further. I'd take the time to post a picture but currently he is pulling on my shirt and screaming. Gotta go!
