Sew Fun!

Yay for SEW DAYS with my girlfriends!!! We have been doing for the last month or so and I finally brought my camera! Which was good since I finally finished a project!! I have a tad bit of ADD and intense frustration if I can't do it right.. so it took 3 sew days to get done! LOL! Hopefully my next project isn't as frustrating, I've decided that thin bias tape isn't my thing! ;) Here we are sewing it up..

Me, getting down to business! Must finish the apron!

Vanessa and Katie figuring out how to alter a pattern that was too big... my fault! Sorry Vanessa!

Watching the PRO do it!! She is AMAZING! Thanks for all your help with everything Katie! I know I speak for everyone when I say that!

The newest sew girl, she cranked out a skirt in one sew day!! So awesome!

Katie making her daughter's cute Halloween outfit from SCRATCH!! I told you she is a pro!

Me and my FINISHED apron!! YAY!

Our baby boy is 7 months!

Mitchell is 7 months today! He won't stop growing, even when he was sick he gained a pound! He is loving life and every new thing we introduce to him! Animals, cotten candy, ice cream(I wonder how he is still putting on the pounds?), Disneyland and other babies to name a few! He is still scootin around like crazy, he gets around really fast that way and hasn't even realized he could be even faster on his knees! We are thankful for that, because we still need to purchase some gates! He usually scoots himself into a place he cannot get out of on his own and then screams until we free him! Pretty funny.. usually! He sits on his own now and gets stuck like that, except today he has finally figured out that he can get out of it by falling forward and rolling and has been doing it all day! Oh well, it was nice for a couple weeks! ;) He randomly waves hi and we are working on teaching him high fiving and some signs from his Baby Einstein signing dvd, he loves that and the Nick Jr(formerly Noggin) tv station. He had his first ear infection this last month and he was such a good boy through that and the yeast infection the anti-biotics gave him, so sad! He is our little tough guy! He is still napping like a champ, but still wakes up once at night! He is finally doing regular 6 hour stretches through the night though! His personality has really come out and he definitely has his moods! He is starting to throw minor tantrums where he puts his face in his hands on the floor and cries and then looks up to see if you are watching. We just try to ignore him, so it doesn't get worse. TRY is the key word in that sentence, we think it is so adorable that it is really hard to not watch and laugh! He is also starting to be shy, he will turn his head away from people and snuggle into us. He has become such a Daddy's boy this last month! He has always loved Daddy, but now he actually looks around for him and calls for him! It's sad when Seth is at work and he does this, luckily he loves Mommy too!! This next month we are really going to baby proof EVERYTHING!! He can now open the fireplace doors and we can't just leave him to play on the floor anymore to use the restroom or run upstairs like we used to. Can't think of anthing else right now, except that we just love our active little guy SO MUCH and we are so thankful for his spirit in our home! On to the adorable pics!!

RRROOOAAARR!! This is his Halloween costume, I wanted his 7 month photos in it!

Super Mitch! I also took some of him in the cape that I made him awhile ago, since he is sitting now! I LOVE how they turned out!!!

Getting him dressed for the day, his little serious face!

Yelling at me, this pic kills me it is too cute!

Mitch and his girlfriend Madisyn, who is trying to get away from his grasp! ;)

So cute in his footy pj's! This is his newest favorite toy! It is actually a dog toy we got at a fair, it makes a ton of noise and we knew he would love it! LOL!!

Getting stuck under the coffee table, peek-a-boo!

This is what he does while Mommy and Daddy are on the computer!

Kicking back at Disneyland

We have found that Mitch has an aversion to mustaches! He is scared of his Pops'(Grandpa Andres) handle bar mustache! LOL! Whenever he sees him, his eyes lock onto it with this look of "What the.." So freakin funny! Seth friend at the LA fair has one too and when Mitch saw him he started crying! So sad!

Our Chubby Monkey!


This video is of him about to get lunch! He loves his food!


And this video is at the end of one of his little tantrums! I love how as soon as he sees that I am video taping him he trys to act like nothing was wrong!!

LA COUNTY FAIR!

We had a really fun day at the LA County Fair a week ago! We got in free and got free parking! NICE! Seth works with the LA Fair's Geode Man(He is a Fire Captain for his other job) and he hooked us up! He even got us a SWEET Geode(Pics below)!! We had a full day of fun and Mitch luckily did really well napping there, we are training him for naps on the go for Disneyland and a cruise we are going on with the Bills family in January(YAYA!!)! We did a lot of petting animals, Mitch LOVED it! He and Daddy were having a great time and I'm sad cause I only got video and it is still on the camera. Oh well maybe later, take my word for it - it was really cute! We ended up staying till 10pm and of course got some Funnel Cake on CRACK(at least it seemed like it), it was A-MAZ-ING!!!! Here are the pics...


Mitch, ready to go!

Gary the "Geode Man" educating Seth on the Geodes

Our geode! Super sweet! So pretty and cool to learn about!

Mitch and Daddy having a good time!

Seth was making him dance! :) Love it!

They had an awesome Dinosaur exhibit so we had to get a pic with T-Rex! They didn't have a Pterodactyl, :(.

This is a Angliasauras(sp?) Seth's favorite dinosaur as a kid, he did a report on it! So cute!

This is me and the BEST funnel cake EVER!!!!! It had soft serve ice cream and fresh strawberries on it! The bomb diggity!! We totally grubbed on it!!!
