Late April Photos

Attack of the Rowan!

Rowan loves spending time in her sandbox.

Will this get me into trouble?

Who cares! This water is fun - wheeee!

Rowan and Grandma A.

Our little family.

Mom's old blankie with much needed new satin edge binding.

Yum!

This is great pizza!

Swimsuit Cover

This is a swimsuit cover that I made today for Rowan. It took me about one hour to sew it. The material is Solarveil - a special material specifically made for blocking out harmful UV rays. It is very breathable for hot days. I decided to do ribbon tie closures on this cover. I think that it would be better to do button or snap closure on future covers. My toddler seems to enjoy pulling on the ribbons - go figure!
p.s. Please ignore the Spaghettio stain on her face!

Summer Romper

This cute little romper is supposed to fit Rowan at 18 mo. But it is a tad short in length. So I guess I will label it as a 12-18 mo piece.

The Empress' New Clothes

A halter style top for the summer. Nearly complete.

Back ruffle on summer top.

Easter dress - prior to alterations.

Dress was taken in at the bodice/waist. A pink belt will be added.

All clothing sewn by Janea. Grandma Allord help cut out the Easter dress.
Thanks Grandma! Are you ready for more? :)

April Showers bring flooded basements.

Rowan is considering a career in mountain climbing. Today the dining table - tomorrow Mt. Everest!
In this photo she is laughing at her image in the mirror.













Rowan now finds it funny to shove her finger way up her nose. When I ask her to stop, she laughs at me. When I pull her finger out, she laughs at me .....and then she shoves it back up her nose. I hope this phase doesn't last too long.


























Guess who gave Rowan the grape popsicle.
Mom did!
She actually did a really good job eating it. The few drips on the kitchen floor weren't too bad. We will still use caution with messy, sticky foods in the future though.
