A new BED!!!

I'm so proud of Cory! He built my son's crib all by him self! Doesn't it look incredible? Deven being the perceptive boy that he is, knew what that crib meant. so far he's not adjusting well. I asked my parents for advice and what i gather is slow is good. the only thing is I'm weaning him at the same time. so it's kind of like a double whammy. we'll see how these next few weeks go. The other thing i sensed was to make it a place of fun so he will want to be in there. oh yeah Cory put a "night light" in his crib. It's this huge picture that has water which moves. Deven likes it. What I like about this unique design is we can turn the crib around and it turns into a daybed when Deven gets older and can crawl in and out of it. I love it! I hope Deven warms up to it.

Happy Valentines Day

Cory was a sweetheart and surprised me with flowers! He said it was in support of the Young Women in our ward to go to camp. The stems were insanely long! so I cut them to the right length and put them in a makeshift vase. I put the ribbon that came with the roses around the vase. what do you think? I gave him a home made card and homemade cookies with a cookie jar. I found the cookie recipe from a post a friend posted on facebook. to my surprise and shock it made 52 cookies! I decorated them and everything. I would have posted a picture but he ate them all! I was hoping they would last a while. Well I guess they lasted long for him.

That's not how you say that

Have you ever said something in another language that was close to what you were supposed to be saying? Like in one time i was trying to say thank you in Navajo and instead i said i was engaged. everyone started laughing at me. believe it or not i just had this experience with my baby. He calls his bath duck " a duh" he doesn't know how to say the "c" sound. So while he was taking a bath, i was naming things off for him. he grabbed the duck and said "a duh" I corrected him and said Duck. for some reason he thought that was funny. as if i were saying it wrong. I tested it many times and every time he laughed at me saying duck.

Deven's new love

For a 1 year old you'd be surprised how many times Deven has been in and out of love. he he it's not what you think. With the new tooth that he got for his birthday, he found out what exactly he can do with two teeth. I don't know what possessed me to give him an apple slice one day but he loves them now! Oh yeah that was it! he was teething. He needed something to distract him and help him bite. I love it because it's healthy and a good snack in between meals.

New focus

Lately my new focus has been to develop my talents. Plus! I figure that everybody loves homemade things so... why not go that route? Everyone wins. My cousin just had a baby and I decided to make her some baby booties. Before my son was born i had the same idea. But I was too nervous to try anything to fancy. His were the simplest that i could make with out hurting my self. Like i said I've decided to stretch my self a bit more and... look at the results! I'm so proud of myself! Cory was too! I've been discussing with him how else I could stretch my self. So he took me to his grandmothers who had tons of crocheting books! Oh i was in heaven! so many projects i wanted to start! We even discussed if anyone might buy them? That's future thinking. But when we looked at his grandma's stuff I wanted to get copies of some of the pages. I couldn't wait to start! I wanted to try a hat and look! only problem is, it was meant for an adult woman and instead i accidentally made an infants. oops! oh well it is perfect for a baby doll that i have that my niece likes playing with when she comes over. and it's another thing i can make when i have a daughter. it's better to look on the bright side! =)
