Happy Birthday!

Our little man has turned TWO!  He had a wonderful birthday.  We went to the beach, ate spaghetti and meatballs, and Grandma was here to help celebrate.  S looooved being sang to and blowing out the candles on his Elmo cake.  He kept saying "More, more!" so of course we gave in and did it again and again.  No actual pictures of him blowing out candles (you know I like to keep the kids' faces private), but here's Elmo!

I made a number "2" for the birthday boy's crown.

It's not my idea, but I can't find the original source to credit...the crown has a velcro patch so each year I can just make a new number.  This year I actually sewed it by hand, which I've found is a really nice activity during road trips.  Even C did some hand sewing and I made an extra to send on to a friend (Happy Birthday, J!).

My favorite project for S is the "2" shirt and Madras plaid shorts.  Is this fabric really popular everywhere, or is it an island thing???  Of course, I used my favorite pattern, Big Butt Baby Pants.  I've got this pattern down to a science and can whip out some shorts in under an hour.  C got a matching skirt, too, which she loves because it is very similar to Daddy's shorts.

 Happy Birthday, Little Man!  We love you!

Turning Two!

Our little man and one of my nieces both turn two next week.  I've been busy sewing and will share the projects for S soon, but wanted to quickly share this one for my niece.  Bub Bub modeled for the pic and he had quite a bit of fun twirling!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our other "S" who lives in Ohio!  We love you!
