Pantsless

Lately, Amelia has decided that wearing pants is not really much fun anymore. She also occasionally decides that wearing a diaper is overrated as well. At daycare on Friday, she decided to take her diaper off and put it on her dolly while she was supposed to be napping. At least she was keeping someone covered!

Skirt with Pockets

I saw a skirt similar to this from some random blog and really liked the pop of color from the pockets. I had this polka dot fabric that was supposed to be used on Amelia's summer dress, but it didn't work out. So, I gave the skirt a whirl. The ric rac on the bottom really does match and looks much better in person. Amelia got several compliments on it yesterday and she LOVES the pockets.

Coloring

 Almost every night after dinner, Amelia asks to color. I usually only give her a few colors. She gets to ask for what she wants and it is always brown, orange, and one or two other random colors.

Summer Dress

I found this fabric and immediately decided Amelia needed a cute summer dress. I didn't really know what I was doing when I started out, but I think the end result isn't too bad. I love how the pockets turned out. Don't look too closely at the zipper, it still needs work. I said don't look! Oh, and I made a little matching bow from the scraps.

More Match Game

 I made a little drawstring bag for Amelia's memory/match game pieces. She likes to wear it as a hat. Who knows why.

No pictures, please!

Cheese Again

Amelia is getting really good at saying cheese when I ask to take her picture. The hard part is when she rushes towards the camera to say it. We get a lot of EXTREME closeups.

Cheese!

Impatient

This is the face of a little girl who helped her Mommy make muffins and couldn't wait any longer for them to finish baking so she could eat one. Poor girl! Waiting is torture!

Happy St. Patrick's Day (Belated)

Saturday was a beautiful day for playing outside. Amelia decided that Dolly needed to go for a walk. I think she walked Dolly for almost half an hour. Just up and down the sidewalk.

On a side note, this is an entire Mommy made outfit. The bow, the stenciled shirt, and the skirt with leftover fabric from her pillow. 

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day this year fell on the home opener of  Sporting KC (Kansas City soccer team). The team's main color is blue, but that just wouldn't do for Amelia. She had to be decked out in green. So, I made a stencil of the team's logo out of freezer paper and painted it on one of Amelia's plain white onesies. It turned out much better than I thought, but don't look too close.
