Too Funny Not to Post
Last night I got home a little bit late but I told myself all day that I needed to go on a walk. Since it was nice out I decided to take Nicholas with me...and since you can't go on a walk without the dogs Chris took Payton and Hank and went with us.
I wanted to walk before it got dark so I threw some footed pants on Nicholas (hints his unmatched outfit) and off we went!
Nicholas had a lot of fun! When we got back I sat him in his chair and he put his arm on the arm of the chair.
I decided to take out the camera and capture this moment. After I sent the picture by text to some friends and family-I saw it!!!!! i know one other person did too (right Steph?)

What's New w/ the Elliott Family?
1)On Friday 18th I turned 25
2)Nicholas has found his voice and is more vocal everyday
3)Nicholas has started moving his butt in the air and bending his knees to get in a crawling position, he just can't figure out what to do with his arms!
4)We have noticed that Nicholas uses his left hand for EVERYTHING. It is very rare that we see him use his right hand to hold or reach for anything.
5)I picked out the paint color to paint our bedroom-Artisan Tan!
6)My brother brought his girlfriend-Kristen home to meet the family last week! AND we Love her!
7)Nicholas has started eating rice cereal!

Homemade/My 1st Sewing Project
A few weeks ago I told you about my new sewing machine! Well........I sewed something for the 1st time since I was ooooh I don't know maybe 12!!!!!!!!
Thanks to my Grandma for teaching me the basics-Got to ask you though...."HOW THE HECK TO YOU THREAD THE MACHINE?" you must have great eye sight!!!!
And a special thanks to my husband for not only buying the machine for me but cleaning out a space for me to create this wonderful masterpiece!!!
Here is my craft room (for the time being)
and here is proof of the countless hours I spent trying to thread bobbin and the machine. I spent so much time trying to get it right-I finally just gave up and went to bed and tackled the project in the morning.

Here is the finished project: A Chicago Bears Blanket for Nicholas!
All of his blankets are so small and I wanted him to have something he could use well into his toddler years!
I know....I know....sewing 2 pieces of fabric together doesn't sound so hard and I hate to tell you....it's not hard. Not at all. The hard part is getting the sewing machine ready! LOL!!!
Nick Enjoying His New Blanket:
Nick: "What is it?"
"Oh it's a Blanket?"
"A Chicago Bears Blanket?"
"AWE-SOME!"
"Can we cuddle now? I will share!!!"
