Giraffe Jeans

These little jeans are so cute! This particular pair features a handpainted giraffe and balloons, and fits size 6-12 months. I found them at JuJu Designs, where you can find a nice assortment of hand-painted designs, sizes, and items.

Monkey Love

This is not really a photo of my new grandson. Well, yes, it is him in the picture, but he's not the reason I posted it. I got the darling monkey lovie next to him from The Monkey Shop--and Gabriel loves it. It's soft and cuddly, the blanket part is perfect for his tiny fingers to grasp, and the bright smiling face fascinates him. Dulce, the talent behind The Monkey Shop, has been crafting since she was four. It's obvious she makes each of her monkeys with love!

Gabriel and Grandpa

Mr. LuckyGirl spent a long weekend in Indiana with us and I managed to sneak a photo of the proud grandpa and snoozing baby.

Fun with Popsicle Sticks

Although I am not a fan of weapons, I love it when kids get creative. My new grandson's big brother (do you remember when family relationships weren't so complicated?), Owen, was so proud of the popsicle stick creation he came up with that he made and posted a how-to video. Pretty impressive for a 9-year-old!
