The dogs sniffed him, and said, ok, he's cute. He can stay.

Baby Noah is here
Born Thursday, June 19th, at 7:18 am
10lbs. 1 oz.
21 inches long
14 1/2 inch head
Fun facts
He has lots of brown hair, it's like an inch and a half long in the back. He
is a really good eater- and is back to his birth weight. He likes to sit
like a little Buddha when he is being held. He puts his arms up in the air
and stretches really long when full of milk. He is sound asleep now- after
eating most of last night. He pooped on my arm in the tub. What a sweetie.
We love him to bits!

Inside the book...
How cute is that? The little removable teddy bear, and the child-size
fetching- fingerless glove. Thanks so much!

The book of knitty!
I have a friend who knits, Beth, and she is not what I would call an
"obsessive knitter" but I might have to change that. She made the book of
knitty for our baby, with the help of her mother-in-law. Amazing! I don't
know how she came across the pattern online, since she is not obsessive- but
I so appreciate the gift! It is too cute for words. I don't think I would
have had the ambition to knit it for my own child!

The mural
This is not my original artwork- I saw this mural online and fell in love
with it. Here's the link-

I simplified it a little by not outlining it in a contrasting color. It was
hard enough to paint it on our plaster walls. I free-hand sketched it, then
used latex wall paint to paint it on. It took like five different work
sessions to complete. I did it over the course of a week. I am quite happy
with how it turned out. I just have to fill in the bird's eye and it will be
completely done.

My favorite part of the room
DH put up the shelves. They are from IKEA. Then I got to decorate. We are
going for a theme of birds and nests. It was so fun to decorate his room!

Up-close on embroidery
Once it was all knitted and sewn together with the flannel and piping it was
time for the embroidery. It wasn't too hard to do all the running stitch,
but some of my French knots wanted to hide in the knitted fabric. Or else my
yarn decided to tangle up on the backside of the blanket.

Baby blanket for our baby on the way
Here it is, all done! It's been done for a few weeks. It's waiting for our
baby to come just like we are!

Tulip socks
I joined a sock yarn club that sends out a new yarn every 2 months with a
pattern. This is the first installment knit up. I think it is called Hill
Country sock club or something like that. I heard about it on my favorite
knitting podcast, Lime n' Violet. It knit up pretty fast since the yarn was
thicker than typical sock yarn.

Knitted reusable shopping bag
This was the Yarnery's free pattern with purchase for Earth Day. I bought
yarn to knit it there. I haven't actually used it yet but I think it is
pretty.
