Now that my son is older, I have more time for crafts again. Yay! Since he is quite the messy toddler, I decided to sew a stroller cover for him. Now rather than having to wash the stroller pad (which is rather cumbersome to take apart and then put back together again after the wash), I can simply wash the stroller cover that I made. I am happy with the results and I am thinking of making one for the car seat too.

I have also been working on a few other sewing projects. I am hoping to post a small tutorial on how to make an easy bunny softie later.

I have also realized that my knitting has not progressed much. I never managed to finish that baby sweater I was supposed to start on before the baby was born. I also have an unfinished baby scarf lying around in my knitting bag. Hopefully I can finish the scarf before winter rolls around and maybe I will eventually start on the baby sweater for kid #2 (whenever that will happen).

We gave my son a buzz cut today. He looks so much older with his new hairdo! It’s hard to believe that he’s already 14 months now. Kids grow so fast! I cannot believe that he was a tiny little baby a year ago, and now he’s an overactive toddler that just cannot stop moving. He’s a totally fun kid, but he can also throw some pretty bad tantrums when he is in a bad mood. I hope he grows out of them eventually *_*. BTW, anybody know of any good books on disciplining small children?

Anyhow, I will end this post with a picture of my son “before” his haircut, and another picture of him getting his hair cut by his daddy. Thanks for reading!

We submitted a picture of Solomon and his “licked toy” to LickedToys and won a free eco-toy from PawLuxury. The toy arrived in a hurry and also came with some nice treats for the dog. Thank you PawLuxury for making a little dog very happy!

He may not look like it, but Solomon is actually a very happy dog with his new toy. He likes how it squeaks, and we like how it’s friendly to the environment!

P.S. I have noticed that I have a bug in my Wordpress blog where entries are duped when you try to comment or view the entry in a separate page (the About Me page is also messed up). I’ve tried looking at the PHP code in the theme editor but I do not see anything obvious. Argh. I will perhaps get the hubby to fix it for me since he is the PHP pro.

I’m going to the New Kids on the Block concert in November with some of my girlfriends!

I feel like a high school girl again. It’s going to be so fun .

Seems like ages since my last update. I guess with going back to work and being a busy wife & mommy, it’s hard to update. Does anybody read this anyway? BTW, I have been getting a load of SPAM postings these days. How the heck did these people get to my tiny blog anyway??? Good thing that I moderate my comments. I wish Wordpress had a better way of filtering spam postings…

Anyhow, things have been dandy in my life. The babe is growing fast and he will no longer be a babe anymore. He isn’t walking quite yet but can stand for a significant amount of time and can cruise around pretty well. I think once they start walking you start to call them a toddler instead of an infant. He is almost going to be 1 years old soon. Time really flies once you have kids. He is one crazy & fun kid. It’s been a challenge taking care of him but it’s also been a blessing having him in my life.

I have also been back at work for over a month now. Yes, I went back early. The hubby is taking the rest of the paternal leave. He and the babe (and the dog too) are hanging out together during the weekdays. The boys have been having a good time bonding with each other.

Oh, we also moved into a house! Yes, that is rather big news isn’t it? We moved into our big home 2 weeks ago. Still busy unpacking. Another reason why I barely have time to go on the internet anymore (at least not in the evenings). We have a lot more space for the kid, the dog, and everybody else. I also get to have my own sewing room! Woohoo! I used to just use my sewing machine on our dinning table and would always have to put it away after I had finished a project or if we needed to eat on the table. Now I can just leave my messy sewing projects around until I’m done and not have to pack up and unpack my sewing stuff all the time. I am pleased about that . However, it will be a while before I can start sewing again. I have all these projects I want to start on but I really should clean up our house and settle in before I get distracted with sewing projects.

Maybe I will post some pictures of the house next time I update. Thanks for reading!
