Some of my coworkers are having babies soon so I made them each an infant hat.
I hope they have a sense of humor (and babies with heads smaller than “pumpkin head ” here…) The pattern I used can be found here. I used Lamb’s Pride bulky since I had a lot left over from making everyone in the family Jane hats. I might have to buy the pattern for larger sizes and make one for Elliot with an orange nipple!
And as for the battle on breastfeeding, I’d just like to say the one thing that every nursing mother is really thinking. “Yay! I get to run around in public with my top down and not get in trouble for indecent exposure! Take that Puritan based society values!”
Ha! Not really. I can’t say that I have actually just bared myself in public, but I have breastfeed draped in a restaurant a couple of times. It was either that or take the screaming baby home without me getting to eat. As frequently as babies eat and as disruptive as they can be it is nice to have the option of breastfeeding in public.
In other news, baby Elliot get bigger and more mobile every day. We have started using the size 3 diapers and have purchased a baby gate for the stairs. Yesterday when I got home from work Logan told me that Elliot had managed to launch himself forward while on all fours about a half a foot. He also tells me that on the hardwood floor at Gam Gam and Slappy’s house Elliot can really scoot!
I am really looking forward to when we can start giving him solid food. I think he will really like it. I admit that I have snuck him a little dab of whipped cream and Logan has given him tastes of lemon and meat. We have rice cereal on hand. Now if we can only stand to wait until his 4 month birthday…
Elliot went on a picnic Sunday while mommy was at work. He reportedly slept most of the time.
Here he is resting in his pack and play.
