Oh I love how they turned out! Yup, this is the best shot I could get!* Tatem's eyes are closed because she scratched her cornea this week. That was 2 trips to the doctor and one trip for PT this week for Tatem. Oh, and there was a trip to urgent care this week for Landrie because she spiked a 104 fever and couldn't stop shaking. The corneal abrasion and ear infection are all healed now, but Landrie's great at sharing, and she passed on her cold to Tatem and me!
Oh, and because everyone's favorite part is the bloopers, here are the ones that did NOT make the cut. :)
Oh my! I can't even think of a caption for this one!
"Come on, Mom! Are you done yet??"
Who is she glaring at?? I'm just glad it's not me!!
A little TOO much sister love here!
I took a few of just Landrie while Tatem napped.
In case you want to attempt this for a little one you love, here's a little tutorial! I got the iron-on adhesive at Walmart in the fabric department and directions on exactly how to use it are on the package. That stuff is amazing!! I just cut the girls' initials out of the polka dot fabric and used the iron-on adhesive on the back. After doing this with a few projects, I found that I can get a much fatter letter if I just free hand it! I've tried printing out a letter from the computer, but they are always too skinny.
I ironed the polka dot letters on to a square of brown fabric, then ironed some adhesive on to the back of the brown fabric too. I cut around the letter so a tiny bit of brown shows. Then I peeled the paper off the back of the brown, ironed the whole thing to a shirt, and stitched around the edges with my machine. It'll fray a bit as I wash it.
Then I just sewed a little ruffle on the bottom! I've made them before for baby gifts using a onesie. I just just a little skirt instead of a ruffle and put it at the waist of the onesie. So fun!
Whew! It's been a crazy week this week. In addition to all the illness and injury, Tatem learned how to roll on to her back while swaddled! Ahh! Then she just lays in her crib like an overturned turtle screaming until we flip her back over. As I flopped into bed last night, exhausted, I couldn't help but think back to a time not too long ago. I used to sleep any time I wanted, and I hardly ever went to a doctor. Back then, I used to lay down for bed and dream of having a crazy life with a bunch of babies. You know what? I wouldn't trade this craziness for anything!!
*I went back and looked on Pinterest, and that clever girl took individual shots of her daughters and put them side by side. Pretty sneaky! I'll have to remember that one!
