a bow tie!!

I am in love, seriously in love with Jays bow tie!

I saw a pattern to make a bow tie online a few months back and decided that aside from my lack of sewing skills (I am not an exact or calculated person- ask my husband) nothing was stopping me from making one!  So I decided to ask my Mom to borrow her sewing machine, purchased a bit of adorable fabric and gosh darn it if I didn’t make a bow tie!  Please don’t let this give you the false impression that I can really sew, the lines aren’t quite straight and I really, really need to invest in a seam ripper, I just can simply get by in the sewing department… either way I love the end result and you can bet that there will be more!

the stats and a video

Okay here are the stats, you all can stop holding your breath :-)

Height: 28 1/2 inches long

Weight: 18 lbs It seems as though he didn’t gain five pounds after being on the cruise even though he ate his weight and then some in food…

Teeth: still just 6. Man do they have a way of tricking you- I thought for sure that the other bottom two would have popped through by now

Hair: still red, still curly and getting longer as we speak.

Here’s a little video from after the 10 month shoot.  I will warn all that are not immediate family or gushing grandparents- it is not a wondrous or spectacular video (actually it might be quite boring for some); however, you don’t have to watch – we’ll never know.  It is being posted for those of you who don’t get to see the day to day and so I can look back later and be amazed at how little he was…

It’s a little bit of silly noise making, crawling, playing with Dad,  laughing, waving, staring out the window and pointing- enjoy (and please excuse the background laughing)!
