9 months old

Lilah is now 9 months old! She's crawling like a champ, pulling up to a stand with ease and has two little bottom teeth coming in. Oh, and she's a pretty little lady ...

dress of the day

We had so much fun today! A Friday and Jeff and I both had the day off. I started and made the dress Lilah is wearing today. It was a women's turtleneck shirt. I made it a bit too long so gathered up the sides with "roses" which look more like fabric wads due to my poor sewing skills but, oh well. I also put mini roses by the straps, which I need to redo because they're a bit too long so I think I'll cross them in back and they'll be perfect.

first doll

I made my first doll and it's Lilah's first doll! The doll is in pretty sad shape if you look too close but Lilah doesn't seem to care.

first refashion attempt

I was given a LOT of cute baby girl clothes by a friend. One of them was the cute romper pictured above. Given Jeff's dislike of rompers and that it's starting to get cooler out (for now, anyway), I decided to see if I could refashion it into a little shirt for Lilah instead. It's not a great sewing job by any means but I did it!

baby behind bars

Lilah's crawling! We had to use the baby gate for the first time today as she scooted around the house.

growing in a garden

I had to do it! Lilah's almost 8 months old here. Growing so fast ...

So fun! Lilah at 7 months ...
