Picture Tuesday 11 weeks

Not so little anymore. He keeps growing. I really have asked him to stop but he just keeps getting bigger. He's started to notice things a little bit further away from him this week and it's so fun to watch. We'll go for walks in his stroller and when we pass underneath a tree his eyes get really big and he holds really still as if he's trying to figure it out and take it all in. It's so cute.

This picture is for Nanna. She sent Tate some cute outfits. I wasn't big into overalls before little man came along. But how cute are these? I think Tate loves them as much as I do.
Here he is with his daddy at Dr. Fisher's (one of Glenn's professors) ranch North of Austin. We went there for an end-of-the-semester barbecue last weekend. I met some of Glenn's classmates. I must say, my husband is by far the coolest of the geology students that I've met so far. Of course, that's just my opinion.Here are Tate and I at the radiologist's office yesterday. Glenn thought Tate needed to try on his hat.Glenn has been really busy the past week and will be really busy this week finishing up his final projects, papers, and presentations. His very last deadline is this Thursday at midnight so after that he'll be done with his first year of graduate school. That went really fast. Only one more year. Then this weekend we'll be moving (as little as possible) and heading to Houston for the summer.

I've been working on a few little crafty projects this past week. A friend of mine sent me a link to a free bag pattern and I was so excited that it looked simple, had step by step instructions complete with illustrations, and it only required a small amount of fabric. So I bought fabric and made three of them. I'm probably going to keep one and try to sell the others at craft fairs or something. I love the pleats in the front and the fun contrasting color and pocket inside. I even put in magnetic snaps for the first time. Here's the link if anyone's interested:

I also made a couple of applique shirts. This idea came from Aunt Kimber who had a cute applique shirt for little Janie. I thought I'd try some. They'd be cuter with some different floral fabric...but alas, I live in Austin, and it's really hard to find the kind of fabric I want. However, if anyone is looking for sports team or tie dye fabric I can find an abundance here for you. It was fun to have new projects to try this week.
