Peanut is all ready for a stroll!
This to That Quickie
Grandma and Grandpa picked this cute little stroller up for the girls a while back and they love it (and fight over it constantly). The only problem is that the seat kept slipping off the bottom and they would have a complete fit because they couldn't get it back on by them selves. A few rectangles of scrap fabric, a little sewing, and an episode of Mickey Mouse Club House, and I came up with this. No more slipping off, but still removable for washing.
Comic Store Maternity Photos
A few weeks back, my friend Erin was so kind as to take a Saturday and spend it shooting some maternity photos at TATE'S Comics+Videos+Toys+More. Here are a few of my favorites!

Thrifty finds
I don't normally come home with a ton of stuff on my thrifting adventures, either because my trip has been cut short by a misbehaving kid, or lack of funds, or guilt about bringing more "junk" into the house or I'm just plain not lucky. But when I do find stuff, it's usually amazing! Yesterday I stopped in Goodwill while Josh waited in the car with the kids. I rushed in looking for clothes for Jasper and came out with a vintage Tupperware Pickle Saver (in Olive Green), a Little Golden Book to add to the collection, and a small vintage planter with working music box attached to the top. Not bad for $3 and change. Then today, I took Cherry with me to Community Thrift (where I had a $5 off coupon from the last time Josh shopped there), again in search of clothes for Jasper and emerged with another Little Golden Book, a Mickey Mouse book, a few onsies and this amazing suspendered outfit that blew my mind. Thanks thrift gods for being kind to me and my wallet!
DIY Fabric Chair "Harness"
So Cherry is getting more and more difficult to get in and out of her high chair. She is too big and too long and besides that, she is showing great interest in sitting in a regular chair at meal time. Time to get out one of the girls old booster seats, but the thought of her sitting and staying put on it made me nervous, so I found this great tutorial on fabric Travel Chair.

And here is what I came up with. It's kinda hard to see how the contraption works, but basically you put the flap up between her legs, then cross the sides over in front (Velcro closure) then the flap folds down over the sides.
We used it at all our meal and snack times today and she loved it. I'm still a little weary of her tipping to the side too much and falling out, so I hover real close, but I think it was a success! Oh, and the little booster seat was another DIY I did back when the girls transitioned from high chairs to regular chairs. The tutorial for the booster seat was also a great one Prudent Baby Blog.
