Ha,ha.. finally captured a picture to show off Leinna's two front teeth! Break out the steak and potatoes! Just kidding- haven't really tried new foods lately, she was kinda fussy with this round of teething, so we stuck with food that I knew she liked. I think we will venture into some new foods this week since she's doing better now that the teeth have come through.
Yep- I'm making Leinna a sweater! This is my first attempt at a sweater. Princess Amelia's mom, Queen Sara, recommended the pattern and it's been a great pattern to follow. I still have the sleeves and hood to do, but those should go pretty quick once a get a quick lesson on some terminology in the pattern.
My goal is to have the sweater completed by the end of March. I figured the body of the sweater was going to take the longest. I started this back in December while in South Dakota. To be honest, I wasn't diligently working on the sweater. However, this is the great thing about knitting is you can pick up the project after a week of abandonment and it's like you never put the project down. I'm making the sweater for an 18 month old so Leinna can wear it big for awhile.
Finally allowed to play in the snow! Last week we had some fresh snow and after a beautiful walk with Papa and the dogs, Papa was just itching to put Leinna in the snow. She loved it and kept trying to roll to her stomach to try and eat the snow.
Here's a view from the hike we took. This is along Heney Ridge trail. I just love how the tree limbs naturally frame the mountain peak! We are having such a mild and beautiful winter here in Cordova. Love, love, love being able to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine!
OMGosh...what a big girl! Love the snow pics! In Norway they tell children that there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing! You are following that tradition and getting her outside as much as possible! Your sweater looks great!
