The Long Awaited Fuzzy Duckling Quilt

fuzzy duckling quilt

Before Mil was born, I picked out a lovely collection of fabric to make her a quilt. It was a big stack of mixed prints, and the Little Golden Books Fuzzy Duckling Panel. I had the whole thing pieced and ready to baste, but she showed up a week earlier than expected (which was extra…

Tech and the Two-Year-Old

I’m the mom that bought her two-year-old a tablet. Granted, there’s lots of research out there about how it’s a terrible idea for your young child to be in front of a screen all the time, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some good apps out there to help her developing brain. — And,…

Mildred Jane is 2!

Our tiny human had her 2nd birthday yesterday. Maybe it’s the lack of hair, or that she’s not consistently sleeping through the night yet, but it’s a bit hard to believe that she’s already 2. Milli is a fabulously smart and loving little girl. She loves to give everyone hugs and cuddles (especially mommy and…

Mildred Jane @ 23 Months

It’s a bit hard to believe, but Milli will be 2-years-old in just a month. At 30-inches tall, she’s still a tiny thing, but she’s becoming quite the big girl anyway. Mil’s latest obsession is Woody from the Toy Story movies. Her sitter got Buzz and Woody dolls for Christmas and she’s been obsessing over…

Mildred Jane @ 22 Months

We’re getting closer and closer to 2 years every day, and Milli is starting to show it, even if she isn’t getting much bigger. I weighed her last night as we’re still not quite 22lbs. There is seriously a 6-month-old baby at the sitter who is as big as her. But that’s OK. Mil packs…

Mildred Jane @ 21 Months

Milli is 21 months old today.  That’s 1 and 3/4 of a year!  Milli’s went on 2 big trips in the last month, going on a trip all the way to Shepardsville, KY and back for Thanksgiving, and to Bardstown, KY and back for her great-grandmother’s 90th birthday. Mil has also been a big helper…

Mildred Jane @ 20 Months

Mildred is growing up, a little at a time. In the last month, she’s done a lot better communicating what she wants with words instead of just crying until I figure out what she wants. I think Milli might be going thru a growth spurt, because she’s been wanting to eat constantly for the last…

A Gift from Cracker Barrel

A while back, I wrote an update on Mildred for her 18-month birthday.  In that update, I mentioned that Milli had her 1st visit to Cracker Barrel and how much she liked it. One of Cracker Barrel’s toy buyers came across the post, and sent a lovely email to me and an offer to send…

Mildred Jane @ 19 Months

Mildred turned 19-months-old on Wednesday.  It’s been a pretty quiet month for her, with lots of time home with mom while dad has been in the field farming.  She has gained 2 new bottom teeth in the front, and her 1st two top molars are about halfway though.  It’s made for some fussy nights over…
