Learning the word "No"

No stitching this week. I have a baby shower to go to today so I needed to make a quilt for the new baby.

So, while I was making the baby quilt I decided to make a couple of Christmas quilts.

This week I made doughnuts, the kids loved them. Some had powder sugar on them others I glazed with vanilla and chocolate. I think the chocolate glaze should have been a little thicker.

Brandon and Kayden

Kayden is learning the word "No"!

Kayden is really getting around walking and sometimes he tries to run. It is too funny, because he can't run yet. He just gets excited and tries to move his little legs a little faster, usually he falls down.

Tuesday he was a hand full! He got into the dog food and was eating a piece when I got to him, then he opened up the turtle food and when I was trying to get it picked up he put a piece in his mouth. Then there was the dog bone he kept trying to chew on. I have had to close the door to the downstairs bathroom and keep the basement door shut.
