Natalie is 2 Months Old!

Yesterday my baby girl turned 2 months old.  It really is true that time flies!  She is the sweetest baby in the world, and Travis and I are so blessed to have her in our lives!  Of course, I had another photo shoot with her yesterday to commemorate the occasion.  Here is the product:

She has grown so much in the past month!  I'm already packing some of her clothes into a box because she can't fit into them any more.  How sad is that?  haha!

Hats, Hats, Hats

I'm not obsessed with crocheting hats.  Really, I'm not!  :)  It just turns out that the only hat that fits Natalie now is the grey one that I made for her last week.  So I decided to make her another one, so she'd have 2 to rotate.

The pattern for this hat can be found here, and the flower is the large "closed" rose found here.

Unfortunately, it turned out slightly too big, so she'll have to wait a bit before she can wear it.  Sooo.... I had to make another hat.  :-P

This earflap hat pattern can be found right here, and I took the coloring pattern, as well as the "loopy flower" from here. The only alterations I made to this pattern was to add an extra row of double crochets before adding the earflaps.

When I tried to take a picture of Natalie wearing her awesome new hat, she would have none of it.  haha!  Poor baby!  I took a few pictures of her anyway.  I think she's so cute even when she cries!

She was just sleepy, so after she fell asleep, I put the hat back on her and took one more picture.  :)

This last hat is one that I made for myself a long time ago, I just never got around to putting it on the blog.  Sorry, you don't get a picture of me wearing it.  I'll have to fix myself up some day before I post my own picture on here.  ha!

The pattern can be found here.

I made it so long ago that I don't remember if I changed anything.  I think that perhaps I didn't do as many repeats of the pattern as she suggested, since it already fit my head nicely without the extra rows.  Unfortunately, we don't live in a part of the world that requires warm head gear very often, so I haven't even worn it in public yet.  Some day!  ;)

Open Stitch Baby Hat

Surprisingly enough, Natalie doesn't have many hats that fit her.  Luckily I know how to crochet and have TONS of yarn!  ;)  I made her a new hat a week or so ago, and she finally had a chance to wear it yesterday.  The pattern I used can be found right here.

I love this sweet baby!
