Timpanda Baby: Fear the Turtle

Tim headed off to Boston today with his dad to hear/see Matt play with the Boston Symphony. (Very cool!) As much as I know taking a baby to a concert is a bad idea, I was a little bummed not to go too. But today turned out to be a pretty nice day. The weather was gor-geous!!

Isabelle fell asleep after lunch and rather than use that time to clean the kitchen or sort the entire week's worth of mail on the dining room table, I decided to sew. I saw this awesome tutorial on Prudent Baby this week and had just put an old shirt in the sewing pile to make something for Isabelle. So I got to work. She, of course, woke up before I was done so onto a blanket next to the sewing machine she went. All was good until she decided she either didn't like the sound of my sewing machine or she didn't like that I wasn't paying attention to her. Crying...tears...sort of like when I play violin or viola for her. (That's another story for another day....actually that is the story...it makes me a little sad...) Anyway, she liked it much better sitting on my lap while I sewed so she could see what I was doing.

So, a shirt that I bought at CVS on the way to a UMD football game during my sophomore year because I was too cheep to walk across the street and buy a more expensive shirt from the Book Exchange is now an adorable little dress on my chubby little girl.

Don't you just want to take a bite out of those chubby little arms?? More adorable pictures from our afternoon on the lawn as soon as my camera decides to actually load them onto my computer...
