Buzz!

Here is our little bee! Actually, he is quite a big bee. Thanks, Grandma, for the costume. Hopefully we'll be able to use it for a future little bee. :) Matthew sure has been buzzing around lately, as in he's been experimenting with his vocal chords. He's "blowing raspberries" now, as well as shieking for fun, saying "oooh" and making other interesting noises. Pat and I get a real kick out of it all. He's also been pretty fussy this weekend. I really think that he's teething because he's constantly chewing on his tongue and whatever other object he can put in his mouth. He just wants to nurse ALL of the time, and because of that he's spitting up a lot. Naptime is also a cry-fest when it wasn't before. Poor little guy. I wish I knew how to help him feel better.

In other exciting news, Pat and I finally rearranged our living room yesterday. We have a funky-spaced living room that doesn't leave us many options, but I think that we may have found a better arrangement. It's cozier now and the sofas and chair are facing each other instead of the TV, which I really like. Pat, on the other hand, is still warming up to it. :)

Here are some FOs: Fetching and Wavy Fingerless Mitts from One Skein Wonders (thanks, mom, for being a great hand-model!). I had fun making both, and one is a gift. It always feels good to have completed projects, especially when one is for someone else! I'm about 2/3 of the way done with Matthew's longies, and I'm really anxious to finish them. They already look so cute and cozy! I read some articles on "stripping" clothe diapers, so I think that I'll try that so we can use his diapers again. It's just amazing how many disposables we've already gone through. I don't think that people should feel guilty for using disposables because I know that every situation is different, but I personally do. Plus, I love my clothe diapers and the adorable covers I have for them. Hopefully you won't have to hear me discuss my clothe diaper troubles after this week!
