Caleb's been have difficulty sleeping in our new house in a new bed.
His solution...
After we say goodnight, turn off the light, and leave the room, Caleb hops out of his own bed and goes into Josh's. Josh doesn't mind. Nate or I often move Caleb back to his own bed, but it's not uncommon for me to find Caleb back in Josh's bed the next morning.
I took this picture of Esther right after she rolled over for the first time from back to stomach. Unfortunately, she hasn't done it since.

I made a skirt out of a round table cloth. I used the directions found in the book, Sew What! Skirts: 16 Simple Styles You Can Make with Fabulous Fabrics. The author is all about sewing without patterns. I highly recommend checking it out from the library to anyone who's interested. I'm sure glad my library had it. Once I can't renew it again, I'm definitely putting it on hold again later if I still haven't bought it yet.
First you fold the table cloth twice. Next, you cut out a wedge with a radius equal to your hip measurement divided by 6. Then, you put on store bought or homemade double-fold bias tape as a waistband, making sure the bias tape is ultimately 1/4 in larger than your elastic band of choice. Finally, you put in the elastic band and Voila! A Skirt! (Yes, the book explains it A LOT better)
I spent roughly under 3 dollars for this skirt. Maybe that's all it's really worth, even less, but it was fun and a good learning experience. Something I can do for my girl.
