And So He Grows

Wee Jack now weighs 3 lbs., 3 oz.

From this




To this



Almost two handfuls!  And Megan and Drew now get to hold him for 30 minutes twice a day!

Yesterday was the baby shower, and of course, I left my camera on the table again, so I will have to hijack pictures from Amelia.  Wee Jack will be in sartorial splendor when he gets big enough to wear newborn clothes, and boy, the clothes for little boys are so much cuter now.

Work on the boro jacket continues.



I really need to get back to the white on white project, but for some reason, when I go upstairs, I pick up this to work on.  At least I am working again.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

  2. liniecat - He is a fighter; his grandmother is so proud of the way he moves around and bats at the hands that try to adjust his tubes, even when they are being removed so he can be held. An independent spirit already!

    I'm enjoying working on the jacket...it is a kind of mindless but soothing process to choose the scraps and sew them down. Thanks for the nice comment!

  4. Suz - For such a little fellow, Jack has shown such great spirit! He is a precious gift to his mom and dad.

    It wouldn't take much fabric to make his a jacket-- :) His great grandmother used a doll pattern to make him a little heirloom outfit with tiny tucks.
