Teaching a baby…

It's the 4th of July and we are all working on something until later today when the party begins. Steve and Chris are working on the bathroom. Lorna worked here a bit and then took the kids to visit her parents – they'll be back later.

I was working on the computer with Bear in his bumbo next to me while Lorna was working. He played with some stacking cups but his coordination is not good enough to hold onto them. It occurred to me that he might really like paper!

I wadded it up so he was less likely to get a paper cut.

Everything goes into the mouth…

I didn't want him to eat the paper – just gum it a little so as it got wet, I gave him a new wad of paper. He was very happy – for several minutes. Doesn't he look happy!

  1. How can you get anything done with such a cutie around? Obviously, he’s one very happy baby!
    Enjoy cause, as you already know, they aren’t babies nearly long enough!

  2. Hmmm. I really admire Piece O’Cake quilting and applique projects, and I was so hoping that the blog would help keep me motivated to get my various applique and quilting projects done. But….it’s not working. I’ve patiently waited through the house renovations, but I think I’m going to move on. Becky, you do beautiful work — quilting and house renovations, but I need inspiration. Thanks for all the past inspiration.

  3. Hi Mona:
    Its true that I dont write about quilting as much as Id like to on the blog. There are so many reasons that are just not obvious from the outside. First, and most importantly, Im working on quilt projects that wont be in print for over a year. I cant show them now. Trust me when I say that I wish I could, but I cant.
    Id like to have the time to come up with inspirational things that I can show on the blog, but that takes time that I dont seem to have. Like so many other women, I have demands on my time that are not quilt-related and it seems worse in the summer. I wonder if thats true for everyone? I know I look forward to fall for more than the cooler weather and the pretty colors. I want my regular life back.
    All that said, your comment is a good reminder to me that I need to write more on-topic posts. Im sorry you wont see them but, if you decide to check back, the archive of posts will be there.
    Happy stitching,
    Becky
