Yankees, Ducks & Bed

• We got to go to a Staten Island Yankees baseball game over Labor Day weekend. They are the local minor league baseball team. The stadium overlooks the water and you can see the Manhattan skyline. It was beautiful, and we had lots of fun all together!
• Matthew finally figured out how to climb out of his crib, so we've been making the transition to a bed. Last week I didn't think he would ever learn to stay in bed, but it is going pretty well now.
  
• We live a few blocks from a beautiful park with lakes and ducks. We love to go for walks and runs around the lake. Matthew talks about ducks and geese pretty much all day, every day. Those, and his Thomas & Percy trains, are his favorite things right now.
  

Tiny Clothes

I've been sewing a lot the past few weeks. It all started when my mom showed up with stacks of beautiful fabric and tiny dress patterns.

We used these free patterns that we found online, and then made up some of our own, too. Most things were a bit too small or a bit too big, but by the end we got it about right. I've had to stop myself from making any more teeny clothes. She's growing fast, so I'll save some fabric for the next bigger size.
