http://littletinsoldier.com/post/123729541615/hzs-10months
July 10, 2015. Henry at 10 months. I meant to share this update at the end of june when something happened— henry began teething! He cut his first bottom tooth and regressed into wanting mama all the time, especially at night. he was crabby and woke up often, making us feel like zombies walking back and forth to his room. You resemble a big boy! You enjoy cruising and crawling and you love to eat. in many ways you’ve become more independent but you still love being carried and hugged by mama...You pro...

July 22, 2015. Make take: bottle rattles. Materials: small voss water bottles (emptied and dried), beads, bells, rice. At school, these bottles are called sensory bottles— we fill them with fun objects (like the ones shown above) or oil and colored water or blue water and plastic fish. at home, these bottles are called noisy toys and henry loves them. You can use any kind of bottle to create a homemade rattle but i chose voss bottles. Tags: make and take. Written and illustrated since 2010. This blog is ...

June 21, 2016. Lovely tuesday: the drawing board. It’s been awhile since i updated my etsy shop, though very humble.

These new cameo portraits are perfect for summer weddings— you can frame them for the bride and groom and include the portrait with a traditional gift like housewares or linens. past clients also said the portraits are a sweet present on their own!

June 09, 2015. Henry at 9 months. Suddenly we have a 9-month-old!

Henry began army crawling around 8 months and just recently full-on crawling! They are tough and withstand his greedy hands. Papa says you’ve been out in the world as long as you were growing in mama. it’s true! At your nine month checkup we learned you&r...

July 16, 2015. Dearest thursday: take a bite. Since henry was four months old, people would ask me, “is he teething? Rdquo; the answer was always no. some babies drool like mad and love to chew— henry would chew on his binkie, soft toys, pacifier clips, and book corners. our pediatrician compliments henry’s good behavior at his checkups and immunizations; my secret is giving him a chew toy to keep him happy. What do your little ones enjoy chewing? Mama and little necklace. Designed by Artur Kim. No part ...

July 15, 2015. Early) dearest thursday: minibag mania. Okay, it’s not thursday, it’s wednesday. but if you’re a slightly nerdy amazon prime member like myself, you may have been waiting for today. it’s prime day! Amazon promised special deals for their prime customers, and they didn’t disappoint. you know me— i browsed the handbag sale first. I don’t have a traditional diaper bag for henry (as noted here. If you’re thinking wow, linda has gone off the deep end. You may be my favorite person ever.
