Some baby crafts

So I look at all things baby at stores and online, and realize 1) Holy, expensive... for the 3 months baby will use item. 2) Where's the boy stuff at????
I've decided to make a few things for my little Oliver. 

I can not get over how adorable these "Toms" are!! They fit him perfectly right now, so I will have to go buy more fabric and make ones slightly larger.

I can't recall if I posted about my cart cover or not, but I'm in love with it. I love taking him shopping now that he can sit up by himself. He can keep busy by either looking around at all of the things to buy, or play with some of his toys attached by the tags.

I had some towels I received as a Christmas gift from my mom a few years back that were perfect for our Master Bath. Except they weren't very absorbent. Super soft and fluffy, though! So I thought to change them into baby hooded towels. Grabbed the hand towel and sewed it onto the center of a normal towel, and Voila! Got a cute hooded towel that is sooooooo much better than the crappy microfiber hooded towels I got for Oliver earlier!

So Oliver loves to eat his Puffs grandma got for him for Christmas, but how healthy are they? They for sure have tons of ingredients that (to me) are not necessary. My little can do without some of them. So I made some of his favorite combos(sweet potato, carrot, apple, and rice) and dropped it into little bite sized pieces and froze them. They are now sitting in the freezer in a bag, ready for little hands to grab and eat. One of many plus sides? They are cold to help with achy(taking forever) teething gums!

Next on my craft to-do list? Hats for our visit to Maine in a few weeks. Maybe a few matching bibs to help with the drool?  And another pair of "Toms" :) Zeb wanted me to make him a pair too.... Maybe?
Til next time!
