A New Reason to Make Bows

So I'd kindof fallen off the bow-making bandwagon since oldest daughter refuses to wear them. Sorta takes the wind out of your crafty sails when your SUPER CUTE crafts are underappreciated and removed from very cute placement on the head mere minutes after an attempt at a hair-do. BUT, last night I realized two very important things!!

1) Bridget can't yet refuse to wear hair-bows
and
2) She also can't remove them herself!!!

And as long as I don't make them toooooooo gargantuan, Bryce won't murmur, either! I pulled out my bag of ribbons last night and started making plans. When you have a head this adorable on which to place bows... I mean, really, can you blame me?!
Snapped these before church this morning. Today was the Primary program and Sophie did a stellar job of singing at the top of her lungs and waving at us the entire time. :)

And many of you already know, but Aunt Renee has been here this week and we have LOVED having her here!! I felt a bit sheepish about having her come at first. And while, yes, I am sure we would have technically survived without her presence... she has made the newborn transition so much more enjoyable. For all of us!! So call me a wimp if you want to, but she's made what could/would have been a more stressful time into a fun time! Plus, we just love having her around. There have been lots of games of hide-and-seek and tag, lots of playdough animals formed, pictures drawn and puppets made, trips to the park, etc. etc. A visit from Aunt Renee following a visit from Grandma (which I have NO pics from...?!) -- Sophie and Travis are going to think having a new baby around is the best thing ever! She's made catnaps during the day feasible and for that alone I THANK YOU, RENEE!!!! It sure makes our current nighttime routine easier when I can catch a couple zzz's during the day. We have all loved having her here - and dearly hope the feeling is mutual...!! :)

Buddies :)
Renee's awesome playdough animalsme and the wee oneta-ta for now!

Bridget + bows = beautiful baby

Isn't Renee such a great helper? She was a gem to have here (and I only have 1 baby,so you're definitely not a wimp with help on #3)!

Bridget is beautiful. I love seeing your family of three! Can we have bow making parties this summer? I was just starting to feel the bug again myself. Congrats again on such a beautiful little one.

Bridget is SO adorable!!! Ahh.. I miss you guys! The bows are amazing. It is a wonderful thing when they don't take them out (or have an opinion about which one they want to wear!).
