My little baby boy seems to be in a hurry to grow up. At 13 weeks he had grown an average of 1 cm per week. At 22 weeks he had grown 19 cm!! I am starting to wonder if I have some kind of superwoman milk.
It is not just that he is growing quickly. Before he reached the five month mark he started pushing himself forward. So again I have an early crawler. My little girl started at four and half months. He isn’t getting very far yet but I quickly found out that I need to watch him a bit closer than before. I went to get some water and found him inside the TV bench when I came back. So much for sitting back and enjoying my coffee… Thankfully we learned our lesson from last time and bought a baby jail 🙂 .
I am in a bit of a panic. My baby is growing up quickly and soon I will have a little boy and no baby. I have been frantically making him some baby clothes since this is my last chance until in maybe 30 years when I might become a grandmother. As he is a rather fuzzy baby that doesn’t nap for more than 30-45 minutes at a time this is rather challenging. I have however managed to make a couple of things in size 74 and I now feel a bit calmer. Well, now I am panicking that I need to make my little girl some dresses before she is too big for little girl dresses but that is another story.
The patterns I used for the body suit is from Ottobre 4/2014. I don’t recommend that pattern as the sleeves simply didn’t fit. I had to cut off the sides of the front and back piece so they fit. Because of that the body suit is a bit of a slim fit. The pants are from the Norwegian stretch pattern bible also known as “The Book” amongst people that sew in Norway. The books is called Heilt Spesiell og Jubel – Sy glade klær til glade barn and the pattern is called “Brun Bukse”. I like the fit of that pattern.
The polar bear fabric is Artic from JNY bought from Olivias and the Stretch jeans fabric is from Olivias as well.
As it is Animal themed Kid’s clothes week I am submitting it as that as well even if I made it a week ahead. Unable to participate this week.
The little fellow is still slow enough to be a good photo model even if he has a tendency to chew on the background and move it around.
His sister joined at some point and had to cuddle him a bit. He seems to be enjoying the attention.
