Wow! I'm 7 now!!!!

I had a great birthday yesterday. Mommy hasn't gotten pictures of everything yet but this is the hat she made for me.

Don't I look chic??? This is a hat that one of Mommy's Crochet Designer friends designed. I think that means she made it first and Mommy used her pattern. It's the Flopsy Hat by Vickie Howell  (You can get the pattern HERE and make it yourself!)

One of the presents I was given is a summer-y pink tie-dyed dress that will go great with this hat. I'm going to wear it on Sunday.

I got other goodies too...I now have a new shorts set that was made just for me. It's yellow and black and has lots of polka dots! And it fits perfectly.  Many Kisses Elmo came to live with me too. He's a kissing fool! 

Mommy also got me some neat puzzles and games. And of course she HAD to make me another blanket. 

Mommy said she did a Crab stitch around the edges but I don't see any crabs. And that's probably a good thing.

So now we will see what this next year brings. I have been making some progress with my neck strength so I hope that continues. I got to play on the bouncy balls at therapy last week and I really liked it. I'll get Mommy to bring the camera and take some pictures.

Guess what today is?!?!?!?!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

I turned six years old this morning! Mommy and Daddy and my brother brought surprises in to me this morning! Mommy had given me a Winnie the Pooh birthday balloon yesterday. My brother bought me a HUGE Disney Princess balloon that SINGS!!! REALLY!!! When you tap on the balloon one of the Disney Princesses sings Happy Birthday and she wished that all my birthday wishes come true.


You can see the blanket Mommy made me under the balloon. Then Daddy opened my birthday present. It was wrapped in pink paper and it's a Winnie the Pooh book that talks and has things for me to do. It will be fun for the nurses and me to play with.



Then Mommy brought in cupcakes for the nurses.


I can't have any but my brother was creative enough to make my formula PINK! Now he says the feeding tube blends in with my bed.

EWWWW... go wash your face!!!!

Mom has made me some really soft handmade washcloths. Since they work so nicely and feel so good she thought other people might like them too...

They are wonderfully soft, 100% cotton. Because the are not too terribly large (about 6 inches across), they are great for faces! She can make them round or square. They are $1.50 each or three for $4.00 and mom is going to put the proceeds in my building fund. Just e-mail mom HERE to tell her how many you would like and give her some color ideas (some colors you like and if you prefer variegated or solid). She will get back to you on the possibilities and your total. Shipping will be minimal.

(Mommy can do custom candy bar wrappers and some of her wrapper friends also do gift baskets and decorated paint cans. If any of you do gift baskets or cans, these are great as additions to Spa or New Baby sets.)
