Happy Thirteenth Month Georgia!

This is the doll I made for Georgia for her first birthday. I finally finished it on March 27... only one whole month late. Not too bad I guess. Even though I started her in January. I swear, I am the slowest knitter of all time. But, I am ridiculously in love with this doll. I got the idea from this beautiful blog... then bought the pattern from this fabulous Etsy seller. Too cool, huh? ;-) I want to make more of these beautiful dolls, now that I've got this one done. This is the first project I've ever had to seam my knitting. I did horribly, and I need more practice. I think an army of these lovely dolls, would be the perfect way to do it. Or maybe, I'll get brave and finally try my hand at a sweater.

Speaking of sweaters. This one of Georgia's was my FAVORITE article of her clothing. I am so devastatingly sad that it doesn't fit her any longer. I had been squeezing her into it for some time. I don't think she was entirely comfortable the last few times I made her wear it. It has had to be officially washed and put away for our next daughter. I miss it already.

This is the last time she wore it comfortably. Doesn't it look cute with her little mama-made leg warmers? Anyway, putting this sweater away was like boxing up the last of Georgie's babyhood. Every second that ticks by she becomes more and more a toddler. This week she has mastered the word "no." She walks around telling everyone "No no no!" It's like she's thirteen months going on thirteen years.
