otto gets lucky
Lookie, lookie, Otto the Owl has eyes now! (Okay, all of you who have knit this pattern before, I'll admit it, I forgot to give him his nose. I know. I totally missed it on the chart. Doh! I'll go back and add it later.) Otto owes all of his progress to wee one, who did this yesterday.
Yes, it's a nap. Our very first I'm-laying-you-down-awake-in-your-bed-because-it's-naptime nap. Hallelujah! posted by alison at 9:30 am | in

She looks like naptime is the best time in the world! Posted by: Seanna Lea at May 3, 2007 11:24 AMCongratulations on nap time for the wee one! Wouldn't be wonderful if everyone had nap time. Posted by: Gayle at May 3, 2007 11:27 AMWhat a good girl! It's time for you to start feeling a bit more human again, remember hobbies, remember me time, remember washing dishes??? YEAH! Posted by: Johanna at May 3, 2007 11:30 AMJeeze, June is over 3 months old and I have yet to successfully put her down for a nap while awake! You're so lucky! Posted by: Bertha at May 3, 2007 11:51 AMOh, congratulations! There's nothing like naptime--I got all the way through law school on naptime (it makes you very efficient). Enjoy your new freedom! Posted by: Suzanne at May 3, 2007 12:10 PMI can hear the hallelujah choruses from here! Congratulations on the nap! :) The owl looks great! I never would have noticed the missing nose. LOL Posted by: Samantha at May 3, 2007 12:40 PMOh how wonderful to be "there" with sweet Baby L!! Hooray for Mommy time! Hooray! My Charmed Knits book should be here any time now! hehe I can't wait to browse through! Posted by: Laura at May 3, 2007 1:07 PMNaps are a beautiful thing - and hands free ones, even sweeter! Posted by: Sonya at May 3, 2007 1:24 PMShe looks so sweet! I love the blankets you made for your children; they're just beautiful! Posted by: Jen S at May 3, 2007 1:32 PMHurray for naptime! Otto's lookin' good :) Posted by: pennie at May 3, 2007 1:54 PMShe looks like a little angel- what a wonderful sight- and sleeping, at that! I really can't believe you can get any knitting done- absolutely amazing! Posted by: Cynthia at May 3, 2007 2:27 PMYay for naptime! Maybe Otto doesn't need a nose, heheh. Posted by: C at May 3, 2007 2:39 PMIsn't that the best feeling when you close that door and stand in the hall for a moment holding your breath and then you realize that it worked and yes you do have TIME to do something. I usually ended up sitting. If there was knitting within arms reach all the better. Posted by: MommyknitsJen at May 3, 2007 3:15 PMHUGE congratulations on the nap! I know what a big thing that is. Wishing you and the little one many, many more peaceful sleeps to come :-) Posted by: Kathy at May 3, 2007 3:52 PMNapping Baby gets as "awwwww..." on the cute-o-meter! I think Otto would make a great back to a kid's sweater. Posted by: Dava at May 3, 2007 5:42 PMSweet sweet baby girl. Posted by: Donna S. at May 3, 2007 6:19 PMYay for nap time! I still can't post on the Sockapalooza blog. I've been trying for two days, and I keep getting an error message. :( Posted by: Sheri at May 3, 2007 6:39 PMI love how babies sleep with their arms up - my daughter did that too. Cute owl! Posted by: Asa at May 3, 2007 7:29 PMah naps. I remember those. back before finals....
Love the blankie. (Baby is darling, too!) Have decided to make the same blankie, in different colors, for one of my girls. Thanks for the inspiration! Posted by: marilyn at May 4, 2007 2:15 AMAwesome knitting. Adorable twin boys. Sweetest little baby. And you also got her to nap? My DS is two and I still havent managed that! What an awesome Mama! Posted by: kern at May 4, 2007 11:01 AMYou're a better mom than I am! I never got my daughter to do that. She's 8 now, so I think my use of the word "never" is justified. Cute owl, too! Posted by: Mary Beth at May 4, 2007 11:47 AMThe beginning of a lifetime tradition. At any age there is nothing more treasured than the opportunity to take a short nap. The only thing better would be to nap with Owl. Come on Mom, finish fast! Posted by: Katherine at May 5, 2007 8:09 AMOh that is such a precious photo! |
