She also gave Isaac a few Star Wars books, which was apparently shocking to him!:
This was Victoria's first experience unwrapping gifts, and as predicted, she continued her love affair with paper by attempting to eat the ribbon, the wrapping paper, and evenutally, the paper itself. We know this is pretty standard six-month -old behavior, but it does not discount one ounce of the cuteness involved.
Now many of you know that while I will never win any 4H awards for home-making, I am pretty decent with cooking and cleaning and decorating, etc... I am however severely delayed in one specific arena of domesticity: my sewing skills. I could not sew one blasted thing. I had to have Matt sew the buttons back on my shirts. So, a few years ago, I was determined to figure this thing out and increase my skill set. I bought fabric to make Daphne's bedding for her room. Matt's mom and sister helped quite a bit, and eventually I had made ( with my own two hands) Daphne's bedding. I was quite proud of myself. So, although I am now moderately operational with a sewing machine, I still have not improved any of my mending skills. I set torn seams and lost buttons aside and my wonderful and very masculine husband fixes them whenever he can. We have the most measely sewing kit imaginable and Matt was using mix-matched thread, etc..., so my Mom stepped in and bought him a much nicer sewing kit for a little Christmas gift. My Hero!
