The Grumple

Those who know Josh well know he is a fan of The Simpsons. One of the episodes starts off with the Simpsons going to Krusty's Krismas on Ice, which tells the story of the Grumple (a parody of Dr. Suess' the Grinch.) At one point in the episode the Grumple is seen standing outside the Simpson's home saying "Grumpily Grumpily Groo! Your blood will make my stew!" Skyler is quite grumpy at times and has been given a few new nicknames because of it - the Grumple, Grumpily Groo or just Groo.

Our Grumple

Sleep Sack

A month or two ago we stopped swaddling Skyler when we put her to bed. I noticed when I changed her diaper in the morning she was almost always cold. I checked around online and found this pattern by McCall's for baby sleep sacks. I bought the pattern, some fabric and a zipper at Joann's and made a sleep sack that night.
I have only had time to make one, but I have some pink camouflage fleece and a matching zipper to make a second one. It was so quick and easy to make, and I'm glad Skyler doesn't get cold at night anymore. We don't need to use it every night, but we have definitely gotten a lot of use out of it.

Fun at the Park

Last night we went to the park for a BBQ with some friends. It was nice to get out and spend time with good company. As usual, Skyler just tried to eat everything she could get her hands on.
