Our very first Grandson is here!!!

Our Grandson Owen has made his appearance a bit early! Just like his daddy always in a hurry! He was born 11/18/13 and weighs 5.53 lbs. he wasn't due till Dec. 17. So far he is doing very well, he does have difficulty with breathing but they were able to take the ventilator off today, he is still on a cpap machine to help with the breathing. He has already tried to push himself up on all fours. The doctor says he is a day ahead. One of the hardest things right now is not being able to hold him, I know that the time will soon come but waiting is just a pain!

Anyway here is a pic of our lil miracle grandson with our son Cody.......

Crocheted Stuffs for our grandson

Finally got through the baby shower now I can post pics of everything I have made for our grandson who is due in Dec. Yesterday was an awesome day for our family not only are we getting a grandson we are also getting a daughter. My son surprised her with an engagement ring, and dropped down to one knee. We are so very blessed to be getting such an awesome daughter and are very happy for them both. The hardest part was knowing he was going to propose and not say anything and at the same time I am so glad he told me because I would of been a blubbering mess for sure! I admit I did cry a bit but not as much as I probably would of have if I hadn't known!

On the hats I just used a basic beanie pattern and some just attached earflaps, the diaper covers I used flowers creations pattern and here is the link http://flowerscreations.blogspot.com/2012/05/free-diaper-cover-pattern.html, on the dinosaur hat I used this pattern http://snovej.com/archives/crochet-pattern-babys-dino-hat-with-cape, for the batman hat I crocheted an oval and used Louies Loops batman symbol pattern http://www.louiesloops.com/2012/07/holy-free-pattern-batman.html (for some reason I had some difficulty with this pattern but thankfully he did provide a video tutorial on youtube, I also used his mustache pattern for the mustache hat as we all know its all about the mustache lol http://www.louiesloops.com/2011/09/i-mustache-you-question.html, the Santa hat I used was a Drops pattern this worked up fast!  http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=5340&lang=us#pattern_content

The minion hat hat is once again a basic beanie with double crochet, I put a row of black on the 5th row for the eye strap thing, the eye ball I just winged it, sorry no pattern I just didn't find a pattern I liked as most patterns didn't have the brown in the eye like in the movie, stitched on the half smile and the last row was worked in blue......

Last but not least the owl hat! I used this video I found on youtube my only suggestion is to pin down the eyes and nose, but sew the nose on first lol, I had a bit of a problem with the eyes moving so I had to tack the nose down the best I could. Awesome hat though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAYSltApxLs

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who had made these patterns! I thoroughly enjoyed making them for my first grandson! =)
