Golden Snitches

After the cupcakes were frosted (chocolate and vanilla), I used Wilton color mist to add the gold color. Then we added gold sprinkles and either lightning bolts or wings. The lightning and wings were made with colored chocolate and a mold.

I made this one in the newborn size, but it came out big enough for her to wear this year instead.

I bought this yarn back in 2004 to make this sweater for Charlotte. She outgrew the sizes before I got around to it, so I cranked it out for Madelyn. And Madelyn is not actually standing by herself in these pictures; she's just leaning against the wall.

Madelyn had her 9 month check-up back on June 6th and weighed 16 pounds 3 oz, moving her up to the 15th percentile for weight.

Then she got teeth 3 and 4 on the 13th and 15th.

She has become an excellent peek-a-boo player and is working on her crawling technique.

She has also started saying Da-da, blowing kisses, and waving.

This sweater was a huge success; he wears it all the time. He's also requesting that his next sweater be the same pattern only bigger so that he'll have one to wear when he outgrows this one.
