baby practice & another project

Last night we got to have some baby practice!! Chad & Julie asked us to babysit baby Miles, and it was sooo fun. It made us even more excited for our little guy to come- and we realized we still have some things to learn about babies...

• we knew that they slept a lot, but we really were able to witness it last night
• changing their diapers is kinda hard- his little legs are bunched up so tight, so you have to stretch them out, but then he quickly forms back into a little ball again before you can do much cleaning!
  
• Babies randomly hold their breath and choke for a bit on their own air- I guess you can't blame them, this little guy has only been breathing air for about 8 weeks! But it sure gives us a scare when his little face gets all red
• Babies have little nightmares, not sure what about... maybe about losing a binki? But little Miles would be asleep and then quickly squirm and raise his hands above his head and whimper- it's pretty dang cute
• Lastly, I learned that our baby (the one still in my tummy) is a jealous little guy! Every time I would hold Miles our little guy would kick/jab his little cousin from inside my tummy! Is it to early to teach our baby manners?! :)
  

I already knew this about Brett, but he truly is the baby whisperer. Babies love him. And he is such a natural with them, and knows what to do.
I know he's going to be the best dad.

Onto my latest project!!
I bought the fabric for this a while ago, but was a little hesitant to actually sew and complete it. Cuz I knew with this one, I couldn't mess up as much and not mind, like I did on some burp rags I made- I mean hey, they're just burp rags, so who cares if some stitching is off- right?
But a car seat cover goes in public- a lot! So I knew I'd have to be patient and take my time, which is something that I sometimes have issues with when it comes to projects.
So I did it over 2 days, to be sure I'd be extra patient. :)
I really like it- and although their are a few minor errors, if you look close- I gave it my best.

The underside of the blue is just a white fabric. I love the polka dots on our car seat, so I wanted to keep it simple.
