I hope you're singing that song to yourself now! Isn't it a great one? I sing it to Joseph all the time. I sign the letters as I sing and he always loves to look at my hands moving when I do that. Well, so you're probably wondering how much he gained! Last week when I weighed him he weighed 9lbs 1oz! He had gained a whole pound! I was so excited! It's been a week since then now but I don't know how much he's gained this past week. He's still really little... according to a weight chart I found online he is only in the 3rd percentile for his weight. But the site I read says that the important thing is that their growth stays consistent on whatever percentile line they fall on. Little or not, he is doing so good! He's happy and loves to talk and interacts more with us every day. He's so cute. Okay, I know I talk about him like ALL the time on my blog now... so I'll share with you something else now. After this picture. :) I had John take a picture of us ready to go on a walk so you can see how cute he is. Please ignore my fat face... this is not the most flattering picture of me, but it was the cutest one of Joseph!

So I really love to cross stitch. I've been doing it since I was 9 years old. I think I've mentioned that on here before, but oh well. I took a break from it there for a few months just before Joseph was born and the two months since, but I've taken it back up again and I swear, it is highly addicting for me. I've been working on a project off and on for about two years. It's to do every letter of the alphabet and I hope to sew them into a cute quilt when I'm done. So I'll either have to learn how to quilt or have someone else do it for me... most likely it will be the latter. Each letter has such a different design and they are all super cute! The stitched area of each is 5"x5". Here's the ones I've finished so far:
