A couple steps and some homemade pants

Porter started taking some steps on his own yesterday. He is definitely trying to run before he walks. He falls down, turns around and crawls back for Travis to stand him up again. And he gets REALLY excited and hyper from playing like this.








And my next project has nothing to do with Porter walking. I am just too lazy to do 2 posts.

Now that my belly is growing, pants are uncomfortable again. I think it is the worst this time because of the C-Section. It definitely feels different and more sore then before. My maternity pants are too big (I still wear them all the time) and my regular pants are waaay too small. Solution... capri pants made from a comfy, big, tshirt! They sit really low, which could cause problems, but right now I don't care. They don't touch my belly and are stretchy. I don't know how to sew so I am sure they will fall apart in no time. That is ok, because I have a plethora of old t shirts and they only took me a couple of minutes.

I made the waistband out of a different old tshirt (oddly that was a cubs tshirt too) and tucked in my shirt so you can see how low they sit.





I am going to be wearing these around all day while running errands. Aaaaahhhhh... comfort!

And these pictures are not cute. It is hard to take pictures of the pants you are wearing, by yourself.

Did you attach the "shirt" part to pants you already had? Or make the pants? You are so creative!
