(Don’t mind his corduroys he has Church slacks, but I need to get him some suspenders so they stay on his skinny self!)

So I finally got a picture of Mister Man in one of his new ties. I am SO going to make him more. they were so easy and turned out (I think) great! Big thank you to my Dad for donating the ties (I didn’t want to spend money on ties and then possibly ruin them!) that I used. I LOVE that Regan’s first ties are his Papa’s old ones. And see his super swank tie clip? That would be his Daddy’s from his mission (He served in Hawaii). It says Aloha on it. Too fun!!! I found it while cleaning and knew it was just the thing to keep a little boys tie up off the ground. Regan is in the 1/2 crawling 1/2 walking phase of life and floors are not meant to be mopped by silk ties! Plus the clip just keeps the tie out of Regan’s way. Perfect!

I combined elements from these two tutorials here and here. I used velcro instead of elastic. Mostly because the elastic didn’t cooperate with me. But I really like the velcro tons. I’ll be on the look out for some fun funky ties to make more cuteness for my little man. They just don’t have fun patterns already made for little men so making my own is what I will be doing. It’s just so easy! Plus clearance ties are way cheaper than buying little ties anyway. Or you could always go the free rout and grab Daddy/Grandpa’s old ones.

Oh, and Dr. K called and let us know (a while ago) that the biopsy’s came back fine! WOO HOO! So it’s just the LNH. And as you can see Regan is gaining weight! The steroids are doing their job beautifully. We have a follow up with Dr. K on Thursday. So we will see just how much Regan has gained and talk more about treatment plans.
