This is a good one, Jeanne. Thanks for posting it.

Good luck. I couldn't search at all. Just a circular mess. Logged in, clicked search, wanted me to log in, I did, clicked search, etc, etc.

Anyone lucky?

i can only guess it is having massive overload of us trying to gain access and maybe they just shut it off. they could at least remove the top banner saying there was going to be access for the week. maybe then we'd all not have our hopes up. i did see it the first night i posted here about it so it was open for awhile. maybe the non access now is my fault for posting about it to so many folks here. sorry. j.

Very cool. We have a four-month-old, (Joel Xavier), so it was fun peeking at the baby stuff. :)

He's growing so fast, though, (90+ percentile height & weight) it's hard to predict what size he'll be wearing when, so I'm thinking we'll pass on making him anything from those patterns. :)
