Happy 1st Birthday Jacob!
Our precious little boy is celebrating his first birthday today!
He wanted to go to Chick-fil-A for lunch (well, his brother did) where he received a special birthday balloon, mini-moo and coupon for a free ice dream. This evening we will have a small family dinner celebration at our house.
At 1 year old, Jacob is:
*Walking everywhere and getting very good at it.
*Eating like a champ which isn't really a new development. But, we have transitioned him to eating everything we eat. In the past couple of weeks he has tried (and loved) baked beans, chicken, sloppy joes, tater tots, lasagna, risotto and tilapia. He is also drinking whole milk.
*Still getting into everything. The shelves are bare and the floor is littered. Daddy, Joseph & Mama spend quite a bit of their time putting magnets back on the fridge and books/puzzles back on the shelves.
*An early bird. He goes to bed at 8 pm and wakes up between 4 and 5 am almost every morning. Every once in awhile he'll surprise us and sleep until 6:30. Of course, once he has his milk and is snuggled on the couch with mama, he usually catches another little snooze. He's not much of a snuggler otherwise so Mama kind of enjoys those early morning snuggle times.
*A big fan of his big brother. Jacob follows Joseph everywhere and thinks he's pretty awesome. The feeling is mutual. Joseph loves to make Jacob giggle and Jacob loves the attention. They are beginning to have a lot of fun - especially in the evenings when they chase each other around the ottoman.
We can't believe that we've had this sweet little boy in our family for a year already. His little personality is starting to shine through and, as all parents know, it's the most amazing thing to watch. We love our darling Jacob!

House Party
Recently I hosted a House Party to promote Philadelphia Cream Cheese's new Cooking Creams. House Party sent me a very fun party kit including a GreenPan, oven mit, coupons for the Cooking Cream and goodies for my guests.
Last Friday I hosted some of my young mom friends and their babies for lunch and tried two of the recipes included in the kit. We loved the Santa Fe Chicken Casserole and the Sausage & Vegetable Calzones. (Side note - we had a few calzones left over and ate them for breakfast topped with an over-easy egg. sooooo yummy.)
My absolute favorite part of the party kit however, was the GreenPan! I have used it almost every day since I received it and am thinking about buying additional pieces.
long, long overdue . . . .
Here are pictures of some of my recent (and not so recent) sewing projects.
Our new Christmas Tree skirt.
My sister's nursery bedding.
Baby gifts for a friend's Ireland Rose.
Christmas kitchen towels.
The quilt I made for my mother-in-law out of her baby/little girl clothes.
