Now this says love.

This Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake was my present to Nick for Valentine's Day.

He was in heaven.

Just in case you were wondering...

What have I been up to lately?

Take a look.

Doesn't she look smashing?!

And I'm only getting started. So many more projects.

Yes, I WILL craft myself into a coma.

A comfy coma.
And I will love it.

My Almost One-Year-Old

This is my favorite picture of Ruby lately. It makes me giggle every time I look at it. I found her cute little green jacket at Target the other day for $4.98. Doesn't get any better than that. I put it on her every chance I get.

I can't believe Ruby is going to be one in a little over a month! I am mind blown at how fast this first year of her life has flown. She will be 11 months old on February 16th.

Finally. I caught it on camera! This is the face she pulls constantly-- the underbite with her two bottom teeth. It makes her look like a troll or something. Hilarious.

Couldn't resist this rear view.

Playing with a new toy Nick's Aunt Brenda gave us. She can't get enough of this thing. And NO. She's not standing up by herself... she's just lucky she can push her belly against the table for a few minutes to brace herself. She isn't even officially crawling yet, which I'm fine with. Postponing of the baby proofing. She scoots around everywhere, so she'll figure it out soon.
