Happy things

I’ve got the flu again, so here are a few things to cheer me up.

The alligator stamp I made (!) for my neighbor's baby shower last weekend.

The favors - hot chocolate on a stick.

Design your own I ♥ tee (No, I don't ♥ Chris)

Rainbow cake on Omnomicon

I desperately want to make one of these. For myself.

Favors for baby shower #2. There are a variety of candies in the little bags; this one happens to have a mini lollipop and a fun-size 3 Musketeers.

And finally…

The book isn’t currently available in the US, but you can pre-order it through Amazon UK for cheap. (Not factoring in shipping costs.) My cousin, whose baby shower I’m throwing tomorrow, had me watch this video. Jennifer, you can probably expect your own copy of Emily Brown and the Elephant Emergency for your birthday!


Wheat Chex

The Bwun takes after me: he loves Wheat Chex. I tell him they’re crackers, for whatever reason.

He's eaten about half the box by himself.

I’m not sure how he eats them so quickly, given that he only has two teeth (still).

But he manages somehow.

Also, it’s really hard to take a picture of the Bwun. He likes to move around a lot.

Evidence.

Can you believe he’ll be ONE YEAR OLD in less than two weeks? It’s difficult for me to accept! While it does seem like ages ago that we were in the hospital with him, the year has gone by really quickly. Remember when he was this tiny?

It took both the Romgi and I about 15 minutes to get the Bwun into his going-home outfit. We were so timid and unsure!

And now he’s all grown up and eating Wheat Chex…sigh.


Today's gift

I’ll be in North Carolina on my birthday, so no party until I get back. Please get me this cake pan so we can really celebrate.
