Adventures of cricut

Hello! A lot has happened in the last few weeks. We went on a hike at Mt. Knittany and did the whole thing! Close to 6 miles. Jocelyn and Butters were such troopers.







Jocelyn facts:
1. I am 11 weeks and 2 days old (as of July 6, 2011)
2. I weigh 10 lbs.
3. I'm really good and eating my fingers.
4. I now sleep in my own room.
5. I have a silky long mane that is reminiscent of the 80's.

Recently I got a paper cutting machine called the "cricut". Note the wood glue! I have a glue stick now. Meet the life jaws:





Ryan even made his mom one! Some successful cards:







Fourth of July was great. We went to Levittown and saw lots of friends and family. Here is Jocelyn in her outfit:







We went on a walk to catch some fireflies and fireworks:













Now we are home! Happy birthday to Grammy Cheryl!

More soon.

Inspired by Julia Child ....

I now vow to become a regular blogger, as inspired by the movie Julie-Julia. I'm a decent cook, but a horrible baker! So maybe I'll work on that  :)

Here are some links to the facebook random photos of miss Jocelyn in case you don't use FB.

Jocelyn is 2 months old in 2 days. She now smiles and makes the cutest coo-ing noises. She holds her head up and has this adorable way of looking like a bobble head.

Her and butters are great friends. He says hello with his customary snort and sneeze.

There are a few things we have concluded are ESSENTIAL with a baby from 0 - 60 days old:
1. Swaddlers
2. White noise maker/Sleepy Sheep
3. Baby 411 book
4. Plenty of your favorite beverage: mine is cabernet wine.
5. A hobby that gives you the excuse for one hour far far away from the crying

** recommended goodies: the 'breast-friend' baby pillow, binkies/pacifiers, the ability to shamelessly sing and dance for baby




Project #1: I have also embarked on my "fear factor" project to sew. I will sew something!!!
