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!!!

Project #2: Knitting birdies... I figured out that the pattern wasn't the best because my birds look like whales... what do you think?
