My baby is now 2/3 of the way through his first year! EEK! He changes so much and I love him even more every day. Chasing him exhausts me, but he's a busy boy who needs to burn off some energy (and I need the exercise, anyway)! I enjoy making things for him. (Cooking and sewing are two of my favorite things to do anyway and the fact that I'm preparing things for my son's enjoyment makes it even BETTER!)
