On this here day we have MUCH to be thankful for.
Now we are here:
This babe is 1!!! We had a great day, party was last weekend. I’ll give you all the deets soon.
(thanks for the dress Melanie, two baby girls wore it on their Firsts! Sophia did Scarlett proud.)
As if that wasn’t enough reason to be thankful!…..
The world is one better. No, the world is one bestest. Meet Sophia’s future husband.
BFF Juli gave birth to Will at 11:57pm MT on January 31st. We were hoping she’d hold off so they two would share a birthday however, he had different ideas. He was 5 days late and gave his mama quite a run for her money - 24 hours of labor, 4 hours of pushing and - he’s here!!! Juli kicked ass and went through it all without any drugs. This is Juli’s first and I cannot wait to get out to meet him! We have a trip planned for the end of the month.
Check out the handknit! It’s a Clapotis, made by me for Juli to labor with, nurse with, and cuddle Will with! It looks awesome wrapped around him.




happy birthday little lady and congratulations for the parents on making it through the first year! I hope to see you all soon (mid-March?)

Yay! Happy B-day Sophia! I can’t believe she’s already a year old. Congrats to Juli… Will looks adorable (and all warm and snuggly in his clapotis).

Clapotis makes for a nifty baby blanket.

Happy Birthday to Little Miss Sophia!
Congrats to Juli too. Is she still in CO? Maybe I’ll get a chance to see you.
Will is a cutie and that Clapotis is perfect to cuddle him up in and nurse. Wish I’d thought about that for my sister.

How cool is it that our girls wore the same dress on their first birthdays? That’s just awesome.
Happy birthday sweetie!

Sophia! Where did a year go?
She is so lovely - and so is her little dress.
Will is gorgeous. What a head of hair. And spoken for so soon!
Love the clapotis, what a great idea.
