Beautiful Babies Giveaway!!

 I am so excited to host my first giveaway for all my lovely readers!! 
On October 15, 2008 Erica opened Beautiful Babies making mostly crochet blankets and booties. Business was slow as she learned the ins and outs of owning an online retail business. Now, almost 21/2 years later, Etsy has turned a once loved hobby into a full fledged business for this “work at home mom”!! Beautiful Babies was even contacted by a designer from “The Smurfs” movie scheduled to release this upcoming Summer 2011; they requested one of Erica’s one of a kind blankets be sent overnight to Colombia Pictures in New York! The blanket was said to be “perfect” for a certain scene in the upcoming movie.
NOW, DRUM ROLL!!! One lucky reader will get a chance to win one of Beautiful Babies unique, one of a kind, made just for you hats!

My Little Man “8” Months Old

I have not done an update on my little man “Mr. Smiles” in sometime and as I have said before this blog and our school blog…both serve as my “memory” at times. He is 8 months already!! I can not believe it!! Seems like only yesterday, I was cuddling on the couch with my blue eyed baby (yep, they are still blue!) and NOW…we are off!!

He is crawling EVERYWHERE…he is speedy quick, and has no problem keeping up with big sisters. He even stood up for the first time Tuesday, February, 15th. The best part was we all got to see it…he has not done it since, but it is coming! He will by far be my earliest walker. Pumpkin did not walk until she was 19 months old…Im hoping Mr. Smiles makes it to 9 mo (Mommy is not ready)!!

 He is has two bottom teeth and is working on more!

 He is ALL boy…he loves balls, trains, cars, and anything that has wheels, rolls, and is loud!! He growls like a lion, makes fish lips, has great fine motor skills, and loves to dance. This boy is a blast..I just want to bottle him up! We think the little man has some food allergies but other than that he is easy peasy!!

Big Hugs and Kisses!! From Mr. Smiles 🙂

O’Tiny Little One!!

“O’Tiny Little One”, So Itty-Bitty and Small

What big lessons you have taught us all…
life is not measured by the breaths we take..
but rather by those we touch along our way!!

We all have a story to open and unfold….

Someday we will meet our Heavenly Father…
and then the questions left unanswered may then be told!!

“Little Angel” up above…
you are our shining light…
you are the star we pray towards at night!!

“Please Mommy, do not cry!”

“I am here with you always and forever..
until someday, we will be together!”

There are no guarantees in life…
but some things hold true…

“Little Angel” up above this much I can speak of you..
Your Mommy and your Daddy love you very much too!!

Until we meet again little one, so tiny and so small!!

Love, Aunt Jenny
