Two Things That Make Me Smile...

I had an inkling to do some sewing today...I was planning on making a new purse but found this pattern for a onsie dress here and decided to make it instead. I used stuff I had leftover from other projects and whipped it up in less than an hour. Too cute!

Something else that makes me smile is getting a good deal.

I got these 10 boxes of crackers for $2.42.

$24.42 - Safeway price
-10.00 - Safeway deal for buying 10 boxes in a single transaction
-10.00 - Kraft/Nabisco rebate
-2.00 - Coupons

Pretty great deal considering how many crackers Hudson consumes... :)

My Four Month Old

Livia had her 4 month check-up the beginning of December and the Dr. told us she is healthy as can be! As I write this she is already 4.5 months old and closing in on the 1 year....err 5 month mark. It sure seems to go faster with the second child! Livia has been sleeping through the night now for over a month (such a blessing, especially since Hudson didn't do that until he was 2), she has also recently developed some hand-eye coordination and seems to be pretty happy about what she can do with those little hands of hers. She has a great little smile...can help but love our baby girl!

Winter Fun

Hudson has enjoyed our first snow of the year. This week was really the first time he's played in the snow. Last year after it snowed he went outside, got snow all over his glove said "yuck" and decided he had had enough. This year he "helped" me shovel the driveway and we made a snowman that was "almost as big as daddy!"
