Satisfied with a full belly, Jack contently spaces out.

It seems that the crib just doesn't do the trick. Jack likes to sleep on our bed with a pillow on each side of him.

On Thanksgiving, Justin and I pretty much took turns eating or socializing while the other cared for Jack. I think he has a hard time with crowds and was just a bit fussy all night.

These are my top pick for Christmas cards this year...and YES, they have illustrations by my sister.   Go here to purchase.

Today was Jack's blessing day. We had most of Justin's family there and enjoyed chili and cornbread afterward.

For those of you who noticed...yes, I colored my hair. And yes I dressed Jack to match his father...or rather, I told Justin, "You HAVE to wear that light blue tie of yours when you bless Jack."

Is it OK to think my baby is cute when he cries?

I've always been impressed with my sister's talents. Sabrina sings, dances, has witty humor, great style, is a fabulous mother, is fun and she's an artist. She creates these unique watercolor characters and I love every single one. Her blog is Slovly.com and she also has an Etsy store where she sells originals and prints. Plus, she does commissions! You can send her a photo of your family or child(ren) or whoever and she'll turn them into watercolor. It's a great personalized Christmas gift idea everyone! To see more of her artwork, read the one-liner stories about each watercolor or to contact her for a commissioned piece, click here.

A couple of weeks after I found out I was pregnant I received this watercolor below in the mail. It is called "Jack." Turns out she was right on with the hair and eye color. We'll see if I ever learn to knit those cute green accessories.
