Ooh, we're into double digits now. Sweeeet. This is one of the few shots of Caden while he's actually awake.. but I'm trying to get better at remembering to grab Mom's camera before those beautiful blue & grey eyes close!
And me, I'm starting to really get back into hats. I figure they'll be a great thing to start selling - sure, winter is [hopefully!] almost over, but hats can also be made for the spring and summer by using a different, lighter yarn. I plan to have 10 hats up for sale by the end of next week!

There's my boy. Looking sleepy, happy, and freshly bathed. =] It's amazing, watching him [who is completely like me] get bigger with every passing day. My little guy is growing.. Argh, how depressing.

Here's a picture of Emma and I. Her eyes aren't closed because of the flash.. she's actually sleeping on my pillow and I snuck behind her to get the shot. She doesn't always get to sleep in my room, since she's noisy [and nosy] and I don't want her waking up Caden because she wanted to chew on plastic.

My baby's "going out" outfit. He was posing crazy but looking adorable. We went with Charlene to a few places before joining Mom for lunch in Summerlin at a Greek restaurant.

And that's me, showing off my music tattoo. I sometimes forget that I have it, since it's on my neck. But it's probably my favorite [for now, heh]. I'm also wearing regular earrings [also for now]. You can't see them, but the one in that ear is a treble clef and its mate is a 16th note. =]

Yes, he's sleeping.. again. But this picture has good reason! He hasn't slept all day, which is unusual for him, so I was hanging out with him.. and because he had my full attention, I forgot to take a picture of him while he was awake. My bad. But he's lying in his boppy pillow on my bed, doing his flinching thing every time there's a loud sound coming from the tv ["The Other Boleyn Girl" is louder than I thought]. His face is starting to really clear up. The red spots only look really bad when he wakes up or has been crying. I've put lotion on his face about four times today and it clears it right up. Hopefully it'll go away permanently.

And what I got to do today while Caden decided to sit quietly was work on a hat. I had started it last night [I had a venti Starbucks around 9pm last night.. so I was able to stay awake until about 2:30am]. But I just frogged it because I don't have the double pointed needles to finish it yet and I'd hate to leave such a beautiful hat unfinished. Gahh.. Oh well, it's just a sign that I should be concentrating on getting things knitted for my online shop and Valentine's Day rather than for myself. Btw if you look, you can see that the hat isn't finished because there's a needle sticking straight out of it, haha. [The yarn is 100% pure merino wool. Black, grey, and blue. It's GORGEOUS to work with.. and the bamboo cable needles I've got are going to convince me to never buy aluminum needles again]

Gahh.. I'm such a lucky mommy. He's finally getting that when the silver box covers Mommy's face, don't look away [hehe]. You can't see it very well in the small pic, but Caden decided to scratch his nose in his sleep. So now he has a tiny red line.. yet still doesn't want me to cut his nails. Oy vey.

And I've never gotten to show off my favorite present ever. My Christmas present from my boy - called "Angel's Embrace". Obviously it's a rib at the fact I never put my boy down. But I love it and keep it on my desk where I can look at it at all times.

BONUS PICTURE: Baby Caden with "Baby Caden".. He loves his bear so much, he's trying to eat his bear's arm, haha. At least my boy's bear doesn't have his Grandma's voice coming from it..

I know this picture is really dark, but I still love it. Fridays will be "Mommy & Caden" pictures.. because I can't take 365 individual pictures and not share a few with my gorgeous boy.

We ran errands today & Caden got to see his Godmommy [there was a tv on behind me.. which is what Caden's staring at]: And I finally finished my mock cable headband! I went to Joann's to find some needles, but I think I got the wrong ones so I'll have to go back later today with Mom when she gets home. Anyway, here's the finished product [with a "it's 11something pm, gimme a break" expression, hehe]:
