A year flies by in a flash

Today my love your are 1 year old. You went from my not so tiny 10lb precious boy to a handsome 25lb bean pole! 

I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! 

This time 1 year ago I was worried because my little baby's heart rate kept going up and down. Not long after I was told that I would be having an emergency c-section since the baby was too big for my pelvis and was stuck. 

At 10:01pm after over 24 hours of labor, several adrenaline shots, and a very scary few moments Bug was born weighing in at 10 lbs 1oz 20 inches long. He was barney color purple from lack of oxygen from being stuck and when he started to cry, I did too.

This year I am typing a blog about his birth and watching him stand next to me hugging my arm saying Ah-da over and over. These are the moments I live for. When he is completely interested in what I am doing and wants to be just like me. It is scary to think that someone wants to be just like you but I know that I am the only person for the job and I would not have it any other way.

He is my silly peanut butter loving monster.

Nudist in the making.

Mohawk having kidd.

Growing up way too fast, talking on the cell phone to his nana. 

Note: My family is coming into town tomorrow and bug's party is this weekend. I am not going to be posting during this period. Expect a post from me come monday'ish. :D 

Be my Valentine

Don't forget to check out the sewing pattern giveaway and enter! It ends friday! Tell your friends even if you don't want to join. They might love it!

In the past I haven't been much of a Valentine's day girl. I have the unfortunate luck of either breaking it off or just not having anyone for V-day. Not complaining though! I am not much for commercialized holidays anyway. However I have my little man this year and he is the only man for me.

I saw an adorable shirt in wal-mart the other day that said Eligible Bachelor. But I did not like the cheesy bowtie thing on it. Kind of made me cringe at the attempt to be cute. So I did what any other crafty momma would do. I came home and made my own shirt! 

Hope this provides some inspiration...

Bachelor for the side (only thing I wish I did here was make the letters go up the side so that you had to tilt your head to read it... Know what I mean? B at the bottom. Okay hope that made sense) 

My bug wears his heart on his sleeve. 

Shirt- $3 wal-mart

On hand- freezer paper, fabric paint, iron, adorable child. 

Total Cost: $3

How to: I used photoshop and combined images to make the heart with the arrow. I than chose a font that I liked off of dafonts.com. I printer both images out directly onto (the paper side) freezer paper that I cut into 8x10 sheets. 

Cut out the images with an exacto knife on a cutting mat (so that you don't mess up your table). Grab up fabric paint of your choice and your iron. Iron the freezer paper onto your shirt on a low heat setting.

 Once it is all sealed apply fabric paint liberally or not so liberally if you want a distressed look. Put in a location where little fingers cannot grab it and let it dry over night. Peel off freezer paper and enjoy! (don't forget to use a pressing cloth once it is dry and iron the fabric paint to heat set it)

Enjoy! Have a awesome V-day!
