Went to Nordstrom today to cash in holiday + birthday credit and got Jacob a new pair of shoes. He is a size 5.5 - for now. There was retail success all around - hubby got a burgundy button-down shirt - which is a huge departure from the usual blue (yet again I talked him out of the blue-shirt-w/-blue jeans combo!) and I found a pair of khakis at J Crew that fit perfectly. One year later and the baby weight is officially GONE!

What color are his eyes??
It's probably wishful thinking, but to me, Jacob's eyes look green at certain times...he's back in his rear-facing car seat. He really liked the front-facing one (and HATES this one) but thanks to information passed on by a good friend, we decided that it's safer this way while he's still young. Considering how dangerous 101 is, we're erring on the side of caution.

Jacob's 1st birthday party
Jacob and friends had a blast today - just as soon as my attention wavered for 1 second, I took my hand off the rack and the whole cake ended up on the floor! I guess it's not a real party unless something gets spilled.

Little Boy

Amazing - when did my baby turn into a little boy? I'm loving his hair - for a while, it was reminding me of Dwight (Rainn Wilson) from the US version of The Office - now it's too long, so it's more in the British pop star vein. :)

Jacob got a much-needed dose of Vitamin D yesterday in the city. There was plenty of window shopping on Chestnut Street to keep everyone happy, and good eats at Judy's Cafe.

Neighborhood pizza place
Lococo's Pizza is one of the things that we love about our neighborhood. Jacob can be the kid that he is and no one blinks - and the pizza ROCKS. I tried mightily to limit myself to 2 pieces, but couldn't. We get the same thing every time - a pie called the "Employee Special," which is hamburger, artichoke and green onion. I justified by 3rd piece pretty easily - #1, I went on a jog before dinner - #2, I'm still abiding by my New Year's resolution not to have sweets after 7pm. I kid you not, I have lost about 5lbs. doing that and nothing else!

He likes lemon!
Went to Sam's for brunch today with Uncle Bjorn and the Kid. It was too cold to sit outside today so we enjoyed our fried calamari without the seagulls of unusual size peering over our plates ("Mine! Mine!). Bjorn is a friend of Peter's from college, and he's launching an exciting new company that focuses on birds and bird watching. There will be more info available when he's ready to launch.

Chip off the old block
People frequently say that J. is the spitting image of Peter, but I would like to point out the resemblance to me at 12 months!
