Ellia turned one years old this week!! Wow what a ride! I’m sorry for the cliche but they do grow up so fast. It’s overwhelming to see this tiny little soul transform into a little person. This past year she’s been the source of all my joy, my creativity, my passion, and my love. My new little buddy.

Ellia had a really bad sinus infection that ended last week. Poor little thing was a trooper. Look how cute she looks…not even a small hint of the misery she was feeling.

Our online order came in yesterday and Ellia got to wear her brand new outfit. How cute is she in her little panda onesie?

Absolutely love this toy. They have a fruit salad and a sushi set…the whole series at amazon.com.

A great baby names website whatalovelyname.com.

What a Lovely Name is a web application that not only helps you generate a baby name based on tags — cute, wise, quirky — and a combination thereof but it also generates a (relatively) custom logo that you can then magically export to zazzle and get all kinds of merchandise.

Here are some my favorite names that I managed to pick out.
