Quickly:

I put up a Valentine's Gift Guide (for the ladies) on Style Lush today, and I'd be ever-so appreciative if you'd link or re-tweet or forward along to all the people in your life who like buying you gifts. It took a little time and it's always nice to see the time-consuming posts get a little attention!

The True Blood cover has been chosen at my work blog. Seventy percent of readers is hard to argue with, even though I (personally) liked the cover-not-selected a little better. Apparently my genius is in the minority. Also, thanks for all the nice comments on my HERE'S WHAT I DO! post. Once I announce the winner of the free giveaway copy, I'll be offering everyone else a little something, so come back Friday.

Oh and because it's been a few days since I'm shared a picture of my nearly one-year-old son, here he is in all his growing-up glory.

 

Mike thinks he needs a hair cut before his party and apparently Mike also thinks it's fun to RILE ME UP AND MAKE ME STABBY, too, because YOU WILL NOT TOUCH THAT BABY'S HEAD SO HELP ME....

Aww, I voted for the non-winner cover too. The winner one just strikes me as a little supermarket paper backy.

This picture is so cute. I would stick a thought cloud bubble over it and write inside: "Oh, Mother. The camera again? Really?"

Don't let Mike near his hair!!!! You'll never get those precious locks back... Oh GOD I will so grow my next child's hair out longer. Yes, I feel strongly about all this.

Most awesome V-Day list, too. I almost bought that exact (ferris wheel) print off etsy about a month ago!

I love the Valentine's list! Style Lush wasn't letting me comment for some reason... But I am loving the initial necklace and the brownie pops! Plus, you're 100% right: calories DON'T count if they come as gifts. It's a little-known food loophole in the calorie code.

P.S. Your baby is soooooo cute!

What is it with men and baby's haircuts? I'll give a little on my boy, because, well, boy, but I keep a close eye (and take him to my stylist, of course). But seriously, the girl's hair is Mom's business and Dad should not even broach the subject, much less grab a pair of KITCHEN SHEARS and cut bangs into her beautiful mane so choppily that she ends up with a mullet. Wait, deep breath, OK. It's a personal subject with me.

But my husband might want to sleep with 1 eye open so as not to get up with a haircut courtesy of the hedge trimmer is all I'm saying.

So, we have that same booster seat and I LOVE it. I thought it was done for when my daughter broke the piece that holds the tray on, but now we just push it right up to the table without the tray and she likes that even better. Good for everyone.

violet didn't get a haircut until she was nearly three and got her finger stuck while twirling it. jason cried.

Just what hair is he thinking about cutting? Let the boy have a warm head, Dad!

I think I'd put a word bubble on the pic that says something like, "Baby food is so overrated."

[Vos]

The look he is giving in that picture is so Mike. No haircut for the little man.

[Jen L.]

NO! Why does he need a haircut? My boy had to have one right after his first b-day because he had a mullet and little wisps hanging it his eyes, but Kyle's hair is perfect! GAH, Mike!
