Homemade Gourmet

I recently joined the Homemade Gourmet Team. I am doing this in hopes of being able to stay home with Eli. My goal is to be able to supplement my same income by next March. I love to cook and I think is a good opportunity to do what I love for the ones I love.

I have my own website for Homemade Gourmet! Check it out. You can also email me through it. I hope to hear from you about an order or coming to my party this Sunday, March 15th at 3:00 p.m. Remember this is my debut party to help kick start my Homemade Gourmet future.

My 1 year old

Wow, it doesn't seem possible that 1 year ago today I was sitting at home with a brand new baby boy. So tiny and innocent. The past year has changed Fan and my lives dramatically. Instead of going to parties for older people we are going to little birthday parties. Instead for staying up late going out, we are going to bed early to try to get in enough z's before our son wakes up with the sun. We hurry home just to spend as much play time as we can with him before bed. I am now cooking for 2 1/2 seeing as Elijah is not eating as much as we are just yet.

Elijah turn one on March 7th, we had the most wonderful birthday. We rented a bounce house for the kids and adults to play in. We had food and lots of it, so many presents. He did really good playing, but of course he does that when its outside. He has always been an outside baby, he loves it. We had some many people come for the party and lots of little ones was so much fun too.

Elijah is walking all over, getting into everything. He recognizes what things are such as mommy, daddy, cat, dog, truck, nose, eye, ear, belly button, mouth. He can clap, blow kisses, wave bye bye. He can say in sign language 'more,' and 'please.' He knows what bath is and helps me get him ready for bath and for bed.

I took him to his 1 year check up yesterday. He weighs 18.12 pounds is 29 inches long and his head is 47 cm around. Doctor still reassured me that although he is little and in the 5-10% for his weight, his head is in the 75% and thats what counts. Which means he is getting all the necessary nutrition and food he needs and not all the fat that he doesnt need. Not to mention he is very active and all over the place. Doctor was suprised that Elijah knew where nose, ear and eyes were. He said most kids his ages do not know that for atleast several more months if not longer. Hehehe he make me proud, he is going to be a smart, bi-lingual little boy.

Fan and I are doing great. Fan works for Dolese Brothers, which is a concrete business. He gets to play with trucks and dirt all day, is home in the evenings and most all weekends. I work for a real estate appraiser. I also started Homemade Gourmet. Some of you know I love to cook and thats what I get to do with this. Check out the website: www.homemadegourmet.com if you want to order anything let me know, I am having my debut party this Sunday and can get the items ordered for you. With Homemade Gourmet I am hoping to build up some good business and really get it going. I have a goal of 1 year or less to quit my job, make as much as I am making now and then some.

That's about all I have for now.

Lovies,
Fan, Sara & Elijah
