I'll be giving thanks the entire month of November for the blessings of 2009. Of course, my biggest blessing has been the gift of my son. Here's a picture of my precious baby Iain at 5 weeks. He likes to stretch out when he sleeps. No bundling for him! The little stinker fidgets until the blankets are thrown off.I'm also thankful to The Wild Rose Press for publishing my first two short stories:
His Ship, Her Fantasy now available
His Hope, Her Salvation available December 16th
Additionally, I'd like to say thank you to all my fellow authors that have guested on my blog, hosted me on their blog, or just provided support via emails. A big HUG to them all!
Last, but definitely not least. A BIG THANK YOU to all the readers out there. Each week I'll offer a $5 TWRP gift certificate to posters on my blog. At the end of the month, I'll be giving away a $25 gift certificate to winner's choice of The Wild Rose Press, Amazon, Borders, or Barnes and Noble. If you're a follower of my blog, you're automatically entered once for the monthly prize, but keep leaving comments for more chances to win!

Just click on the title for your copy...Every Picture Tells a Story
Awww, he looks like his daddy from this angle. Who does he look like if he's looking you in the eye? Or when screaming? My daughter looks like my mother when she's screaming. LOL. That tells you a lot about how comfortable/uncomfortable I feel about my mother screaming. LOLLLLLLLL
ReplyDeleteHe looks like his daddy to me, but I'm biased because I wanted a miniature version of my husband. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's got a little of me in his eyes, ears, and skin tone (thank heavens...at least he can tan unlike his dad). Since I'm the grouchy one, I have to say he sounds like me when he's fussing. Hehe.
Oh, Emma what a beautiful baby boy! Thank you so much for sharing his pic with us. And I'm so glad your first two stories are pubbed. I kind of sense you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy and Safe Halloween! And give that sweet boy hugs from all of us!
What a cutie. My grandson doesn't like to be bundled either. When he was little, he'd run around in a t-shirt and diaper in the dead of winter. Okay, winter's in Houston aren't all that cold, but I was bundled up. He did not like to be hot! My youngest granddaugter (cousin to above) is the same way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kaye. Happy Halloween! Hope you get awesome treats!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, he takes after me and gets heat rashes. We put him in a sleep blanket last night because of the temperature and when I went to change his diaper, he had a small rash. At least the rashes don't seem to itch.
ReplyDeleteOh Emma, what a precous little boy! Enjoy every second...they grow so fast. My "baby" boy already has a baby boy of his own. Oh I love being a gramma.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to count our blessings. Congrats on your releases.

Awwwww, adorable, I want one! Store up those head sniffs, baby smell, yummy. Almost makes you want to hug eveyone thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteKeep those pics coming, I wanna watch him grow.
He is just beautiful, Emma. What a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteTanya, I'm amazed at how much he's changed in just six weeks!
ReplyDeleteMary, he's so delicious no one wants to put him down!
Thanks, Patsy! He's cute even when he's fussing.
He's beautiful, Emma!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little man. No wonder you are proud of him. Treasure every moment of his babyhood, they grow up so quickly.
Best wishes

LOL! We call him Little Man because he's desperately trying to grow up...always wanting to try out new things.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome little man. You are truly blessed this season. Enjoy every second, they grow so fast.
ReplyDeleteAutumn
Thanks, Autumn! He's handsome just like his daddy!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely picture of your little Iain! What a sweetheart! Enjoy his babyhood because as hard as it is to believe now, the time will just fly by. My oldest "baby" is about to turn 26 and I can hardly believe it.
Cheers,
Jana

Jana, I am truly blessed because I don't have to work. Staying home with him is amazing. He changes so quickly.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie, Emma! I'm so glad you're both home and doing well. Baby love is so fantastic, you're never the same again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cate! I can't imagine life without him!
