    GB’s First Birthday

    While GB’s First Birthday party was Saturday, today, March 23, marked the one-year anniversary of his arrival. March 23 at 2:31pm, to be exact (despite the fact that his birth certificate incorrectly states, “2:41pm.” I was there people–I know! They also originally spelled his name, “Gatsy” so clearly they cannot…

    to my son on his first birthday

      Dear GB, My sweet, sweet GB. I could tell while I was growing you that you were going to be a gentle soul. You waited until your exact due date to come into this world. I say it’s because you just wanted to hang out with me as long…

    GB’s First Birthday Party

    We held GB’s First Birthday party yesterday at this adorable little pretzel shop, York City Pretzel Company (of which I happen to be an owner). I shared my lackadaisical approach to birthday planning the other day, but this party turned out pretty damn cute if I do say so myself.…

    one week to GB’s party

      GB’s first birthday party is one week away. Am I ready? Ha. Ha. No. Here’s what I’ve got so far: I’m hosting the party at my pretzel shop, so there will be soft pretzels. I’m doing a general red and aqua color scheme and “little man” theme with mustaches…

    a tale of two eaters

    In honor of Restaurant Week York‘s triumphant return February 21-28, let’s talk about eating, shall we? GB’s stance toward food is best described by the classic Hasbro game popular in the 1980’s:  The kid loves to eat. He’s just about to the point where he’s saying, “screw the bottle; gimme…

    First haircuts tonight for #weefees and #babyfees. (also, apparently first haircuts are free at George's?

    happy 10 months, gb

    It wouldn’t be a Month-iversary post if it wasn’t a few days late… Sorry, GB. Weight: 19 pounds, wearing size 3 diapers. Likes: eating! open mouth kissing, army crawling, dancing to “Uptown Funk,” trying to stand up, rolling, being harassed by his sister, gnawing on Sally’s fur, stealing people’s food, bouncing in…
