Well I can’t get past the precious baby feet. If the rest of him is a cute as the piggies,he’s a keeper. Congratulations. I probably won’t bake that yummy bread but just looking at your photos has been like having a bite. I love your blog.

PS I have 5 grandchildren so I know a cute baby when I see one. I’m going in search of more photos of him.

Are you a superhero? How can you have a beautiful baby AND make Ina’s delicious recipes in such close proximity? You’re fabulous!

So sorry about the 51 hours and then a c-section. My induction was a mere 22 hours and a c-section. However, it all turned out fine. Not like the baby books said the labor and birth would go, but it doesn’t matter because my baby turned 20 two weeks ago. All 6′3 of him. I’m so happy for you and your new family! Congratulations!

Jacob is beautiful. Yes, I think he’s the best thing you’ve ever cooked up (and is he going to HATE all these comments when he’s in his teens…. :-D ).

Congratuations!!!

I just found out I’m going to be a grandmother–twice. My son and his wife along with my daughter and her husband are expecting 3 weeks apart! I will admit to drooling over Jacob’s picture! I can hardly wait to have my lips on our own little cinnamon swirled heads!

Dear Deb,

Long-time reader, first-time poster. Just wanted to say that your baby is adorable, and I will be making this date-loaf to celebrate the high holidays, post-fast, and your baby’s birth. :)

congrats on your gorgeous boy! c-sections aren’t fun, but it’s all over now, hooray!

oh yeah, bread. dates aren’t as yummy as those little feetsies, no way.

Well, I also had a 4 day labor with induction and with a C-section at the end – I say, the IV in my hand was worse than all the rest combined! Best of luck, again, with it all, he sure is gorgeous. Thank you for your continued passion in the kitchen as well, I know all mine went towards the kiddo for quite awhile!

Blah blah blah recipe please tell me there will a baby photo with each post, at least for a while.

Those are some gorgeous little legs there! Best wishes!

What a cheerful, level-headed person you seem to be! It’s one of the reasons I enjoy your blog so much. Your little Jacob is a lucky child. Adorable, and lucky.

I ? nap time!!! There is nothing sweeter than watching your baby sleep, and getting a few moments to yourself. Congrats on such a sweet little muffin. -Jess
