Getting good with food

That would be both Lane in terms of eating and me in terms of cooking.

First off is Lane and his love of all things big people.  This week had his first ear of corn and also learned how to hold his own bottle.  It's not full, but it does keep him occupied for quite a while. This is key in the morning.  The corn on the cob also kept him occupied.  Not sure if it's good that good can occupy him, but it's not cookies or ice cream so we'll say it's good for now.

Then me...  I found a new recipe to try this morning and I love the blog I found it on.  I love scones too and going out to get one in the morning just doesn't work when your husband goes on a fire call at 3:30 am.  And bagels rule the world around here.  Lane then decided it was "morning" at 5:30.   So much for making his room dark.  He sleeps longer when I forget to pull the shades - sometimes.  argh.  So I decided I would whip them up for a tasty morning treat.  Went great with my cinnamon coffee.
Here is the link..  Katie's favorite food blog.  Here is my final result.  I followed her directions of using the food processor and will do that for future scone recipes too.  It was way too easy!  Clean up was more work than making them!

Pizza and grilled veggies! Lane ate all my veggies and then the rest I had made for later. After he had a full lunch an hour ago. Mad there is no more.

Welcoming in July

Lane and I both have colds, but we managed to still have some fun on Saturday.  Both the boys are napping so I have time to blog!  woohoo!  Just hoping the naps last longer than 45 minutes.  Lane is not a napper.  Yesterday he refused to take an afternoon nap and after an hour of screaming I  gave in thinking he would have gone to sleep after all that screaming if he was tired.   He must have wanted to be outside as much as me so we hit the bridge for a walk and to try and catch sight of the hot air balloon launch.  That was a fail. The only balloon was about 20 miles away and while we could see it that's pretty far. The walk was entertaining though.  Quite the parade of characters with the many tourists.  Sort of felt like we were in Europe based on the languages, accents and clothing.  Goodness.

Pool time delayed the all important nap too.  He's just not a napper and if he's not cranking out I'm not pushing it.  Even at daycare he sometimes only takes a one hour nap in the morning.

So...  after swimming he's gotta have the sippy.  Never mind he's more interested in chewing the handle.  He's quite good at backwashining into it too.  Puffs before sippy not a good idea.  Don't quite think he has the hang of it, but that's fine for now.

I'm loving his new swimming toy.  I think his life jacket is too big and this allows us to both float around.  Put a couple of noodles under it and we are set to float!

And what little boy doesn't love a football?  Favorite thing to do with it....  chew it of course.

Now for the pictures you won't see...  of me grilling pizza.  I've made it twice now.  After the first time I said I was going to take pictures of it the next time.  Problem is once you get going it goes fast.  Never would have guessed it was so easy and good.  Maybe next time?
