Rockin' Recipe

We made these for dinner last night. They were delish. Actually, you should probably get yerself to a treadmill pronto for just looking at the recipe. Yes, they were that good. In a stick to your buns kind of way. Just thought I'd pass on something yummy!

Mama loves Ian



Being Ian's mommy is so much fun! I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my days. Our sweet monkey is now fifteen weeks and over fourteen pounds. His chub is so wonderfully kissable! We experienced his first laugh this past weekend and he has been giggling up a storm over the last couple days. He loves reading books, singing silly songs, and playing airplane. He likes snuggling with daddy when he gets home from work and being carried close to mama during the day.
Life with Ian is just amazing! It's neat seeing things through his eyes. We have been getting lots of heavy rain the past week. A few days ago, we opened up the back door and stood just inside the house smelling the rain and watching it form a rushing stream in the ditch adjacent to our back-yard. A look of wonderment crossed Ian's face, and I realized that he was seeing rain and feeling it's refreshing breeze for the first time. How privileged I am to experience these firsts with him!

Like father, like son

Snoozin' (with a cute sock monkey bum!)

Daddy goofing off with Ian and. . .
. . . just a couple seconds later, Ian makes the same goofy face at Daddy.
Like father, like son - I love my boys!

Oh yeah, and here's Gonzo pushing his way in front of the camera for a picture

What I've been up to . .

Trying to pet my pug brother (with daddy's help of course)
Smiling!!! I've been smiling in response to my Mommy's and Daddy's smiles for a couple weeks (they just haven't had a chance to get it on camera)

Learning how to say Ga-Ga, my first syllable-sound!
(I usually say it when I'm not too happy! I was
ready for Mama to stop taking pictures and hold me!)
Snuggling with my daddy!

Sleeping . . . It's what we do.
