valentine's weekend

Since Valentine's Day is on Tuesday, we celebrated this weekend. My hubby got the cutest frame from crate and barrel that is part chalkboard/magnetic and put in pictures from a map of where we were when we met, got married, had our little man and where we live now. He is so creative now (thanks to pinterest :). Notice the cute chalk drawing courtesy of litte Z :) and if you click on the title it will take you directly to crate and barrel website! Happy Valentines Weekend!

Homemade Applesauce

Since the little guy started eating food we have made all of his food from scratch. This is one of the easiest and one of his favorites! It is really simple.
1. Steam apple slices with skin on.
2. Once the apples are soft, take them out and place the apples in an ice bath (It makes it much easier to peel the skin off)
3. Peel skin off of apples
4. Place peeled apples in food processor
5. Place pureed apples in ice cube trays for use later
Now that was Easy :)

Still so little but getting bigger each day!

19 days

In 19 days I will be the mom to a 1 year old little boy!

(and yes he still likes his pacifier) (and if he wants his pacifier until he is two I am okay with that - but two is my limit)
He is so smart! He knows how to use the apps on the phone, he can make the sound of a snake, lion, bear, dog, cow, sheep, dinosaur, and fish lips. He can also make a sad, happy and sassy face on command. He knows some sign language and has such a funny sense of humor. He loves to read books all day long and he is a happy little guy! He is becoming more and more independent each day and I am so proud of him!
Little lilo I love you!
