SMILE!!!!

Not too long ago Seth decided this is what the people in his life look like when they smile.

So whenever a camera is present he smiles.

It's one of those melt your heart make you silly with love smiles.

And I ask him to do it ALL THE TIME.

I mean really, can you blame me?

Special thanks to Uncle Nate for the great photos!!

I fed Seth what?

I've recently begun following this blog.

And recently this recipe fascinated me. I'm always looking for new ways to incorporate veggies into Seth's diet. So I made Raw Cereal for breakfast this morning...and fed it to Seth. Yes, I fed my son a cereal made of broccoli, cauliflower, pecans, apple, carrots, cinnamon and soy milk. Ew, right? But guess what?

He loved it!!

He and I each ate 2 bowls of it; it was delicious!

See? Seth wants to share with you!! (as for me....I'm keeping my portion to myself!!)

Good Fortune

I had my first 29th birthday last week. To celebrate we went out to my favorite Chinese restaurant. It was a delicious dinner with good company and I enjoyed myself immensely. One of my favorite parts of a Chinese meal always comes at the end --fortune cookies!!! Now that Seth is able to eat fortune cookies I find it especially entertaining to read his fortunes.



I'm assuming that by "wisdom" they mean "parents."

After Seth had finished eating his fortune cookie he asked for more, and in typical toddler style threw a fantastic fit after being told that there wasn't any more. I chose to give Seth another cookie instead of spending the rest of my birthday dinner engaged in a power struggle. (The staff of the restaurant was more than happy to provide a large bag of cookies for Seth, but he only got one from the bag. We have the rest in our pantry.)

Here is the fortune from his second cookie; please note the tear.



How appropriate!!
