I'm toast!

Thank you Thera for introducing me to these little suckers. Luckily they're only around during easter time. I already found some, but they should last me a while since they're having to compete with...

I always wanted to be a girlscout when I was younger, but my mom thought it was dorky. She probably didn't want to have to deal with THESE! And more specifically:

THE Caramel deLites. COME ON PEOPLE, We know they're called Samoa's, and it's just not cool to call them deLites, when there's NOTHING lite about them.

Gardening update #1

So we've gotten all of our boxes built, filled, and divided. We planted a bunch of seeds in cups, so that they could begin sprouting indoors. One day whilst we were out shopping, a torrential rain storm came and killed most of my seeds. Plus, they just weren't happy in cups. A few, however survived, and so this weekend I transplanted them. I also bought a few seedlings at home depot. They're the pretty ones!

Here's our strawberry plants. These take 3 years to fruit from seeds, so I had to buy them in plants. Hopefully they produce this year!



These are the store bought pepper plants.



And these are my little seedlings that I just transplanted. A few tomato plants survived as well, but we'll see if they actually survive move into the big boxes!

Is there anything sweeter?

I am totally in love with my baby! More adorable pics:



Apparently this is his new sleeping position





And it's so cute because he reaches for his hippo when I lay him down.




Zeke's new favorite food. BLUEBERRIES. HE takes after his big cousin Lincoln. HE LOVED THEM TOO! However they come out in acid poo. POOR BUM BUM. (tmi?)




He's such a messy eater he has to have a bath every day! That's not gel; it's crusty banana in his hair.




He loves eating his toys, so he usually has a foam goatee.





All clean now. HOORAY! He's pretty excited about it.

And this one is from last week. Jacqui and Lincoln came to visit. Zeke took one header, but we recovered. His balance was off in the deeper water. 2 inches is his limit! It looks like he's crying, but he's not. They're splashing and he's loving it!

This is us at the Park. Susanne was cracking Zeke up. He claps all day long. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE California weather!?

We have an 8 month old!

I forgot to take his picture until he was in his jimjams, but here he is!


He's eating meals of real food now. His favorites are waffles and bananas. Bananas are really messy though. Here he has them all over his face and in his hair.



His favorite pasttime is swinging at the park. We try to go once a week.

This is Zeke's army crawl. He's getting even better. Maybe by the end of the week it will be legit.

And here he is in his new jumper. I figured he was getting old, but my friend Susanne insisted we try it. I wan't too excited to have another bulky baby apparatus in our tiny house, but this one is worth it. He was cracking up right before I recorded this. And then he continued to bounce happily for another 30 min straight!

Playing Catch-up

Our baby turned 7 months old Jan 22. Here is that picture:

Every Wednesday we have girl's day at McDonald's. To keep Zeke quiet I gave him a biter biscuit. HE GOT IT EVERYWHERE! But he was quiet for a good 45 min! This is after I wiped his face, but his jeans and sweatshirt were toast!


Sometimes Zeke falls asleep in wierd positions. In this case, he was already sleeping and I was trying to feed him.


Once again, how did he fall asleep like this?


And his favorite pasttime, Playing in a 2 inch bath.
