Balanced Diet

I have had another brilliant idea. (Some day one of my ideas will make LaChelle, my partner in crime, and me rich and famous.) So here it is. Babies learn eating habits from parents, but if you are like me it is more of a "do as I say not as I do," type of thing. I have a plan to help. We will invent a product that helps parents give their kids a balanced diet baby food style. I'm not talking about all those gross baby food combos like mac and cheese and chicken dinner, I'm talking good stuff. We will take the child's portion and separate it into two or three parts. In each compartment we will have a different food group. For instance here is what Glen would eat if my genius plan were in action now. Breakfast, open container one and you have peaches and oatmeal. Lunch- Chicken and tomato soup, Dinner- rice, apple sauce, and carrots. Not a completely balance diet, but hey maybe LaChelle and I can find a pediatric nutritionist to help plan the menu. I think it is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Any one want to sponsor this new amazing product line? Anyone...come on, it is way better then the Darn It sock store.

Bouncing Baby Boy

I have always wondered why people use the term "bouncing baby boy," now I know. Glen is a bouncing baby boy. At first I though he was just getting used to supporting him weight on his legs, but after months of standing I was wondering what was he was doing. Then my neighbor who loves to watch him was telling me how much he loves her bouncing swing, so after Christmas I went and bought him one. He has no problem supporting him weight, we want to jump. He will spend half an hour in his swing bouncing, no bouncing is the wrong word, jumping up and down laughing and not get tired of it. I jumps really high too. It reminds me of the astronaut training no gravity training. Boy can this kid jump!

Fruit Pizza

John was having a guest over for dinner one night a while ago and asked me to make a special dessert. I wanted to try my hand at a fruit Pizza. I love to make the patterns on fruit pizzas. I made a batch of sugar cookies, rolled it all out into one giant, lopsided cookie and baked it on my trusty baking stone. Then I made a cream cheese frosting and began the fun. What do you think?
