<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,</div>
<div>
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,</div>
<div>
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,</div>
<div>
Sew on a button and butter the bread.</div>
<div>
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?</div>
<div>
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh, I’ve grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,</div>
<div>
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.</div>
<div>
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due,</div>
<div>
Lullabye, rockaby, lullabye loo.</div>
<div>
The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew</div>
<div>
And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo,</div>
<div>
But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo,</div>
<div>
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow</div>
<div>
For children grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.</div>
<div>
So quiet down cobwebs;</div>
<div>
Dust go to sleep!</div>
<div>
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.</div>

It's hard to believe that a year ago at this very minute, I was hours from meeting the face that would change my life forever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liam, you've made all our days brighter and all our laughs louder and all of our minutes are much more treasured with you in them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight I rocked my sweet boy to sleep for the very last time as a 'non' one-year-old. I cried into his hair and inhaled his scent for an extra long time, and then we sang 'Happy and you know it' and he clapped his hands, like he really loves to do. I lay him down in his crib and he stared up at me with those big eyes and I stared back, wondering how in the world he got so big so fast. Somewhere in between sleepless nights, growing teeth, and eating goldfish for the first time, my sweet cuddly baby turned into a <i>little boy.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so the cleaning and scrubbing in my house<i> is</i> waiting for tomorrow, because babies truly, truly don't keep.</div>

Can you believe it...this will be my LAST monthly 'Liam' update before my sweet man turns a YEAR OLD!!<br />I surely cannot believe it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**A little disclaimer/sidenote about the good ole bloggity blog...As you may or may not have noticed, I've not been blogging regularly. A few months ago, I decided that I had too much on my plate. From raising a baby, creative hobbies/outlets, my Etsy shop, keeping a house, having a social life...basically, I just decided to put blogging, as well as many of my other hobbies, aside and focus on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaLunaDesigns">my Etsy business</a>. Ultimately, my career will be in graphic design, so I decided to put most of my 'extra' energies there. Since then, my business has skyrocketed, and turned into an<i> actual </i>business rather than just a hobby! I couldn't be happier and I really am living my dream, doing graphic design for several hours every day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for now, blogging will continue to take a back burner. I'm going to keep up with Liam updates once a month or so. Maybe eventually I'll get back at it..when I discover more of this mysterious phenomenon called 'free time'...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a HUGE thank you to all of my customers! Thanks to the many Instagram followers and perhaps even blog readers who have reached out for custom party invitations, wall art, logos, etc. I appreciate your business and support more than I can say!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, without further ado..L man is 11 months!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Feeding:</b> L man is <i>basically</i> weaned from breastfeeding. When I say basically...a few weeks ago, I dropped his bedtime feeding and went to a bottle at bedtime. Liam mostly sleeps through the night, but not always, and he's been teething so he's been waking up. Sometimes he acts like he just wants to nurse, and somehow I still have a little milk left..so I let him nurse for 5 min or so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of people have asked about my weaning process, so here goes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up until 9 months, Liam was exclusively breastfed, and by exclusively, I mean, no bottles of pumped breastmilk, no formula. He did have table food and baby food/finger foods, but as far as a main source of nutrition, it was milk from the tap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why did I want to stop? Well...to be honest, it was partially because I just <b><i>wanted</i></b> to stop! I wanted my body back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(NOTHING wrong with that!! Ladies, I know breastfeeding is super controversial, but I don't know why! While I do think that breastmilk is the absolute best nutrition for a baby, and everyone should at least <i>try</i> it, every mom has her own right to choose the way she wants to feed her baby! Breastfeeding is a <i>huge</i> commitment. If you breastfeed, you're a <b>great</b> mom! And guess what? If you formula feed...you're also a <b>great</b> mom!)<br />ANYway. I digress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other main reason was because when Liam was about 7 months old, I got mastitis, followed up by an awful case of internal breast thrush (I've also heard of it referred to as fungal mastitis). AKA the MOST PAINFUL thing outside of labor that I've ever experienced. After 5 cycles of an antifungal medication and just as many trips to the doctor....two months later, I<i> still</i> had the thrush. The pain was not as severe, but I was still having to take several doses of Advil, and the pain was always brought on by nursing. So I came to the conclusion that weaning was the only thing that would get rid of it for good!<br />Ok...so Liam was 9 months old when I <i>finally</i> got him to take a bottle. We tried several, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lansinoh-mOmma-Feeding-Bottle-Ounce/dp/B006YPTWHC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380489334&sr=8-1&keywords=lansinoh+momma">this</a> was the one that worked for us. Great for breastfed babies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by dropping his mid-morning feed (right after his am nap) and swapping it for a bottle (formula). We did that for a month, so we were down to about three nursing sessions: First thing in am, mid-afternoon, and bedtime.<br />Month ten, we dropped the mid-afternoon and swapped it for a bottle. About two weeks later, my husband thought Liam seemed fussy in the morning, and tried giving him a bottle after I'd already nursed him.. I protested, but my husband was right. (first time ever!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liam just wasn't getting enough out of me. Since I'd gone from full time BF to dropping feedings, I'd started to dry up pretty quick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just like that, morning feeding was dropped. Glory hallelujah, my husband could get up with him sometimes!<br />Around 10.5 months is also the time I started introducing cow's milk. I started slow, about 2 oz a day mixed in with his formula, and just increased it by 2 ounces after a week or so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little after 11 months (he's almost 11.5) Liam just started to seem really uninterested in nursing at night. I had been nursing him and also giving him a 4 oz bottle because I didn't have enough milk to fill him, so it was time to drop that last feeding and give him a bottle instead. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, he's on full cow's milk as of about a week ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So his feeding schedule goes as such:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 oz milk first thing in the morning, and then he eats breakfast about half an hour later. Typical breakfasts might include:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Scrambled egg with cheese </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Fruit-whatever we have cut up. He really likes papaya, watermelon, grapes, & bananas.<br />I also like to get the little packs of mandarin oranges or pears for when we don't have anything cut up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Frozen waffle torn into pieces with peanut butter on it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Cheese </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lunchtime:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(We don't do a bottle after morning nap)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Grilled cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Cheese quesadilla</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or often, I'll just heat some leftovers from the previous night's dinner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Dinnertime:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes we do a bottle right after his afternoon nap, depending on how hungry he seems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He usually has what we're having for dinner, unless it's super spicy, or just isn't ready in time.<br />Then, I'll usually warm up some leftovers to tide him over.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sleep: </b>We've got a great sleep routine for the most part. Unless he's teething or just a flukey night, he usually sleeps through 12 hours. He goes down at 8:30, wakes about 8:30. If he does wake up at night, which honestly I would say happens once a week or every two weeks, maybe every night if he's teething, I try to let him cry for a little while unless he just sounds really upset. I'll go in and rock him and walk around the room with him (still with the lights off) and usually he will go right back to sleep. If he's just not having it, I'll give him a little milk to maintain my own sanity and get us back to sleep as soon as possible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Morning nap is usually at 10:30 and he sleeps about 2 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Afternoon nap is usually 3:30, and he'll sleep an hr/hr and a half.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Milestones: </b>More teeth this month! I think he's got eight in there right now, with maybe two more coming in. He's been gnawing away on his hands, so hopefully they make an appearance soon!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liam took his FIRST STEPS this past month!!</div>

Cutest thing everrrrr!!! He's since walked around a little bit, but still seems pretty apprehensive about it and prefers crawling. A funny thing I've noticed...he won't really walk unless he's holding something in his hand! I think he's thinking that whatever he has in his hand is helping him stay up in some way, either that or it helps him keep his balance. </div>

Ten months old means only two months until this little bullet's FIRST birthday, and of course, I'm in full planning party mode!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Venue is booked, invites are about half-way, almost, can't-decide-what-I-like, 'done', and I have a nice vision in my head as far as decor, food, & games. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am. SO excited!!</div>

<b>Feeding:</b> I've finally started the weaning process!! *Shew*! I have loved breastfeeding---Loved the bonding, the convenience, and have loved not paying for formula...but I am also LOVING the freedom I get now that he's taking a few bottles a day. My goal is for him to be completely weaned by age one. Right now, we are down to two nursing sessions a day--first thing in the morning and then at bedtime. We started weaning slowly. At 9 months, I started him on one bottle a day, and then right at 10, have transitioned his other daytime feedings--usually just one or two--to bottles. Thankfully Liam has taken any formula we've given him no problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may try a little bit of whole milk at 10.5 or 11 months and see how that goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that, he still pretty much eats whatever finger foods we give him, but just this month I've noticed him start to have a preference for things. He's been spitting out broccoli, and has been GOBBLING up cheese. He will actually pick cheese out of a pile of foods on his tray and eat it first. yeah...that's cute. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sleep:</b> Sleep has been pretty good and routine. We still have a few off nights...Liam's been teething like mad this month so that definitely affects sleep. He usually goes down about 9 and will wake up around 4:30/5. I can typically nurse him right back to sleep, but last night, really randomly he was up until 6 gnawing on his finger. I nursed him three times and he just kept waking up, but he finally went back to sleep until 9:30!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A typical wakeup time for him is 8 / 8:30, but weirdly he's been sleeping in a lot. Same bedtime, but several times over the past few weeks he's slept until 9:30. OF COURSE I slept that late, too...Liam is my alarm clock, and I am not the type of person to wake up early on my own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No complaints from me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Milestones: </b>Three teeth popped up this month, bringing us to seven total! Poor Liam, poor mama! Teething stinks, but they sure are cute! A friend recommended <a href="http://www.target.com/p/popsicle-mighty-minis-slow-melt-pops-24-ct/-/A-13752634#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=mighty+mini+popsicles">these popsicles</a> to me and I'm sooo glad I got them! They're teeny and 'slow' melt and perrrfect for babies, esp teething babies!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He learned to drink out of a straw this month, and learned to wave (SO cute!) but he still won't really wave at anyone but mommy and daddy. He just looks at them like a deer in the headlights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OH! AND shaky head and squinty eyes. He learned to shake his head back and forth and has been really proud of practicing that all day every day, looking like a little Liam bobble head..and he learned to scrunch up his eyes really squinty. ADORable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He isn't walking yet, and I kept saying I thought it would be soon, but who knows! He walks along furniture all the time, and walks with his walker, and has even stood unassisted for about 15 seconds at a time...so maybe one day soon he'll surprise us all with a few wobbly steps :)</div>

<b>Feeding:</b> Liam LOVES FOOD. The kid will. eat. anything. Like, absolutely anything we put in front of him he eats. I haven't found a food he dislikes. We've been trying different finger foods everyday, and most of the time he'll just eat whatever we're eating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He still nurses about 4-5 times a day. I'm in the process of trying to wean him, and he had his first bit of formula this month. (I felt a tad bit of that 'mom guilt' but guess what? He lived to tell about it!) Ideally I would like to nurse to a year, but about two months ago, I got mastitis. Mastitis turned into a bad case of internal thrush, and I STILL have it. They say it's really hard to get rid of, especially in Hawaii where it's nice and moist. I've been through five cycles of an anti-fungal medication to no avail., and I'm afraid that my only hope may be to stop nursing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, up until a few days ago, Liam would not take a bottle. At all! And we'd tried several different types.<br />Here's what we did that somehow worked: He woke up one night around 11, which he doesn't usually do. Keith was trying to calm him, but he only wanted me. Well, I'd had a few drinks, so I didn't want to nurse him. I made a bottle, and then held him in the position that he usually nurses in, but I had the bottle in place instead. He latched right on and guzzled it! I think it probably helped that it was dark and he was so sleepy anyway, but he's latched right onto the bottle for us every day since then!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sleep:</b> Sleep has been great this month. Liam normally sleeps from 9-7:30 straight, with the exception of a few random times where he'll wake up once in the night. I wait a few minutes to see if he'll go right back to sleep. If not, I nurse him for 10 and then I can usually set him back in his crib and he'll go back to sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naps have been wonderful. I put him down for his morning nap around 9--he usually cries for 5-10 minutes and then zonks out, usually for 2-2.5 hours!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Afternoon nap is anytime between 2 & 3:30, whenever I feel like he's acting really sleepy, and it will usually last an hour to hour and a half.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Milestones: </b>Still crawling all over, still pulling & standing on everything. The big one this month was that he starting cruising furniture and walking with his walker! He can also stand on his own for a few seconds, but he's very leery of doing so :)</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, a very fun exciting month! This is my favorite age!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(But so far, they've ALL been my favorite. :)</div>

Happy Monday!<br />I know I've not been blogging lately--</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been getting a ton of custom design orders, (shameless plug here! Check out <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaLunaDesigns">my Etsy shop</a> if you need anything custom-designed! I've got lots of awesome pre-designed invites, too, as well as Save-the Dates, Nursery, Art, & More!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway so that, coupled with other day-to-day obligations, have become my priority!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a spare few minutes this morning though, so I wanted to toss up our menu for the week.</div>

Marinated Pork Tenderloin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We eat pork tenderloin a lot because it's a pretty lean cut a meat, is inexpensive, and really, really delicious. One of my favorite ways to do it is to marinate it in our favorite marinade or rub (I usually just buy a 'grill mates' packet from the spice aisle!) and then grill it! (Or broil if we don't feel like firing up the grill).</div>

Who doesn't love chicken legs? They're super cheap and super easy to prepare? Again..A lot of times I'll just buy a bottled marinade (Lawry's are awesome!) and throw on the grill/broiler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Never made it, but looks super delicious! I'm definitely a fan of these 'one-pot' meals where you can throw in pretty much everything you need for dinner.</div>

I was doing my meal plan/grocery list Thursday and I stumbled across my new FAVORITE blog/website for healthy meals... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Awesome and awesome! SO SO many recipes you guys, and everything is organized so well by category over on the right hand side...I seriously did almost our entire meal plan for the next two weeks from this site. And I have to say...I'm suuper excited about some of the grub we're in for!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok. I made this already. OMG. OMG. I can't even say how good it was! I'm actually really disappointed there weren't more leftovers... my husband LOVED it too. Like, really really really loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's soo healthy, too--so many fresh veggies, and you can really use whatever veggies you like best--red potatoes, but sweet potatoes would be awesome too, and the SAUSAGE, man the sausage. I used spicy italian turkey sausage and it was to DIE for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ate mine with a small side of light sour cream.... perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(this whole skillet would be great for breakfast, too!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Had last night. Also awesome. I really modified this recipe, though-- I didn't notice that the directions asked me to bake it for an hour, and I didn't have time for that, so I did it like a stir-fry. I cooked the chicken in a skillet, and then did a separate pan of fresh veggies--broccoli, zucchini & yellow squash-- and then served everything over brown rice with the sauce on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't <i>love</i> the sauce-- it was really sweet for me, so next time I'll modify it with much less sugar. Or, just use your favorite bottled sauce!</div>

A friend recommended this one, thanks Amber, and I can't wait to try it! It's not exactly 'healthy', but I'll use veggie pasta and serve lots of fresh veggies on the side to make up for it!</div>

Happy Monday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know how the weather is in your neck of the woods, but it's a bit overcast and rainy on the sunny island of Oahu today...And I'm very thankful for it! We rarely get overcast days, and it's a nice break from the heat we've been getting lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nearly noon (Liam slept til 9:30 today...???) and we are all still in jammies! Even though I've been working all morning on some custom design projects that have a tight deadline, it's still been a nice, lazy start to our week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what's on our menu for the week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a few things that we were 'supposed' to have a few weeks ago and for whatever reason we didn't. I still have all the ingredients, so I added them back and hopefully we'll get to them this week. </div>

I've never made this, but my gosh it looks hearty and delicious!! While it's not 'technically' a crock-pot meal, I think it would work in the crock pot just as well. </div>

So I was at the grocery store last week and the lean ground beef was MAJORLY marked down... Like $1.50 a pound or something? So I bought at least 8 pounds, and now I'm looking for lots of yummy recipes that use ground beef. This was one I found that looks yummy!</div>

One of those things we were supposed to have a few weeks ago. You're supposed to marinate the chicken like, overnight. Is it just me? Do you always forget to marinate too? SO hopefully I'll remember the night before this time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Feeding:</b> I still haven't really found a food that Liam dislikes! He's tried lots of new things this month...new purees, and we've introduced lots and lots of finger foods. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A typical day now goes like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's still nursing, so first thing in the morning, he nurses for about 15-20 min. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
About an hour later, some oatmeal mixed with fruit, and maybe some cheerios.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After his morning nap, he nurses again (15-20) and then I'll usually give some type of snack-- usually just a small little finger food. I haven't really introduced solids for lunch yet, but some days, if I feel like he's acting really hungry, I'll give him a puree an hour or so after he nurses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After his afternoon nap, he'll nurse for maybe 10 minutes, and then an hour or so later, it's dinner time. I have started giving him cut-up veggies, cheese, deli meat, diced peaches/pears, bread, etc. Sometimes, he'll get some of what we've having. If I feel like he didn't eat a lot of it, I'll feed him a puree, too.<br />
Then he nurses before bed time for 15-20 minutes.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sleep:</b> Every time we get into a good sleep routine, it changes!! We grew more teeth this month, so for the most part, he woke up about once a night. I think he was just uncomfortable and couldn't put himself back to sleep, mostly. I usually just nurse him for 10 minutes and he goes right back to sleep, and thankfully, so do I!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naps have been a little easier this month, aside from a few rough days. He's actually started taking longer naps... (3 hours some days!!) which is <i>unheard</i> of for Liam! Up until now, he's never been a long napper. Anyway, I attribute it to growing, and I'll gladly embrace it! He usually takes two naps a day, the first one being 2-2.5 hours, the second one is always a little shorter. </div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Milestones: </b>Man.. SUCH a big month for milestones!! If you read my <a href="http://keithandangiepope.blogspot.com/2013/05/7-months-old.html">7 month post</a>, you'll see that he was 'mobile'... scooting, dragging, army crawling, etc., but not full on crawling on all fours. A few days after he turned 7 months, he just figured it out and hasn't stopped since!! Crawling EVERYwhere. And he's gotten FAST!!</div>

(The dog food is his FAVORITE thing to play with/eat....)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He started standing in his crib a while ago, but around the same time he started crawling, he also started pulling up on everything. He just wants to crawl, crawl, crawl & stand, stand, stand!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

He also figured out... completely on his own... how to climb the stairs... ????</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've also grown two more teeth this past month (for a grand total of FOUR!) and almost learned to say 'mama'!! I'd say it was a very productive month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Adventures: </b>We didn't do anything huge this month, other than the typical beach trips & lots of playdates with other babes! Liam definitely got all his 'adventurousness' out by exploring every nook and cranny of the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh! But he did get to experience his first carnival, where he rode the carousel, went to the petting zoo, and watched a fun circus show. He loved every bit of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mommy and Daddy could not get through the month without: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My gosh, those gates!! Lots of patience and energy, because we've been doing a lot of chasing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just for fun...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(He has definitely outgrown the blanket I used to take his photos on!)</div>

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend / Father's Day was great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband is on a new shift at work, so he had to work this weekend, but thankfully he got to come home early and we had a nice Father's Day dinner!</div>

Since I didn't post last Monday, I wanted to share a couple of things I made this past week that we loved:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://www.julieseatsandtreats.com/2013/03/chicken-ranch-burgers-2/">Chicken Ranch Burgers</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yummy and Yummy! SOO good! I did this in my broiler, and used light ranch to make it even 'healthier'. I always recommend <i>not</i> getting cheap buns when you do a meal like this, because to me, the bun makes a huge difference! We always get the big, fluffy potato buns. I served this with sweet potato fries (of course!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/04/grilled-buffalo-chicken.html">Grilled Buffalo Chicken</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you like buffalo sauce, it's a must try! I used a few breasts and some legs, and we used our gas grill for these. I served it with some grilled corn on the cob, sweet tea, and we ate in the yard, tiki torches burning. Can we say summer?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what's on the menu for this week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vA5kLPqEQLIJC9TVzNLkUi7vqVHVtmJ61SYcsTBB8uGb7hAac9ynQZ1iRupsVJr2eJo-fmZQB_uMEv8VwdWZ-12kdiDWIlKr64h4njCV3UXp-RYZBfFMHT8_EBqG-VNHwzEs81EGBXo/s1600/WEEKLYMENU.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vA5kLPqEQLIJC9TVzNLkUi7vqVHVtmJ61SYcsTBB8uGb7hAac9ynQZ1iRupsVJr2eJo-fmZQB_uMEv8VwdWZ-12kdiDWIlKr64h4njCV3UXp-RYZBfFMHT8_EBqG-VNHwzEs81EGBXo/s640/WEEKLYMENU.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://rachelschultz.com/2012/10/06/cheesy-chicken-wild-rice-casserole-2/"><br /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://rachelschultz.com/2012/10/06/cheesy-chicken-wild-rice-casserole-2/">Cheesy Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've made a similar recipe that used to be on the back of a Campbell's Soup can, but this one looks even more fresh & yummy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/2013/04/best-ever-crockpot-pulled-pork.html">Crock Pot Pulled Pork Sandwiches:</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
UM, YES please. These look not only super delicious, but also super easy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also planning on ... (Drumroll, please...) making my own BBQ Sauce!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The website raaaves about this sauce, so I figured, why not!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/2012/08/kc-style-barbecue-sauce-kansas-city.html">KC Style BBQ Sauce</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dashrecipes.com/recipes/contributors/the-simple-kitchen/meat-lovers-pizza-pasta-bake.html">Pizza Pasta Bake</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looks like such a man's meal! My husband loves pizza, and loves pizza with a lot of meat, so I'm sure this will be a homerun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shake & Bake Pork Chops</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No recipe really necessary here. I always get the boneless pork loin chops, and Kraft makes this new 'Shake & Bake Kit' that's in the shredded cheese section. Delish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdargis.tumblr.com/post/18818836004/garlic-pesto-chicken-with-tomato-cream-penne">Garlic Pesto Chicken</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never really made anything with pesto, but this looks really, really good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great week, friends!</div>

Getting this in late, but I'm gettin it in! Today was busy! I spent several hours working on a 'top-secret' father's day gift that I'm sooo excited about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And theeenn I made some homemade salsa and homemade guacamole to go with tonight's dinner...another thing I'm super stoked for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Hubby was off today so he and Liam when on a little boy's afternoon out and gave me lots of free time. IT. WAS. AWESOME!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so one of my bestest blogger buddies Tessa <a href="http://www.bedtimechronicles.com/">(http://www.bedtimechronicles.com)</a> introduced me to this AMAZING casserole. Made it once...didn't have nearly enough leftovers. The hubby <i>raved </i>about it, and I loved it just as much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://greatfoodpins.com/?p=3611">Here </a>is the salsa recipe I used for tonight. (I've already tasted it. YUMMY!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as guacamole, I've been making it so long that I just do it to taste. Usually just throw in some sea salt, garlic, and lime juice until it tastes good!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Marinated Pork Tenderloin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pork tenderloin is SO easy. (And lean, too!) For this one, all I do is marinate it with a seasoning packet (I get the McCormick grill mates, super yummy!) and if we feel like firing up the grill, we'll grill it. If not, I use the good ole broiler!</div>

I could LIVE on Chick-Fil-A everything, but to get to one I'd have to Kayak the Pacific. These look pretty legit like a copycat Chick-Fil-A version...we shall see!</div>

I guess I didn't think we had enough pasta on the menu this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make my pasta dishes more 'healthy', I always get wheat pasta if it's available. </div>

Several People asked me where I got these crochet-type swim cover up pants after I posted a picture on IG--I got mine from TJMaxx! Total score, because I've been looking online and they're really pricey other places! (mine were 16$)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/becca-crochet-cover-up-pants/3390280?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=becca_crochet_cover-up_pants:616181&cm_pla=swimwear:women:cover-up&cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&mr:referralID=561b4516-ca35-11e2-a969-001b2166c2c0">these </a>really cute ones from Nordstrom, but the price is REDIC!! I mean, honestly Nordy, 70 bucks for pants with holes? Do I LOOK retarded?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd def recommend looking at TJ's/Ross/Target if you want something similar. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate buying tons of baby toys that are pointless (And those things get expensive!!) so I googled best toys for development. I found <a href="http://www.babble.com/baby/buy-developmental-toys-for-baby-gift-ideas/">this chart </a>that goes by age! A lot of fantastic ideas on there. Anyway, stacking rings and wooden blocks are both on there, so I got a cheap set of both. (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ryans-Room-Wooden-Toys-Blocks/dp/B003YA33Q6/ref=sr_1_9?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1369852966&sr=1-9&keywords=wooden+blocks">Here </a>are the blocks we got. They come with a canvas bag for storage--handy!) Liam can't exactly stack the rings yet, but he loves to knock them down and carry the individual pieces around the house. I think he likes the clanking noise it makes on the ground while he's crawling...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have ventured into the world of finger foods! Puffs, Lil Crunchies, Waffle Wheels...I love em' all! (Liam does too!) The waffle wheels are probably my favorite because they are bigger and last longer. If he's fussing, I'll hand him a Waffle Wheel and be good for at least 5-10 minutes while he plays with it, crawls around with it, and finally (maybe...) eats it! These say they're for a 'crawler' on the package, but I started giving them to Liam pry around 6.5 months when he was still learning to crawl. As with any food--don't feed to your baby unsupervised, and I make it a rule to never feed him snacks in the carseat since I wouldn't know if he was choking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ahhh yes. We teethed this month. Liam is actually working on tooth number <i>four</i> right now--four teeth in one month! Yeah, it was rough. I really think the Orajel helped.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I make Liam's food most of the time, but obviously if we're on the go, these are much more convenient. Earth's Best, Plum Organics, and Happy Tot are my favorite in terms of ingredients. Liam doesn't really have a favorite--he'll eat anything. Still haven't found a food he doesn't like....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mentioned Baby Food Making--This book really helped me get started. It goes into the basics of cooking/pureeing, lists the best foods by age, foods baby shouldn't eat, and has countless puree recipes. After awhile I just started experimenting on my own, but if you plan on making your own baby food, I'd definitely recommend a book!</div>

Happy Monday! Err...Tuesday! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long weekends always do that to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only 4 days this week--YAY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry I was a slacker on blogging last week...I seriously have a list of posts I'm dying to do. There's this little thing called 'time' that I always seem to run out of though...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition to that small glitch, I was stricken down with Mastitis last week. (Yes, I said <i>stricken</i>.) Of course, they couldn't squeeze me in for a same day appointment, and I wanted antibiotics right away, so I spent 7 hours at the ER. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT! Thankfully that was worth it, the drugs kicked in quickly and I felt so much better w/in 12 hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, since I've officially had <i>every possible problem</i> you can have with breastfeeding, (thrush, plugged ducts, milk blisters, blah blah blah) someday I'll do a blog post about them all. Someday! When someone gifts me some of that 'time' earlier spoken of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So. In other news, how was your long weekend?!<br />Ours was fantastic! We spent some time on a boat, a few days at the beach, BBQ'd a couple times, shopped for baby gates, and just relaxed!<br />But now that the week has started again, it's back to our routine and back to cookin!<br />Here's what we're havin this week!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are yummy and pretty quick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as baked sweet potatoes--my absolute FAVORITE side. So easy, so good for you.<br />I just bake it like a normal potato, but it usually takes longer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Pre-heat oven to 400</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Wash potatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Wrap in foil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Stab several times </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Bake for about an hour, or until fork tender</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YUM!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've raved about this before. Another FAVE! Yummy, delicious, good, nom nom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of veggies, and of course, I use sweet potatoes instead of regular. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whip up some biscuits (And by whip up, I do mean....use the canned ones. CHEATER!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And maybe a salad on the side. </div>

Yet another Pinterest find that has become a regular. By far my favorite 'stir-fry, chinese night' recipe. I always add fresh broccoli and serve over brown rice. </div>

I have not made these yet, but they look yummy!<br />Does anybody have any good side ideas for mexican night? I always have a hard time coming up with a veggie.... do refried beans count?</div>

Hap Hap Happy Monday! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope your weekend was grand!<br />We spent all day Saturday at the beach with tans/burns for all, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and all day Sunday doing some much needed house cleaning. Keith actually took it upon himself to <i>detail</i> my kitchen...and by detail, I mean he literally emptied every cabinet, cleaned, and reorganized them all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Liam is offically in fully crawly mode, so we needed to do some kitchen baby-proofing, including moving all our chemicals/cleaners to a high cabinet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anywho...With a super shiny, newly organized kitchen, I'm looking forward to cooking this week!<br />Here's what we're having:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLsZhOh3REExdiAIRyE-Ywcb_e59_bkseAxixEZBvJg4j8wtUTNMHS7Eyr8KjpwdVgUTA3KqcE4eBkSWB8toZbjSexbSEthFBNiqA13ahHV3Sdi4iyn_hgSrfMzshpzuCNOQ8261wMn3A/s1600/WEEKLYMENU.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLsZhOh3REExdiAIRyE-Ywcb_e59_bkseAxixEZBvJg4j8wtUTNMHS7Eyr8KjpwdVgUTA3KqcE4eBkSWB8toZbjSexbSEthFBNiqA13ahHV3Sdi4iyn_hgSrfMzshpzuCNOQ8261wMn3A/s640/WEEKLYMENU.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spaghetti:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't really do anything super special with my spaghetti. I use lean-ground beef and cook it with onions & green bell peppers. Usually throw in some salt, pepper, & lots of garlic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add our favorite pasta sauce (usually I get the Ragu that has a full serving of veggies) and serve with whole-grain spaghetti.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/159606242/crock-pot-chicken-ranch-tacos/">CrockPot Chicken Ranch Tacos</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've made just regular Chicken Tacos in the CrockPot and they're delicious, so I thought I'd give this recipe a whirl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cristinecooks.blogspot.com/2008/08/day-31-recipes-55-56-bonus-and-thank.html">CrockPot BBQ Ribs</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband loves Ribs. LOVES. They can be kind of intimidating to make, but I feel like they're really hard to mess up in the CrockPot. They always come out super tender, and there isn't much work required at all! I've done them before, but this exact recipe is new to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.simply-gourmet.com/2011/07/28-monte-cristo-sandwiches.html">Monte Cristo</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're never had a Monte Cristo...You NEED to try one. I've only had them at restaurants, but I haven't had one in awhile. I found this recipe and can't keep myself from trying it. It's definitely not the healthiest meal...maybe we'll just have extra broccoli on the side...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeid=57621">Honey Mustard Chicken</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is from the Weight Watchers site (to make up for Monte Cristo night :) but you can't tell at all! I've made this chicken before & it's AWESOME. One of my top 3 baked chicken recipes.</div>

<b>Feeding:</b> Liam has so far liked every single food he's tasted, even just plain peas, spinach, carrots. EVERYthing. So I try to keep it pretty diverse. Food has gotten so fun! I've been experimenting with making my own and have been pureeing my heart out! (Baby-food-making post coming soon!)</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is what the day looks like in terms of food:</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liam wakes up for a really early morning feed a little before 6, and I just pull him into bed and nurse him. He's up for the day a little after 8, and I nurse him again. Then usually 9:30/10ish we do oatmeal mixed with a fruit puree. I use the gerber whole wheat cereal and either a fruit puree I've made myself, mash some bananas, or I'll squeeze in a little bit from a pouch. Typically, I'd say he'll eat at least 4 oz of cereal/fruit mixture.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
After his morning nap, he'll nurse again, and then about an hour later, I've just started putting him in his highchair and just giving him a few puffs/torn up turkey/pieces of bread. Just a few small finger foods.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
After his afternoon nap, he nurses again (4:30-5ish). Dinner is around 6:30 and normally consists of a mixture of whatever food I have made for him. Zucchini, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Squash, Broccoli, and even pureed Chicken are some of our regulars. The boy can down about 6 oz of pureed food at dinner time. I've just started giving him a few small fingerfoods at dinnertime as well--most goes on the floor or in his chair, but I have seen him actually get a few pieces into his mouth! It's fun watching him learn to feed himself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151586502159520&set=vb.731844519&type=2&theater">Here</a> is a video of him eating finger foods!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sleep:</b> The past month was half-half. The first half was great! Every night he slept straight through, 8:30-5:30, woke to nurse, then back down until about 8.<br />Then he got a fever from teething and had a rough week :( He was up every few hours wanting to nurse and just wanted mama. Poor guy.<br />Those few really rough nights, I just put him in the pack & play in our room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But thankfully I think that's over and we're back to normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naptimes are still kinda rough some days. The kid just doesn't like to nap! When I hear people talking about 2 hours naps, I'm like..WTF is that??! HA! I'm really lucky if I get an hour nap out of him, and he almost always cries for at least 10 minutes before he falls asleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I typically just place him in the crib with his lovie and white noise and leave the room.<br />He always falls asleep eventually...it's just not always for very long :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once in awhile I'll have a fluke day where he'll take a looong nap and I FEEL LIKE I'VE WON THE LOTTO!!!!</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Milestones: </b>Learning to crawl has been the big milestone this month. He's been scooting a pulling himself along the floor like crazy. No more leaving him alone for too long! He'll get into the crawling position and crawl a few steps, and then he just goes down to his stomach and pulls himself along!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't put many videos on YouTube this month, but I did on FB. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see one of him trying to crawl <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151586586084520&set=vb.731844519&type=2&theater">Here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's also learned to sit himself up this month. He's been sitting alone since about 4 months, but just now has learned to pull himself up from laying down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of pulling up...He's pulled up to a standing position all by himself! Just the first time a few days ago--we walked into his room and he was completely standing up in his crib! Time to lower that mattress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another HUGE milestone--Liam got two teeth! It's crazy how fast it happened....he didn't have any teething symptoms really.....Not at all fussy for the bottom ones. The Dr. pointed out that they were going to come through soon, and 3 days later, there they were!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The top teeth...haven't been so easy. It's crazy that they're already coming in so soon after the bottom teeth broke through. He got a low grade fever at the beginning of the week, was super cranky, would flinch when we touched his gums...poor guy :( We're just waiting for them to make an appearance!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Neucha; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Adventures: </b>We had a super fun month of adventures! Some good friends of ours came to visit from Colorado and they had their son about a month after Liam was born so the boys got to meet for the first time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mommy and Daddy could not get through the month without: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Teething supplies! Seriously. Teething tablets, orajel, and tylenol to bring his fever down.</div>
</div>
<br />

I hope you're having a good May! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I discovered some fun new products this month that made it to my 'favorites' list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEkEAWPlJX6EtIn1XK5WXR6Dg0x2vzAeN8x7fQxlM8ajGQQzg12G2yv1bxatcWddr2KmtJAl55Z6-L7ExY2K_tE0tP6BlL_3vBakrsHY3tGJSP_yXZ53eB7lMwOrk2Xfbq7p9BctHlZ-I/s1600/MonthlyBeautyFaves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="523" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEkEAWPlJX6EtIn1XK5WXR6Dg0x2vzAeN8x7fQxlM8ajGQQzg12G2yv1bxatcWddr2KmtJAl55Z6-L7ExY2K_tE0tP6BlL_3vBakrsHY3tGJSP_yXZ53eB7lMwOrk2Xfbq7p9BctHlZ-I/s640/MonthlyBeautyFaves.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.target.com/p/up-up-rmvr-10ct-npr-pads/-/A-13971851#prodSlot=medium_1_14&term=nail+polish+remover">1. Up & Up Nail Polish Remover Pads</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a type of product that I probably never would have bought myself, but Keith won them at a baby shower. Since he hasn't painted his nails in months, he gave them to me. They are awesome!! So much easier than getting out the bottle of nail polish remover & cotton balls. One pad takes off all of my nail polish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure of the price on these since they're not sold on the website, but you can find them at any Target.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/eos-Organic-Smooth-Sphere-Balm/dp/B009QTDYYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368649052&sr=8-1&keywords=eos+lip+balm">2. Eos Lip Balm</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$3.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eos lip balms go on very smoothly, have an SPF 15 and are all-natural.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always loved them, and then I tried the mint flavor. It leaves your lips a little tingly, and works as a breath freshener too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/LOreal-Studio-Secrets-Magic-Light/dp/B0084A5PVM/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1368649264&sr=1-1&keywords=loreal+bb+cream">3. L'Oreal BB Cream</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$6.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend recommended this to me and I'm so glad I tried it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great alternative to using a heavier foundation. It goes on super light, but provides a good, medium coverage. It really evens out your skin tone, and moisturizes as well. No 'cakey' makeup feel at all, and the price is fantastic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I hope you had a great weekend and a great Mother's Day!<br />
<br />
My weekend was very eventful for many reasons:<br />
Saturday my phone was stolen (or lost...but most likely stolen).... It was my own fault...I accidentally left it on a picnic table at a very crowded event and obviously it wasn't there when I went back for it. It kinda put a huge damper on the beginning of the weekend, but I tried not to let it ruin everything. It's a material object and can easily be replaced!<br />
<br />
Mother's Day was wonderful! My husband did great. He's not always the type to plan ahead for things, but this time he did and I was very impressed.<br />
I woke up to a trail of photos from 'Liam' with messages on them leading to his crib.<br />
Keith got me a ring that Liam 'picked out' with Liam's birthstone in the center, mine and Keith's on the outside. Very sweet and very thoughtful.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This I have made several times and it is my absolute favorite grilled chicken recipe. It's definitely one to serve if you have guests--they'll definitely ask for seconds!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always done it with chicken breasts instead of thighs because my husband hates grilling thighs.</div>
Also...I can never seem to find 'chipotle chili powder' and it's just as awesome without.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we grill, I like to throw a foil packet full of veggies on as a side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my favorite mix/method for foil grilled veggies:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2-4 yellow squash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2-4 zucchini</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 onions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Garlic Powder to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sea Salt/Pepper to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chop the veggies into bite sized pieces and put in a large ziplock bag. Pour olive oil & lemon juice over the top & shake to coat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add garlic powder, salt & pepper to your liking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrap tightly in foil so none of the juice escapes & grill until done (about 10 min. per side)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday, have a good week!</div>

I try to make my own baby food as often as possible, and these things have come in very handy. Each one is 2 oz, perfect size to just grab out a few for dinner. The lids snap on nice & tight so they work great for freezing, and they come with a little tray for easier organization.</div>

The husband actually came home with this one night and I couldn't get over how genius it was! We only have one tub in our house, and I just really can't. Stand. Clutter. AT ALL! So this is awesome. It suctions to the side of the shower wall and holds all of Liam's bath toys. They're easily accessible, but still out of the way.</div>

A friend actually gave us this as a hand-me-down right after we had Liam and at a little after 5 months we finally broke it out. He really took to it! It's got all sorts of buttons to push and he seems to have a lot of fun messing with it. I'm not sure how good of a 'walker' it will be though--it seems really lightweight and I think it'll tip over easily, but with supervision it'll work great.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've learned that a lot of 'toys' Liam likes best aren't toys at all but just basic household items. (If you have a baby, I'm sure you'll agree! Keys...iPhone...Laptop...Cup of coffee...their favorite toys are things they can't have....) Anyway, I was getting Liam's dinner ready one night and he was NOT interested in waiting any amount of time to eat. The fruit bowl was right there so I grabbed an orange and put it on his highchair tray. He quieted down & it kept him entertained until I was ready to feed him. Now we almost always give him fruit to play with when we're at the table and he's not eating.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This definitely isn't a 'must-have', just a 'nice to have'. If you're a germ-a-phobe than it's probably a must-have for you. I'm personally not <i>too</i> too much of a germ-a-phobe, but when it comes to shopping carts & especially high chairs, I just get a little grossed out. Ew, who knows what's been on there. And Liam, like every other baby, WILL be putting his mouth all over the shopping cart handle and the edge of a public highchair. One thing I really like about this particular cover is that it's got toys attached, and little loops to attach your own toys, plus a tether to attach a sippy cup.</div>

I'm posting this a little late, but I'm posting it! That's all that matters, right? :) It's 5:53 Hawaii time, my husband is cooking dinner (and it's not even a special occasion...I'm not allowed to know what we're having yet, stay tuned...) and Liam is asleep. Normally I don't let him nap this late, but his two naps today were both less than an hour. So yeah. Sleep away little boy, cook away big boy, and I'm enjoying the peace & quiet!!</div>

BBQ chicken pizza is my faaavorite pizza of all time! I get the Pilsbury refrigerated pizza crust (I've made my own before but...Ain't Nobody Got Time for DAT!) about 1/2 cup of bbq sauce, pre-cooked grilled chicken (found in the deli / lunchmeat section) throw on some red onion & green onion, mozzarella & voila!! </div>

Aloha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some dear friends of ours visited us on the island this past week, so I took a little blogging hiatus. It was super nice to be 'offline' for a week or so. I tried not to be on Facebook or Instagram as much while they were here either, (I said <i>as much</i>...I'm not sure I could even <i>try</i> to abstain from social networks completely....)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, as much as I love blogging, it was really nice & really refreshing to have a break! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did lots of road-tripping around the island, tons of time at the beach, playing with the boys, and just spending some quality time together. </div>
