Pigs Fly ~ Day 80

When my husband & I first got married he wouldn't touch broccoli.  

Now?  Yeah.  It's like his favorite vegetable.  Not kidding.  He actually bought some fresh

broccoli on his own.  Not only that?  But he is big into steaming the veggies now.  You

know.  Because they retain more of their vitamins that way.  How funny is that? 

I'm not complaining though.

And my stepson?  Brenden?  Well he HATES broccoli!  I mean HATES it.  

You'll never guess what he said tonight @ dinner.  He actually said.... get this.... 

that he liked whatever kind of broccoli it was we made tonight (fresh vs. frozen).

  I about fell over!  Because, did I mention?  He HATES it!

Or he did. 

So I guess maybe pigs DO fly?  Who knew?!

OK so I am getting off track.  

My point is we have been eating a lot of fresh, steamed broccoli lately. 

It's a perfect food for Baby Led Weaning too because Dell can just hold 

on to the stalk & munch away.  And boy does he ever! 

 Aahrrr! 

 

 Good stuff!

 

 We added some mashed potatoes into the mix.  Yum!

 

 Time for a quick rinse off!

 

Make Me Laugh!! Photo Challenge & Our Sunday ~ Day 79

This weeks photo challenge @ the paper mama is "Make Me Laugh!!"

That is exactly what we did when I captured the moment below in a photo.
We were all sitting there enjoying some Olive Garden take out.  Since we were @ my
brother-in-law's house, I didn't have a high chair for Dell, and I was too lazy to I didn't
bring along the portable one.  So we sat him in the center of the table to eat.  We then joked
about half way though dinner how he was the cutest centerpiece EVER! 
  He seemed to think this was pretty funny too!

play the piano for her baby brother.  He just loved it!

Keeping Cool, Big Elephants &An 80's Hair Band? ~ Day 76

Day 75 continued....

Wednesday Night... 

 The weather has been horribly H.  O.  T!  Finally last night it had cooled 

enough that we were able to take the stir crazy kids outside to burn off

some energy.  Directly into the pool they went!

In addition to the refreshing pool water, Dell also enjoyed an ice 

cold teether & being showered with a watering can by Daddy.

Day 76

Today....

Dell "met" his big blue elephant today that was a gift from Momaw & Popaw for Christmas.  When it was given to him he was way smaller than the elephant.  I could kick myself am sad for not thinking @ the time to take a photo of him with the elephant! 

Check him out smiling behind his Binky!

He just loved grasping his ears!

Big sister Kensi even joined in the fun.  He's very snugly!

Dell has been sleeping in his own room for night time & naps now for a few weeks.  

He loves sleeping with his Boppy Pillow.  We first started this in the co sleeper in our room to

help with his reflux a little.  It ended up being a great way to transition him to his own bed,

since he then had something familiar with him that he associated with bedtime.

He loves gazing up @ his mobile.

This is just a random shot I took of him today being so

darned cute that Mommy can hardly take it!  I mean seriously?

Look @ those cheeks!!

And now for the 80's Hair Band part of this post!  Dell's daddy is in a band that 

plays 80's "hair band" music.  They dress all rocker glam & wear wigs.  The 

whole kit n' kaboodle.  We decided to have a little fun tonight with said wig. 

Here is our good friend Neela sporting the 'do.

And sister Kensi!

And lastly, but certainly never least....

Dell rocking the 'do!

Did you get a good chuckle?  We sure did!
