climbing toddler

I found Felix on top of the changing tabe this morning:) He was very proud of himself. Justin and I then decided it was only a matter of time before he started climbing out of his bed so we got out the toddler bed and put away the crib. Felix spent the next 10 min. counting to three and jumping off his bed. Hopefully he goes to sleep well, but I don't think that is going to happen :)

Blog Stats

Do you look at your bolg stats? I had no idea until last year that they existed. Justin showed them to me. It is pretty cool. I love seeing the different countries that people are in when they look at my blog. Like today I looked at my week stats and I had a hit from Kazakhstan this week! Super cool! I do miss all the India hits I used to get. (Justin was in India). Anyways, Thank you people who look at my blog from other countries. You make my day when I look at my stats!

Pesto Pizza is the Besto!

Justin had an awesome idea last month. Do a different pizza every night for one month. And for my birthday Justin bought me a pizza stone!! sooooo I am going to do it. I am very excited. I have a list of ideas and I can not wait to try them all!!! Yesterday I just made a regular supreme pizza with red sauce nothing really exciting. But today I made a keeper: The Besto Pesto Pizza -Heat pizza stone in a 500 degree oven for 20 to 30 min -I made my favoritepizza dough -I did not make the pesto myself. I used Cucina & Amore Pesto ( I got mine at Harmons) -Then I sprinkled a little bit of mozzarella cheese and feta ( I really like the stuff made with goats milk, sheep's milk is good too) on top. -Next I added some chopped spinach slices of tomato and chanterelle mushrooms. -I sprinkled more mozzarella cheese on top of that and a little parmesan cheese. -Change your temperature to 350 degrees and then onto the fabulous pizza stone (seriously it has totally changed how my crusts taste. I highly recommend one if you make homemade pizza) (or just heat your oven to 350 and use a pan what ever works it will still tast good) cook for about 15 min, or until the crust is brown and the cheese has a nice golden melty crust on it. -I like to add some garlic butter to the crust after I take out the pizza. I made this butter a little bit more salty than usual which was perfect. -I let it cool for a about 10 min. before cutting and eating. I seriously loved this pizza and Justin really liked it to! It is a keeper

Hold the Baby!

Soy Milk

So the other day Felix pulled Justin's soy milk out of the refrigerator opened it and started drinking it. Firstly I was mad that he was getting into the fridge and secondly I was mad that he was going to spit the milk out all over the floor and throw the carton when he found he didn't like it. But I was wrong. Not only did he drink the rest of the carton, he now asks for it on a regular basis. Who knew he would like soy milk?
