Thank Magic Eraser!

The Magic Eraser is the absolute best cleaning product on the planet! Truly it is! if you've never tried it, you HAVE to. Pedro and I decided last summer that we liked the clean look of white appliances, but never having had white appliances before, we didn't realize how painful it would be to keep them looking clean. I LOVE my gas stove, but trying to keep the white top and gray grates clean has been a miserable process. Then someone suggested the Magic Eraser. I was skeptical at first, but it is amazing. It cleans up everything on the stove and I barely have to use any elbow grease. Thank you magic eraser! You rock!

And now, we interrupt this commercial with some pics of Sam. I know its the only reason people read this blog in the first place.

Laundry

Samson LOVES laundry. Everything was folded and neatly sorted into baskets. Within two minutes, everything was a tangled mess. But how can you be mad at that sweet face? It made me laugh.

Hungry Boy

My boys are big eaters. Especially my little boy. I Know I just did a post of pics of him eating, but I had to do another one. Its such a mess. This morning Sam had toast and then an entire container of pears mixed with quite a bit of oatmeal. Then some yogurt melts. For his mid-morning snack he had more oatmeal, cottage cheese and diced pears. He insisted on feeding himself. Doesn't that look delicious?
We're working hard at teaching him the sign for more, but right now, he points if he wants more of something.

P.S. Mom, if you're reading this, Sam ate the entire box of Zwieback toast, the crackers and the yogurt melts in a week.

Food Fight

Now that my little guy is starting to eat real food, he wants less of the baby variety. He loves his puffs, yogurt melts, diced fruits and veggies, zwieback toast, crackers, mashed potatoes, cheese, meat sticks and basically whatever Pedro and I are eating. Yesterday, he ate all my yogurt. I think I got one bite.
He has now decided that when he has to eat something requiring a spoon, he wants to feed himself. Haha, what a mess, I mean blast, that is. I put a little of whatever he is eating on the tray and he tries his very hardest to get it on the spoon and into his mouth. Usually while he does this I sit next to him with a spoon and a bowl and help the process along. Today he decided that he wanted to feed ME. Every time I gave him a spoonful, he would mash his spoon into the gunk on his tray and push it into my mouth. Mmmmmmmm, there is nothing quite as tasty as chicken and apple puree with a side of baby slobber, but it was sweet and since I went through 9 long hours of labor and a c-section, I think I'll keep him.

Wednesday Cuteness

I LOVE him! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE my son. That's all I can say. The pictures speak for themselves. I want to pinch his fat rolls and kiss his chunky cheeks. CONSTANTLY.

Happy Belated Easter

I have taken a TON of pictures in the last week, but I haven't had much time to blog. Solo & Ensemble us is coming up on Saturday and I am doubling up on lessons for a lot of my students so forgive me for the lack of posts. I hope everyone had a relaxing Easter.

STANDING!

That's my baby!!! He's STANDING!! He's been doing it for about a week now and each day he is able to stay up for progressively longer. Sometimes he tries to take steps! This is the first time we've gotten it on camera. And yes, those are MY Kermit the Frog PJ's. Now, excuse me while I go run circles around the house in excitement.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Flashback Friday. Here he is at 3 hours old.
