Five Months

I cannot, for the life of me, believe that my baby is five months old. He is trying his best to crawl, just yesterday he figured out how to push up into a sitting position (and stay that way), his sweet little personality is really start to develop and he has gotten very good with a few basic signs (as well as screaming if you don't notice what he wants right away).

Yesterday, D and I decided to take C out and take his 5 month pictures while J was at a Boy Scout thing.

C was having a lot of fun playing in the basket with the apples and the flowers, I am in some serious trouble when this kid gets more mobile! 

Here are some of the pictures we came up with. I love how inquisitive my boy is.

 

 And of course, EVERYTHING has to go in the mouth.  . .

 

He was watching his big brother running through the river bottom

He can't wait to run with him

I Should Be Folding Laundry

It's Going To Be A Long Two Weeks. . .

Sam left this morning for a two week work (fishing) trip to Alaska. It was a pretty gloomy morning in our house this morning, not even C was handing out smiles. I made the kids a big batch of hazelnut, maple pancakes for breakfast and some taco's for lunch, I am hoping this perks their moods today!
While on the way home I saw the sign saying that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks, this brought on a feeling of disappointment since that is my favorite drink, and this is the first year I cannot have one due to EBF C who is HIGHLY allergic to cane sugar and dairy. So I took things into my own hands, making a perfect pumpkin spice latte at home, that is much healthier than Starbucks and tastes amazingly similar!

 Ingredients

• espresso or coffee
• non-dairy milk (I use unsweetened rice, lighter taste)
• 1 tsp organic pumpkin puree
• 1/2 tsp hazelnut agave
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

 Directions

Fill your mug half with hot coffee and half with hot milk, slowly stir in pumpkin puree. When pumpkin is dissolved add agave, nutmeg and cinnamon.


I hope this makes your morning as wonderful as it did mine! I can only hope that my hubby stays this nice, warm and cozy while he is up there in Alaska *working*. Hehehe
