Get Up, Stand Up!

Zoe has loved to stand since she was about 5 months old.


This week, at the age of 10 months, she figured out how to pull herself up. She & Silas both have been pulling to knees for awhile, but now that she can stand it's all she wants to do!

Here she is in her crib showing Mommy & Daddy her new skill, so proud!


She wanted to show off at her great-grandparents house on Friday,


She loves standing by the bathtub too.



Let's just hope she figures out how to get down on her own soon! As some of you know, little Miss Z can be full of drama at times. She cries and cries until someone comes and helps her down, and this is becoming a bit of a problem when it keeps happening during naptime!

I'm sure Silas will be not too far behind his sister with this new development. He is a big boy and has more weight to pull up :) Silas will be having an MRI of his brain and spinal cord on September 12th in order to check out possible reasons for the tightness he continues to have in his legs. He is still standing on his toes and not bearing a lot of weight, so it will probably take continued physical therapy and a little more time before he is standing comfortably. I'll let you all know what comes out of the MRI after we get the results in September...

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!

Go-To Crockpot Meals

A friend of mine recently purchased a crockpot and is looking for some good recipes. As usual, I am posting my favorites with links here! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork - this is best served with cole slaw on top or on the side. Our favorite is Mann's Rainbow Salad mix, to which we add sliced red onion and diced granny smith apple, dressed with a good store-bought cole slaw dressing. It really takes the pork to another level! Crockpot Refried Beans - I prefer to use black beans instead of pinto beans. You can do a lot with a pot of beans - one of my favorites is quesadillas or baked tostadas with caramelized red onion and cheese of choice. Chicken Verde - so simple, use a jar of Trader Joe's salsa verde and serve over rice. Spaghetti Squash Curry - a great side dish to use in place of rice. Chickpeas in Curried Coconut Broth - need I say more? The last one is delicious but I have no idea where I got the recipe - I don't have a direct link in Pepperplate, so I'm pas...
