just growing like a weed they say



i swear this little guy has got to be changing clocks on the walls or something. i've never seen time move so fast. i'm already behind on his 7 month pic, but i pinky promise i'll have it posted before he's 8 months old and growing a mustache.

p.s. it's the last day to enter my 200 follower giveaway!

if i weren't chasing binkies...


sorry i don't have much time for words-it's been one of those days folks.
 i've been busy toting around a crying teething baby and chasing after missing binkies-i swear those things grow legs when i'm not looking!
i wonder how much time i lose per day searching for them...grrr.
oh well, we now have a happy napping baby.

sweet potato + black bean burritos

so i posted this...


...yesterday on instagram and i got some requests for the recipe.
i found it on pinterest-here's the link.
(by the way they were delicious)

{Roasted Veggie & Black Bean Burritos}

Ingredients:
2 whole sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed small
2 whole jalapenos, diced
1 whole red pepper, diced small
1 whole red onion, diced small
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (15 oz can)
½ cups fresh cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 package burrito-sized wheat tortillas or wraps (6-10 count)

Instructions:
mix raw veggies, olive oil and spices in a bowl. place into a large baking dish and roast for 20 minutes at 425 degrees. toss at about halfway through.

let cool then add your roasted veggies to a can of rinsed black beans, cilantro and lime juice.

warm your wraps/tortillas in the microwave. spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray.

add about two tablespoons of veggie & black bean mixture to the center of your tortilla and top with shredded cheese. fold and place in the casserole dish. continue rolling the others and make sure you place the seam side down in the dish.

bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown at 375 degrees. makes 6-8 burritos.

you've GOT to try them!

boogie king

so apparently my son likes to boogie.
and i'm pretty happy about that because we all know there's nothing more unattractive than a man who can't dance. well besides ugly teeth, bad breath and know-it-alls.
can you tell i'm a dental hygienist?
anywho, maybe there are a few things worse, but a man who can dance is always a plus.
you're welcome future daughter-in-law.
see you in oh, 50 years or so.
that is if i ever decide to let him date.

(please excuse the song-my son loves Miranda Lambert so i just put one on to see if i could catch him in the act. then i realized he has no balance without me holding him hence the 10 second video.)

(daddy tried a different song and gave him a little support this time. he usually gets more into it than even this. and i'm 100% confident that daddy frustrated him a bit at the end, ha :)

i'm fairly certain he's been professionally trained in both funk and freestyle.
he seems to be some sort of rhythmical genius.
belly dancing and contemporary are up next!
here's to many more dancing baby nights!

7 months (7/22/12)

7 months baby boy!

you are a wild little man-always on the move, kicking your legs, rolling all over the place and getting into EVERYTHING! you seem to be more interested in things like daddy's shoelaces, picture frames and cords rather than your toys. what a mess you are! i can hardly take my eyes off of you for a second. you roll so fast! everyone says once you learn to crawl or walk you will be GONE! you are definitely keeping me on my toes bubba.

i noticed on July 10th that you were getting your first tooth! i had been dreading the day that you would lose your gummy smile, but i think your little pearly white coming in is kinda cute. you have been doing great too-no fussing, drooling, nothing. what a good baby.

you are sitting up on your own nicely these days and we've been practicing standing with you too. we think you will be crawling any day now!

oh and you tried bananas today-your first fruit! i was so excited that you might actually like something besides milk, but you ended up wearing more ON your belly than we got IN it :)
hopefully you will start liking something soon.

you are so happy. one of our favorite things is hearing you laugh.
we are so blessed.

love you so much bubba,

momma
