8 Months Old!

Hard to believe, isn't it!? She's crawling around all the time and standing whenever she has something she can use to pull herself up. Her hair's getting longer, but it's still not curly. We're hopeful though!

We might be getting more teeth...

She's back to chewing on EVERYthing, and drooling a whole lot. Nothing's coming through yet, but we think it's coming soon!

Happy New Year!

Yes, our window is that dirty. Keep in mind that it's Chico's post, and his nose is up against it most of the day. Anyway, Cady and Chico enjoyed looking out the window at the rain this afternoon.


Talking about the weather, I'm sure.

This was our lunch. We made a delicious ham yesterday, and couldn't wait to put it on a pizza. I used a packaged crust mix and added some garlic, parmesean, basil and rosemary to it. I always bake the crust for about 10 minutes with nothing on it because there's really nothing that tastes worse than soggy crust. Then I added some LaRosa's sauce (thanks Stephanie) from a pizza place in Cincinnati. I used just a little bit of cheese and then heaped on the ham and pineapple. Put it back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, took it out and topped it with crushed red peppers. I'm doing a 52-week photography challenge, so this is actually from that. You can go to my photography blog if you want to see the photos weekly.

We've spent the first weekend of the new year cleaning out our closets and cabinets. Dan just got back from the Goodwill, where he dropped off 3 huge boxes of clothes, shoes and miscellaneous stuff.

We're also cleaning out the kitchen. Get this, our goal for January is to buy NO groceries (except for produce). We have so many things to make, we just need to make them. We're both planning to do a whole lot more cooking this year and trying a bunch of recipes we've never tried before.
