Baby Wars

Elizabeth: Caitlyn, how many times do I have to tell you I'm the boss?
Caitlyn: Apparently a lot because I'm not listening.

Elizabeth: Hey, I'm talking to you (or trying to see what happens when I put my finger in your eyeball).
Caitlyn: I can't hear you...la, la, la and you can't touch me.

Elizabeth: Don't you see I'm in a position of authority (doesn't the thumb sucking give it away)?
Caitlyn: Elizabeth, just give me a fist bump and call it day, alright?

Ain't life grand? Two generations of train buddies.

Sunday Night Football Dinner: Week 3

Arizona = Mexican food. This is our attempt at Mexican food...fajitas. We wanted to have some rattlesnake or cactus, but Safeway was out when we went shopping. BJ cooked the gang up some chicken and beef fajitas. I made some guacamole to hold us over.

Steak/chicken, rice, tomatoes, cheese, peppers, onions, sour cream, taco sauce - oh my.

We found these people on the mean streets of Germantown and felt bad for them so we invited them in for dinner. Correy, Matt and Caitlyn (yes, I still have the touch - C is sleeping in my arms) and our neighbors, Liz (and twin boys still inside), and Jamie.

Sunday Night Football Dinner: Week 2

Sorry all of you devoted blog readers (mom) - we'll try not to keep you in suspense about the Sunday dinner choices. In honor of the game in Dallas, BJ made some delicious meat-filled chili. Texas style chili does not have beans...or really anything else except ground beef and lots of spices. Although Elizabeth didn't enjoy the meal with us (a 7pm bedtime cuts down on the date nights), she did help up prepare dinner.

Humm...what are the ingredients. I'll have more cayenne pepper, please.

These are a few of my favorite things...

I am very ticklish...especially under my arms and neck. Sometimes my feet, too!

I'm doing a lot of unassisted standing right now. A "step" here and there, but no real walking yet. Any day, though.

I like putting rings of any kind on my arms - the stacking rings, the rings to hang toys. I'm going to love wearing bracelets.

Sunday Night Football Dinner: Week 1

BJ had an idea to bring a little excitement into our menu. Each week, we are going to make a Sunday dinner according to the Sunday night football game home team. For week 1 (much to my dismay), we had brats, sauerkraut and German potato salad (no mayo and served warm/room temperature) for the Green Bay Packers. We all know that the real brat capital of the U.S. is in Ohio, so we should have the brats for Cleveland or Cincy.
