I'm cool and I know it! His onsie says, "You're looking at a rock star". As soon as we put this little hat on him he acted like he was too cool for us!Dan and I had the pleasure of going over to our friend's, the Pilkingtons (our old neighbors) for dinner the other night. I decided that I would give cupcake bites another go round! Needless to say, this time they went much better... meaning that I am not only willing to post a picture of one of them, but that I was willing to give them away :D I think that these little guys are absolutly yummy, but they are a REALLY DENSE little snack, meaning, the calories really are packed into these bad boys (that and they are HEAVY)!

A Sunbeam, a Sunbeam.....

I had decided before having Nate that I would try to make all of his baby food, but when the time came to start feeding him baby food... I forewent this mainly because I did not have the equipment to puree his food! However, I am pleased to announce that for probably about a week now I have been making all of Nate's food! Dan and I bought a Sunbeam food processor that had good reviews (other than the o-ring giving out fairly quickly... but that can be bought at any auto shop) for making baby food! As soon as I had my processor I was pureeing away! So far I have made Nate green beans, peas, corn, butternut squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, plums, nectarines, pears, and I think one or two other things! After pureeing the newest batch of food, I pour the food into ice cube trays and stick them in the freezer until frozen. Then I just pop the like food blocks out, stick them in a freezer bag, label them and back into the freezer they go. His food last 3 months in the freezer! I love being able to just pop out a couple of cubes from the freezer (one cube = a little over an ounce), zap them in the microwave and feed my little guy some yummy food! It is nice to know what is in his food and knowing that it is food that I would eat myself (with some salt)!!!
