a post about eating


sawyer and i

got rob a grill
for father's day.
so he has been
grilling us a lot
of dinners lately.
it's pretty great,
especially for me.
he made us
beer-can chicken
with corn on the cob
and asparagus.
and it
was
amazing.
seriously.
you should come over
and let him make
it for you, too.

sawyer has started
eating rice cereal.
i can't believe
he's big enough
for that,
but the first time
we tried it,
he pretty much
grabbed the spoon
out of my hand,
and started feeding
himself.
and he had a fit
when it was over.
he loves it.

i made lettuce wraps
and they were so so good
and so easy,
i wanted to share them with you.

8 ounces of minced chicken mix

It's a good thing I just finished supper before I read this post or I'd be pigging out. What yummy sounding fod Rob is making on the grill. thanks for the recipe -- I will give it a try.

Love the photo's of Sawyer with rice cereal on his mouth -- so cute. Glad he's apparently not going to be a picky eater. YAY!!!

Oo... that food looks good.

And that Sawyer, I think he could win a 'cutest baby contest' hands down.
