In the light of the morning, a little boy lay in a crib. That Friday morning the warm sun came up and -surprise- out of the crib comes a very hungry little boy. He started looking for some food.
First he ate some milk, but he was still hungry.
Then he ate through a handful of cheerios, but he was still hungry.
And then he ate through half a piece of bread, but he was still hungry.
So then he ate one cube of pears,
one cube of peaches,
and one bowl of oatmeal cereal.
Then he was thirsty! So he drank some apple juice. After that he felt much better.
Now he wasn't hungry anymore- and he wasn't little anymore. So he sat and played with some toys and then hopped into his crib for a nap. He stayed there for over an hour. Then he talked his way out and....
he was a handsome 8.5 month old little boy!
I can't believe how much this little guy eats!
Here's Gavin in the cute outfit Oma sent. Thanks Oma!
I can't resist posting a couple bath tub pics. Why is it so fun to take pics of naked babies?! Gavin loves being able to sit up in the tub and bat at the toys as they float by. And... suck on the the wash cloth.
This next shirt is an old onesie that was too short but plenty wide, so I cut off the bottom and turned it into a shirt. Then I found a cool tutorial online on how to make your own "screen printing" for shirts using freezer paper and fabric paint. I wanted to try it out so this is my first go at it. I think it turned out really cute! What do you think? (ignore all the guck/drool all over it)
Crystal this is the skirt I made.
McKenna here's the recipe for the pie crust:
No Fail Pie Crust
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 T lemon juice
1 cup shortening (I said it was easy, not healthy!:)
1 egg, beaten
3 T cold water
Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until it pea size. Beat together in a seperate bowl, egg, water, and lemon juice. Pour over flour mixture and stir until well blended. Use flour generously to roll out. Makes 2-9" crusts. The crust will turn out flaky even with lots of handling. (I know this from experience!!)

Such a cute story!! And even cuter boy!! He's getting big so fast!! Funny how often we are warned about how quickly they grow up, and yet we're still shocked at how fast it happens. :) Thanks for the recipe! I can't wait to make my very first ever pie crust from scratch!!
That's good that Gavin likes to eat. It's much less stressful than when they don't! He is getting so big- is he going through a growth spirt? I love naked baby pictures too! And bath is soo fun! Glad your having a good summer- I can't believe its almost over! Keep sharing your recipes and ideas- I love getting new stuff!
He's definitely a boy! Just wait til he is eating like that at full serving level instead of by the handful!! :) He is getting so big!
Wow! He is super cute, Linda...and an awesome eater! I could never get Natalie to eat much. She STILL doesn't eat much, but once in a while she goes a little nuts-o and eats like mad... and she is a string bean. I finally decided that she'll eat when she's hungry,so I shouldn't stress. Anyway, cute pictures!!
