Homemade noodles

I got a noodle making attachment to my kitchen aide for Christmas and last Sunday Colleen and Joe came over so Colleen and I could make noodles. We had a noodle off and each made our own set. I used my machine and Colleen rolled hers out by hand. We made a super quick, lovely sauce with a fresh tomato and basil base with parmesan cheese. It was a great afternoon with a delicious result!












My homemade noodles, cooked.
Sauce before basil.
Yum

Chipotle kid

Simon had his swimming lesson today at goldfish and when we got in the car to drive home he asked so sweetly if we could have chipotle for lunch. So obviously I said yes!! He had a great morning. And Lilly slept in her carrier. Ha :)

Yesterday was a big day!

Yesterday was a super busy day! Simon went on a cow ride, was an engineer, made orangesicles with Stacey (and added blueberries!), took a 2.25 hour nap and then went out on a special Mama/Daddy/Simon date while Lillian stayed home with Auntie Colleen. I'm tired just thinking about it!

Lillian is 3 months old!

Little Lillian is 3 months old! She loves snuggles and loves watching her brother play. She is awake a lot as she unfortunately does not have a good sleep schedule yet, but we're trying to establish a rhythm that has her sleeping most of the night since we know that she can sleep 6+ hours without eating. She smiles an open mouthed baby smile pretty regularly and is about to laugh any day. She coo's and makes a ton of talking noises and will even match pitch with you if you sing a solid note. She loves to stand (with balancing help), enjoys sitting on the bumbo and hasn't shown any interest in trying to roll. She is not a fan of tummy time, but loves sitting up and will play on her back for long stretches happily (15+ minutes).  She will wring her hands, sometimes with each hand holding the other, but doesn't look at them yet.  She is still eating 100% breast milk and takes bottles like a champ during the day while I'm at work.
