More Adventures ~ Picture Heavy

We decided to head down to our Nation's Capital on this fine afternoon to show Weston more of what there is to see around us.

Sitting in the BOB like a big boy for the first time.

We headed straight for the Botanical Gardens which made for some nice photo opportunities.

 Next, we headed over to the Capital for some more pictures and to let Weston look at the people and pigeons!

 Check out those eyes.

I don't particularly like how chubby I look here but it's a pretty cool picture otherwise.

I am embarrassed to admit our dinner tonight but here goes...

Dinner:

Tony's Frozen Pizza

Salad

Dessert:

Leftover Cheesecake

In my defense, we got home really late tonight and just didn't have time.  Also, to make it a little better, the pizza only cost us $0.17 each!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

I have been going a little crazy with entering Weston into contests lately.  I look at the pageant moms (like the ones on Toddlers and Tiaras) like they are crazy but I am beginning to realize I'm not much different.  I do not force my child to perform for people but we do "photo shoots" almost daily.  I then submit said photos to multiple contests and probably annoy the heck out of my Facebook friends and family.

Please stop me if I start talking about pageants though.

I will be posting the various contest that I have entered him in, in the hopes that some of you feel compelled to vote for him. ;)

There is one contest in particular that I am really hoping to win but I doubt that would happen.  Whole Foods is giving away a DSLR!!! I want one soooo bad.  This one is more difficult though because they choose 16 finalists and THEN it is opened up to a public vote.

Ok, I'm done with the shameless plug...for now.

Weston got some new shades today!

Happy Friday!

Dinner:
Smothered Pork
Creamy Cauliflower Mac (delicious!)
Side Salad

The Mac deserves a picture ~ 

Dessert:
Cheesecake leftover from last night.

Going Bananas!

Weston had a banana for the first time today.  It was more playing than eating but that is just fine with me.  We did it more for a picture and to get him used to the idea of food rather than to eat it.

The faces he made were incredible.  I couldn't get as many pictures because it was just me but I got a couple.

He mostly licked the banana but made a funny face every time.  He did get a teeny, tiny piece and ended up gagging on it.  That really freaked me out but he was as happy as could be.

Dinner:
Sicilian Rice Ball Casserole (delicious!)

Dessert:
Cheesecake

Tummy Time!

We had our Tummy Time group today.  I love this one because it is so relaxing.  We just sit around and let the babies do what they want.

Weston rarely falls asleep while in noisy situations now because he is too nosy but he must have been really tired because he fell asleep, literally, in the middle of about 7 other babies that were crying, screeching, etc.  It was pretty cute.

After tummy time, we headed to the grocery store for a few things and then went home so we could walk to Burlington Coat Factory.

We had a busy day today so dinner was quick and easy.

BOCA Veggie Burgers
Roasted Asparagus
Betty Crocker Potatoes

Not the healthiest but it worked for tonight. Plus I made up for it because I really didn't eat today.

Dinner

I am going to start keeping track of what I make for dinner each night by listing them here (along with the recipe). This way, I can see where we need to make changes, what we are doing right, and also keep track of dinners we like and want to try again!

Dinner:
Lentil Quiche (minus the tomatoes)
Slice of Whole Grain Bread
Baby Carrots and Sabra Hummus 

Dessert:
Oreo Pie
