Baby Crumpet @ 1.25

Mia hit 15 months yesterday, or is that one year and 3 months? These year/months thing confuse me. When can we use whole years like real people?

She is doing - amazingly great. She is healthy, eats like dad (loves dumplings & pasta), drinks latte like mom and loves animals (bigger the better)

With the weather getting better we're spending more time on our deck and going out to parks & playgrounds. We're trying to find time to take her to the Zoo.

Latest word: Whoa.

Food

Been reading up on the benefits of grass-fed beef. Turns out it's hard to find. Got two local farmers and one in Oregon that supplies Whole Food.

Made baked halibut with blue cheese - yummy. Slather halibut with the blue cheese dressing (made with crumbled blue cheese, milk, mayo & diced garlic) then topped with a little salt, black pepper & shallots. Baked at 350 degrees until done, then finish in broil for a few minutes to brow the shallots on top.

Heading to Bologna, Italy next week for a business conference. First time to the food capital of the world. I'm drooling already....

Baby Crumpet Walking

Video: Baby Crumpet doing her Frankenstein impression

Mia started walking about 3 weeks ago. She is doing very well, although she walks with her arms sticking out, like a zombie.

The cats, are terrified.
