No cupcake, just baby!

Happy half birthday to you, happy half birthday to you, happy half birthday little bubba!

Yes, my nugget is 6 months old today and what a wonderful time we've had so far. Ezekiel has changed so much it's scary! I really do think babies should stay in the womb for another couple of months because those newborn days are rough. A smiling 6 month old is the cutest thing in the whole world! I'm not sure of his stats as his doctor appt isn't until Monday but I will let you all know then. Here is Zekie today...


Hmmm...who do you think he looks like? LOL

Have I said how much we love our Canon Rebel...?

Yep, he feeds himself!

Some food...

Hello all!

Well, it's been long enough since my last entry so here I am again. There are lots of new and exciting things going on these days and we seem to be busy all the time. Ezekiel will be 6 months on Wednesday and we can hardly believe it! Time has gone by so fast and I stop at least once a day to remind myself to really make the most of his baby time, next thing I know he'll be going to kindergarten.


I mean seriously, how can you not love this baby?!
On to some more pics of Ezekiel...here he is in his new duck "tub" with dad
and here he is eating a bread crust and some prunes (gotta love BLW!)
and here he is smiling at Saul's stumpy!


On to the cupcake...
A few weeks ago my sister, CJ took me to downtown San Diego to visit a bakery called "Heavenly Cupcake" the store itself is pretty modern and the cupcakes look great, albeit a little too cardboard-y. Anyway we decided to try: chocolate, dark chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, red velvet and their signature flavor orange chip.

The red velvet was soooooo good, the best of the 6. All the rest were....eh, mediocre. The vanilla actually made me gag, it tasted like a stick of butter!

Enough of non-sweet cupcakes (if that's even possible), here is a really really good cuppy-cake....german chocolate! I've discovered that german chocolate lovers are beyond loyal to this type of cake, they will always choose it before any other flavor!

This is it halfway done and then all the way with the chocolate ganache on top. So chocolatey, coconutty and delicious!

Get out there peeps and show me what cupcakes you've devoured lately!

Yums to everyone.

This is good...

Why hello there friends!

Ezekiel and I are feeling much better now and are looking forward to Saul coming back from WLC. He made the comendant's list and is an honor grad, yay for him! That gives him 20 more points towards his next promotion. We are hoping to come to a consensus if this life is still what we want, we may or may not be leaving the Army soon. We'll just be 3 vagabonds (and a dog), going from place to place until we find somewhere that feels right.

I also started giving Zeke some "solid" food on Monday, we started with avocado and he seems to mildly like it. I think he just enjoys sitting in his high chair at the table like a big boy. Saul can't wait to feed him, I already know it's gonna be a big mess! This nursing journey has been so interesting, we are no where ready to wean but starting food is just the next step in Ezekiel being a big boy.




On to the cupcake...I saw a recipe for a cheesecake cupcake but it looked so boring. It was just a yellow cake with cream cheese on top, not very appetizing. I made it delicious with a strawberry fruit topping and crumb finisher! Yum Yum...
