What I Love About You...7 Weeks

Well, I am quite a bit late this week, but here it is. I hope you guys are enjoying this. I am enjoying looking back at them already. I know I must say this every week, but I can't believe Caroline is 7 weeks old!

I Love:

-that I got to take a nap with you the other day and just lay there and watch you sleep. You are so sweet!

-how you sleep on your Daddy! I love seeing you with your Daddy!

-how long you are! Your Daddy stood you up like this the other day and I was just AMAZED at how tall you are!

-the many ways you sleep. I know I've said it before, but you are just such a good baby! You will sleep anywhere!

-how you put your little finger in the hole of your paci while you hold it. You are just so sweet!

-your "frog legs". Your legs often look like this when you sleep on your tummy.

-how cute you look sleeping in your crib and how well you sleep in your crib. You love it!

-how you let your Daddy put you in so many positions. It seems the weirder the position, the happier you are!

-how you are just such an incredibly happy baby! You are our joy and we are so glad the Lord blessed us with you!

-how you LOVE your car seat! You sleep in it so well and really enjoy your car rides! We are SO thankful!

-the view of your little head from the driver's seat as I turn around to check on you. You are so cute!!!

I'm so cute when I sleep!

What I Love About You...6 Weeks

Here is Caroline at SIX weeks. I really cannot believe it's been that long! She is such an amazing blessing to us! Thank you, Lord!!!

I Love:

-how you look like a little lobster in your swaddle.

-how you love your swaddle! You sleep well in it!

-how you have started to enjoy your "baths" (you still haven't lost your cord) much more. You don't scream nearly as much as you used to!

Mrs. Tammy, I LOVE my towel! I use it all the time!!!

-how you look so cute in your sleep positioner! This is how I found you this morning. You had slid yourself way down! It wasn't bothering you any either. I had to wake you up to go sign on our house!

-how you play with your Daddy. Although, this picture might freak a few people out. ;) (He's careful, I promise!)

-to watch you with your Daddy. He is such a great Daddy and takes really good care of you! I am so thankful for him!!! (I LOVE this picture!!!)

-your little fat-fat that you have now. You were so skinny when you were born and still are, but you are starting to show a little baby fat now. So cute!

-how you love to just hang out on your changing pad. You just stare at your pretty pink walls and are so happy!

I actually have more pictures, but the memory cards they are on are acting up. I hope to get the pics off soon and I will share ASAP!

Buffalo Chicken Pasta

Several people have requested this recipe and this was the easiest way I could think to get it to them. I hope you all enjoy it. We certainly do!


Buffalo Chicken Pasta
· 1 lb. favorite spaghetti-like pasta, fully cooked and drained
· 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
· salt & pepper, to taste
· 2 c. chicken stock
· 8 oz. cream cheese
· 1/8 c. hot sauce (more or less, depending on desired intensity. 1/8 c. will be mild in flavor.)
· 1 c. Ranch or Bleu cheese dressing

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a skillet with chicken stock, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken and reserve 1/2 c. cooking liquid.
2. In a saucepan, combine the cream cheese, hot sauce and reserved cooking liquid. Cook over medium-low heat until the cream cheese is completely melted. While the sauce is cooking, shred or cube the cooked chicken.
3. Add the dressing and chicken to the saucepan, stir to combine, and then toss with the cooked pasta.
