11 Months of Michael

My friend, Brandi, had a great idea for a blog post - she posted one picture of her son from every month this year. It is great because as a mom, you don't see the changes in your kids, physically - you see them everyday! This is a great way to document that change, all in one place.

Michael is a bit older, so I don't see as drastic a change in him - but I'm going to do it anyways because I love the idea. Michael's personality has changed a lot in the last year - it is a joy to see who he is becoming - we can't help but love the kind boy he is.

Well, not everyday, but we all aren't at OUR best everyday are we?

SO here we go. 11 months because for some reason, in April - we only took pictures of the snake in our yard.

Last night, Michael ate ALL his food on his plate and asked for seconds.

JAW-DROP

Those of you who know Michael, know this is unheard of. My Picky Eater Extraordinaire. Who only feasts on gourmet food, my mom's cooking, and mac 'n cheese/ramen noodles/hotdogs/frozen peas.

Then, he turned to me, and said,
"Excuse me Mommy, thank you for my delicious dinner. It was so good. I ate it all up."

And gave me a very big hug.

Then asked for dessert.

Somewhere in there, I hit "REC" in my mind's eye.

And if you are wondering what I made, this is it:

It's not for the faint of heart. But it's amazing. I don't ever buy that storebought chicken anymore.

Side dishes: Sweet potatoes with cinnamon/brown sugar/nutmeg, steamed broccoli

If this isn't worth blogging about, I don't know what is.

Oh yes, up next - answers to the questions from my tartiflette post.
