Recipes

Blueberry Bran Muffins

2 cups yogurt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup canola oil
2 cups bran
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup unbleached flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup blueberries

Measure yogurt and baking soda into a bowl and mix, set aside. In a large bowl beat sugar, oil and eggs. Add bran and mix. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt then slowly add to the bran mixture alternating with yogurt. Fold in blueberries. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes turning once.

Peanut Butter Cookies 

1 cup Peanut Butter

1 egg

1 cup sugar

Mix and place 1 inch balls of dough onto a cookie sheet.  Use a fork to flatten with a hatch pattern, then bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes (just a bit of browning at the edges).  Let cool, as they will fall apart when warm.

Hello Summer

Miles was cleared to join me on runs, so I found a used jogging stroller with a car seat attachment on craigslist. His car seat fits nicely on top, so his head doesn't bounce around while I run. We ran 3 miles yesterday morning, and he loved it! Tomorrow, we'll join my running group in Renton for a Sunday morning run. Can't wait for all my running friends to meet Miles!

(The stroller and car seat don't exactly match...I guess I'll just have to run really fast so nobody notices.)

The pool opened at our complex today. It's a perfect day for swimming, so we had to do it. Miles stayed nice and warm in the heated outdoor pool. He had fun swimming, even if the sun was really bright. Good thing he has a cute swimming hat. Pictures of him swimming with daddy:

9 weeks

Miles had his 2 month appointment on Wednesday. He has grown so much!

2 month stats:

13 lbs 1 oz

23 1/4 inches

Miles is now over the 70th percentile for all of his measurements. Weight-for-length percentile is over 90th! I love my chubby baby boy. 

Here is a picture of him passed out in the car seat after his shots:

 

 Poor little guy had a rough day, so he spent a lot of time in the Moby with his mommy to feel better.

More pictures!

Miles is 2 months today! He goes to the doctor for his 2 month well-baby appointment on Wednesday and we will find out how much he has grown. He also gets his first round of immunizations.
