Baby is Walking

It's official! We have a walker on our hands. Go Jamisen! It literally just happened - one day, he was barely balancing and teetering by balancing himself on random pieces of furniture and the next, he literally took off at a fast walk and went from the kitchen to the living room in a flash. Behold, 17 seconds of Jamisen's apparent genius showing through:




With this newfound walking ability came a desire to also walk up and down stairs (with major assistance from Mom and Dad). We have decided a baby gate on the top of the stairs to our home is a necessity. That kid is out the house door and trying to make a run for it onto the street faster than you can say 'Boo!'

 

I cooked up a storm this weekend - Banana Quinoa Spelt Pancakes for breakfast and Farro Green Pea and Onion for lunch (with a little Parmesan, Coconut Oil and Butter). I cooked the Farro in Chicken Broth to help warm up the ancient grain.  

Jamisen loved it - especially the Spelt Pancakes. We took off on a hike the second Jamisen finished breakfast. Jamisen played on the beach, climbed the rocks and generally was delighted to explore his surroundings. He got a little sandy, so sandy that I found tons of sand in his diaper before his nap. Lucky boy got two baths today. Happy, busy weekend!
