drawing a blank

i've got blogging writer's block... let's do a list!

- our sweet pea is 5 months old today!! i can't even believe it's been that long already. she's doing great. she's learned to buzz her lips and it is probably the most precious thing. she does it when she's happy and sad. i find it hard not to giggle a little when she's fussing and buzzing her lips at the same time. she's still incredible picky and sensitive to everything, but she's also so funny and very determined. she is trying really hard to sit up and is enjoying tummy time more. she's back to napping in her swing after she had a little tummy bug this weekend. she felt so icky and the only place she was happy was in her swing, so guess we'll have to do some reteaching about where we take naps. i'm not worried though - just glad she's feeling better. poor pitiful baby. i hate seeing her uncomfy.

- we tried a new recipe last night and it was amazing! i've looked for the recipe online, but can't seem to find it. but i found it originally in a cooking light magazine. it was SOOOOO easy and healthy and yummy. it's simply - toss a pork roast in your crockpot; slice up 2 large yellow bell peppers, 1 med onion, 1 can diced tomatoes in juice, 1 TBS canned jalapenos; garlic, cinnamon and cumin. toss all that in the crockpot. cook all day, shred pork, serve over white rice... amazing! the cinnamon and cumin combo was a new one for me and it was great. i thought it was a little spicy, but then again i think mild salsa is spicy... i just put a dollop of low fat sour cream on top.

- watch portlandia - do it - it's crazy and funny and really pokes some fun at people from portland. i feel like i can giggle at that though since we've got fam out there. it was originally on the IFC channel, which we don't have. we did find it On Demand though for free... oh dear. warning - it has some adult content if you're trying to stay away from that sort of stuff.

- i really, REALLY want to make a chocolate raspberry cheesecake but everyone i know is eating healthy these days. i just want to make it and eat a tiny bit and share with others... will anyone help me with this?? it's amazing and yummy and i've been itching to bake one for weeks now.

- nuggie and i have a dear friend i used to work with coming by so our babies can meet each other for the first time. her little man is 2 months old - can't wait to see him! i better run, they'll be here soon.
