#99 - 2 teeth, missing teeth and no braces

Baby O has two teeth (since 12/31/08)

nephews and nieces are losing teeth at an alarming rate

Pepe finally got his braces off and his teeth look amazing!
(and don't tell him i posted this, long story about why one tooth is darker (it involves a baseball bat))

#98 - Jumbo Rice Krispies

I work in television, so I should know better, yet I'm still a sucker for commercials with babies.

I just saw (on the Food Network of course) the Jumbo Rice Krispies commercial with a mom feeding them to her baby, now I want to go buy them for Baby O.

Congrats Kelloggs you just captured another mom's (albeit small) pocketbook.

Have you heard of these? I think they'd be fun to make rice krispy treats with them.

Shoot, now the Food Network is talking about Malt - O - Meal, I love Malt O Meal. Must go to bed.

#97 - Sharing Time

I'm probably the last one to figure this out, but I love being able to share stuff from different blogs that I read. I subscribe to 163 blogs (and counting and yes, I know that's a lot, or is it?) in Google Reader and whenever I want to share something I read, I just click "share". It then pops up on my shared items page for all to see.

There's a link from my blog, right over there in the top right of my blog, it's called, "What I'm Watchin".

I love looking at Kami's (from No Biggie) shared items. Do you have a shared page? If so, let me know, I'd love to follow it.

#96 - Friday Night Dance Party

Pepe and Baby O
(yes, Pepe is wearing sunglasses at night, we take this seriously folks)

Traditioooon, tradition! (as sung in The Fiddler on the Roof)

Friday Night Dance Party - 2/20/09 (sorry, meant to post on Friday)

Tonights Playlist

Dead and Gone - T.I. and Justin Timberlake

Crack A Bottle - Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent - love the piano in this song (not the words)

Viva La Vida - Coldplay - reminds me of when Baby O was first born, I'd dance around the house to this song with him, trying to calm him down
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
Live Your Life - T.I. and Rihanna -not sure why T.I. is on here twice, what does T.I. even stand for?

Encore (karaoke) - by Pepe (I was feeding Baby O) It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday - Boys II Men

#95 - Vita Baby

I just can't stand having to pay almost $1 for a little jar of baby food, so I decided to make my own with the Vita-Mix (if you don't have one of these, get one, because it is the best blender ever!)

I boiled two sweet potatoes, stuck them in the blender, added some water and magic. Enough baby food for 2 weeks.

Reminds me, 2 years ago, I loved watching these blender videos. Not the Vita-Mix, but pretty cool.

#94 - God's Opinion

Taken a few days ago, before work, Baby O and I went on a walk in the snow.

My new favorite quote:

"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."

I love my little Baby O, and the cute red hat grandma gave him. You know how I love fun hats.

#93 - Cake Mix Cookies

made these tonight.

1 package of cake mix (any flavor-i had a red velvet cake mix that expired 8/07)
2 eggs
1/3 cup of oil (i used olive oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla. Beat until well blended.

Drop by teaspoon about 1 inch apart onto cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until done.

i made a simple butter cream frosting and made these into sandwich cookies, but they are delicious by themselves (even with an expired cake mix.)

ps, don't worry, i wouldn't serve these expired cookies to anyone except Pepe, even though they taste really good.

Here's the finished product:

(actual cookie is smaller in real life)

#92 - Driving a Junker

I'm all about driving a car to it's last leg (or wheel), but c'mon.

#91 - Crazy Pregnancy Belly Pics

Tell me, if you've had a baby or are going to have one, did you take pictures of your naked belly?

I did, I just wanted to remember what it looked like. But I don't think you'll ever see them :)

ps, if you don't know who the person is pictured above, you must have been living on another planet for the past 3 weeks.
