Abbott is 5 months old!

 

 

This little man is 5 months old today! He's getting so big and is such a good little baby, I couldn't ask for much more. He's pretty content playing by himself unless he's tired or hungry, or just wants some cuddle time! The other day, I mowed the lawn and he sat in the bumbo seat outside the whole time just looking around.....while Elsie followed me around screaming. It was fun.

But he is just growing so much. He still loves playing in his jumper and playing with Ellsworth. He also loves taking baths...even when he's crabby! And as always, watching Elsie could probably entertain him for hours.

He started blowing spit bubbles and trying to make other noises....it's pretty cute!

Mmmmmm!

Yeah....I'm pretty cute!

 

And of course, Elsie had to get ready so I could take her picture! She looks pretty awesome in this outfit though. She needed to put the diaper on too, even though she only wears one at night.

 

I started giving Abbott oatmeal cereal at night to see if he will sleep better. I had intended to take some cute pictures of his first food, but they didn't turn out so great.....

 

I just love this little guy though!

 

Apple Cheddar Pizza

 

It feels like fall here....it's pretty awesome! So, I decided to make chili last night, and then decided to make a fall-ish side pizza. I had found a list of different kinds of pizza from Food Network magazine a while back, and apple cheddar with bacon pizza was on the list. I thought it sounded good, so we gave it a try!

I made my go-to thin crust dough, pressed it onto my old and gross pizza pan.

 

Then, added a little olive oil to the top.

 

Thinly sliced an apple. I'm not sure what kind they are....the little red ones. And got about 1/2 c. of sharp cheddar cheese out.

 

 

Then, I arranged the apple slices on the crust.

 

Added the cheese and it was ready to go into the oven!

 

While it was baking, I chopped up some fresh thyme (because I always have this on hand. Actually, I rarely use fresh herbs because they are expensive and I don't use them often enough, so I don't buy them.  But I decided to try some on here). I also fried some bacon earlier and crumbled that.

 

Pizza is all done baking

 

 Next, I drizzled a little maple syrup on top. ( I think this was too much...I would have liked it more with a little less)

 

 

Then, topped it with the thyme and bacon.

 Elsie INSISTED that I take a picture of her plate too. Then, she proceeded to not eat anything off of the plate. :/ It's hit or miss sometimes with her.





 

I have mixed feelings on this pizza. I really like the first piece right when it was fresh out of the oven, but then the next piece I wasn't so sure. Tom said it was ok. I had forewarned him that it was a side pizza, not just pizza for a meal. He decided he wants things either sweet or savory, and he just couldn't decide what this was. Elsie took one bite and said she didn't like it, but who knows with her.
