Three Months

Wow, I can't believe that is has been three months already! It doesn't seem that long ago that I was just wishing you would come out, or when I was finally holding you in my arms, so grateful that you were here. Wow, I'm getting teary just thinking about the time that has gone by already.
It's been an eventful few months, we have moved to Cranbrook, had you in emergency once, celebrated two siblings birthdays, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Canada Day and we are getting ready to take you to your first family reunion where you will be passed around and cooed over to your heart's content!
Here are some stats about you at three months old:
1. You smile all the time, especially for Mommy, Daddy and David
2. You sit up pretty good in an exersaucer
3.You are a belly sleeper, and absolutely REFUSE to sleep any other way (no judging ladies!)
4. You already own three pairs of shoes and one pair of boots (crocheted by a friend and so cute!) that fit you, not to mention the several pairs that don't!
5. You are just starting to outgrow your newborn clothes, but most three month stuff is still too big!
6. You weigh 14 pounds,  although it doesn't seem like you weigh that much when I hold you.
7. You are still quite skinny, just like all Yanoses - clearly Mommy was married into the family, not a true Yanos!
8. I have told Grandma that you are my "orange baby". Whenever I'm buying clothes or paint for you, I am drawn to orange and brown
9. You HATE your carseat. I've never had this issue with any of my other kids, but as soon as I put you into your carseat, you start to scream, and the moving of the vehicle doesn't soothe you. Funny that we've still done so much driving with you!
10. You can't sleep without a soother, but generally when you're not tired, you're not too interested in it
11. You pretty much eat every three hours still, although you do have some stretches of five hours, but they are generally during the day, not at night
12. You are an excellent nurser, you eat quickly and get mad when I change sides - like really mad, screaming mad. But when you are finished, I pop a soother in your mouth and you go right back to sleep with out a complaint

So there you have it, 12 things for 12 weeks. We love you so much and I already can't imagine my life without you. Your personality is starting to show and I love it! I'm loving every minute of your life, you are so special to me.
Love, Mommy
March 31, 2011, the day you were born

It's about time I finally got you another meal-in-a-jar. This is a recipe I got from my cousin while we were visiting her for a family reunion. Between the two of us, we have six kids and all six of them ate this and asked for more! That's a huge hit in my book, so I definitely needed the recipe. I made 6 jars so that I have lots for my pantry because I know my kids are going to want to eat this over and over. The one adjustment I made was not adding green chilies, and that's only because I didn't have any, not because I don't want them. Once I have some in stock, I will definitely add them to the jars.  As always, this recipe uses ingredients that are on sale from Thrive Life Foods this month. The instant rice is one of the items on sale, but I didn't have any on hand, so I just grabbed some from my local grocery store, use whichever is convenient for you.  I also don't have packages of taco seasoning, which is what the recipe calls for, I use it oft

Beef Stew Meal-In-A-Jar

Image
My meal in a jar recipe for February is a traditional beef stew, like my mom always made when we were growing up. There are a few adjustments that you can make depending on how you are going to eat prepare and eat this meal, but however you do it, it's going to be classic and delicious!   We are currently in a nasty cold streak with daily highs around -20 Celsius and wind chills that often take our lows to -40 Celsius. In the midst of this cold snap, we had a hockey tournament. Just when you want to curl up with a good book all weekend, we are going back and for from home to rink, without much break between. Between games, I decided to make this recipe and throw it in the crock pot so that it would be ready when we came home and were in need of something to warm our bones. When I put it in the crock pot, I made a few adjustments that I'll explain. For a quick boil and serve meal, follow the instructions in the graphic. If you want adjustments for the crockpot, keep readin

Forgiveness

Image
Just a random picture that I like (no it's not my husband that I'm talking about!) Okay, so I'm not one to get easily offended. Mostly I just let things slide (It's taken some work to get to this point). But when I do get offended, it really cuts deep and I have a hard time letting it go. There are only a few things that can bother me, and even then, it's really only comments from the people I care about that affect me. ('Cause let's be real, if I don't know the person, then they don't really know me and there opinion is basically meaningless). But sometimes I find someone really does strike that cord and it's hard for me to let go. I really want to get past this and find a way to not be so hurt by things. Recently I have had a person in my life say a few things (a few different things over time) that have really hurt me and I'm trying not to hold a grudge, but everytime I find myself feeling better about things and wanting to be around th
