December

Good Morning! It seems like I always start with good intentions of updating every day but life seems to get in the way. LOL So what's happening in the world of the Imholtes? We are getting ready for Julianna's first Christmas!!! We have our house decorated more than we ever had which is a curse and a blessing. It's nice to get in the mood but a pain when every second I have to say "no...put that down...not in your mouth!" Guess next year I'll have to baby proof the decorations.

We also got a new couch yesterday! It's a wrap around which I love cause we are definitely comfy people. Julianna actually fell asleep on it last night without me having to rock her to sleep!!!

Today Julianna is 8 months old!

i cant believe that our baby girl is now 8 months old! She is a speed crawler and professional lifter. Looks like we may have a crawler on our hands by christmas.

This is a test blog from my phone. Hope it works!

Homemade Pizza

So I got the recipe from $5 dollar dinner mom on how to make Homemade pizza and thought I should take a shot at it.  I made dough for the first time and for some reason it wouldn't rise lol...I put the yeast in there and everything. I may need to let it sit for longer than I did.  Well the pizza did turn out nicely but I really need to invest in a roller pin if I'm going to continue.  It turned into more of a Chicago Deep Dish with the deepness being full of dough! I could tell it wasn't a hit by the way Nick chewed his piece. LOL Well better luck next time. On Tonight's Menu...Grilled Pork Chops

Ms. Bottle Holder!

Just a couple of days ago Julianna started holding her own bottle (tear, tear)...She's so funny cause she likes to eat a little bit then just sit there and then put the bottle back in her mouth all while giggling. 

My Big Girl

Julianna is now 5 months old and just look how big she is.  She really is becoming such a silly girl.  I wonder where she gets it from

My First post!!!

Today is my first post ever!!!  I've decided to start this blog after getting a book called the $5 dinner mom.  I want to post how my home cooking experience is going.  I'm trying to make sure we eat at home as much as possible so I will try to take a picture of our nightly meals and talk about how they went.  

ALSO...

I'm keeping this blog because a lot of my family is long distance and since we have a brand spanking new baby I want my family to be able to see all the cute things she does...

Well let see how this goes....
