4 Months!
Wow, can you believe Maiyo turned 4 months last Friday! Time is on super speed overdrive!
He's growing too! He grew out, length wise, of his 3 month old pajamas before he was actually 3 months old! He's been in the 6 month pj's, it's funny cuz they fit him loose around the belly but are just right on length. This boy has his daddy's metabolism:-) He still wears 3 month onesies though, so that's nice.
I made a booboo on the diaper front. Maiyo started spitting up quite a bit 2 weeks ago, which he rarely ever does, and I finally figured out it was his diapers, they were the wrong size! Poor thing, we didn't realize there were different size cloth diapers and we should have changed him over to the next size a month ago! Well, he's in the right size now and his tummy is much better...
Yesterday I thought he might be teething. He was super fussy Sunday night and all day yesterday, and periodically crying bloody murder, which he doesn't do unless he's really hungry or really wet. After trying my usual soothing techniques of rocking, cooing, feeding, etc. I finally gave him some frozen breast milk cubes to suck on which did the trick, Today is totally different, he's his usual happy, playful self. Hopefully it was just a bad day. He has his 4 month check up Friday so we'll see what the doc has to say.

Food Week 2-PB Cookies
A bit late but last week (2nd week of my new recipe a week project) I tried out a new recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies. I love cookies, they are my weakness, but I actually made these for Ana cuz he likes crunchy cookies which is just what these are...also ends up it's a gluten free recipe for those interested:-)
The recipe was super easy to make and very few ingredients but only made 11 cookies. If you want to double, be prepared to use a whole jar of peanut butter!

New Year's Resolution
Well I'm not really into resolutions but this one I got from a Facebook friend and thought it was a good idea...Cook 1 new recipe a week!
So for now the recipes will be for the grown ups, but once Maiyo starts eating solids in 2 months, I'll start posting kid friendly food.
To start I decided to do a simple recipe cuz I'm burnt out from all the holiday baking and cooking: Lemon Oregano Chicken served over polenta (1/2 recipe made with equal parts turkey stock & water) and steamed veggies.
I changed the Chicken Recipe as follows:
-I used chicken breast (1 big breast that I sliced into 2 pieces) & marinated in 2 tbls lemon juice, 1 tbls olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder & oregano for 20 mins.
-Heat 1/2 tbls butter in skillet on high and brown both sides of chicken then transfer to baking dish.
-Add 1/2 tbls butter, 1/4 c turkey broth and 2 tbls lemon juice back to skillet and reduced by half.
-Pour the sauce over chicken and bake for 20mins at 450.
This came out super yummy and more lemony which is what I wanted. Enjoy!
