Pancakes and French Fries

These are Liam's two new favorite foods, and sadly I can't say they are very nutritious. Yesterday our little family had a great eating day. Not only was the food an indulgence from morning to evening, but Liam actually ate a LOT of table food. This is a first for him. Prior to yesterday, he pretty much only ate cheerios, eggs and puffs. I really haven't been worried or stressed about it because I know that one day we aren't going to have a 14 year old son who doesn't eat. He will eat when he is ready, so we still continue with the baby food and just keep offering other foods. Turns out he was ready yesterday (and I don't blame him given the awesome meals we had).

First, our morning started out with blueberry pancakes made by Chef Daddy. We've made pancakes for him before, but for whatever reason, he was obsessed with them yesterday. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the maple syrup I dipped them in before giving them to him ;).

For lunch we wanted to get out of the house. Since it was too cold to enjoy being outside yesterday, we def did not want to be cooped up all afternoon, so off to chick-fil-a we went. It was fabulous. Liam loved watching all the kids and could not get enough of the french fries (who can!). He would literally kick his legs and his hands in the air when we would give him another fry. It turned out to not only be awesome food (per usual), but it was a lot of fun to watch Liam be thoroughly entertained. We don't usually go out to eat because Josh and I figure it's an easy way to save money. Ever since Liam was born we rarely go out, unless it is for a night out. HOWEVER, yesterday may change things....we both talked about how nice it was to relax and not have to clean up after Liam for a change. Thinking lunch outings may become a regular weekend thing!

Fast forward to dinner....some friends of ours had a bunch of people over yesterday evening for some pork butt that was slow cooked on the Big Green Egg all day. It was out of control good. On top of that there was homemade mac n' cheese (made by yours truly), homemade cole slaw, corn bread, and all kinds of delicious appetizers. Liam dove into the crackers and ate 2 whole ones (which again is big for him). He then proceeded to eat the heck out of some mac n' cheese!

Aside from the food, we had a great relaxing day followed by fun company in the evening. Looking forward to many more weekends like this to come!
