Breakfast of Champions

Today's breakfast is a delicious one for our Baby Spoon! She gets to have some ordinary oatmeal spiced up with cinnamon and sweetened with chocolate chips. Mmmmmm, so gostoso! She's in the process of eating it all right now! If you ask me, breakfast could hardly be any tastier than this. : ) -Daddy Spoon.

No Longer a Teenager Anymore

Baby Spoon has turned 20 months old today! She isn't a teenager anymore, at least in terms of the months that we've been blessed to have her in our lives. Today, she is a big girl. Plus she's the most precious little gem alive. I doubt we could have dreamt for anything better.

At this stage in her life, she loves reading. Multiple books per day. She'll start her day and end it reading books! Able to count to 8, plus she understands the Portuguese that her Daddy is teaching her. A vocabulary that surpasses most 2-year olds, and she's extremely adept at communicating what she wants or needs. On top of that... she's the sweetest little toddler you'll meet. A wonderful little gem and we can't be happier about it!

Maybe sometime soon I'll accomplish posting the various videos I've recorded of her and you'll be able to see for yourself how precious she really has become! For now, all I have is this picture from us playing in the backyard the other day! -Daddy Spoon.

Mi Casa, Su Casa, Picasso

Today we're going to the Seattle Art Museum to view the Pablo Picasso exhibit before it goes down. This will be our Baby Spoon's first exposure to Cubism, 20th Century fine art and we're even topping things off by having dinner at a fabulous Mediterranean restaurant. Naturally, we're excited! More updates to come! -Daddy Spoon.

Cooking up a Storm

Today is an exciting morning, since Baby Spoon took her first shot at baking chocolate chip cookies. Everyone is excited to eat them. The worst part of all is happening right now.

We have to wait for the cookies to cool down.

As we do that, here are some pics from today's fun adventure! We hope you enjoy them. We'll certainly enjoy the cookies for you! -Daddy Spoon.

A New Year

Well, we have been busy this past week here at the Spoon family. To the point that we've completely forgotten to update the family blog. We apologize. To make amends, here are two quick screen shots of Punkins enjoying her breakfast! (It was oatmeal with raisins. She loved it)

See?? That is one happy face. We are going to do our best to update on a more regular basis. :D
We'll see you soon! -Daddy Spoon.
