Paxton had his first "play date". You may be wondering with who. 3 friends actually: a zebra, an alligator and an elephant. We have put him in his bouncy chair with his animal friends before and he has never noticed their presence before today. Something clicked inside his little brain today and low and behold he found his animal friends. He even played with them, which consisted of a bunch of punching and swatting of them. We hope we are not teaching him inappropriate social skills. If you are interested you can check out his play date below. (Warning: This may only be interesting for family, particularly grandparents.)
The second milestone to celebrate is the baking of our first French Onion Soup dish. Over the holidays we watched the movie Julie and Julia, the story of Julia Child and a woman who made all her dishes. This inspired Aimee to rent a compilation video of her cooking shows from the library, which in turn inspired Preston to actually make one of her recipes. So Preston spent the morning with The French Chef, via our lap top, following her instructions of how to make French Onion Soup. The end result: divine delight! Below are some pics highlighting his French adventure.
The smell of onions permeated our entire upstairs by 11am.
Preston's quirky inspiration, Julia Child. This is a picture of Julia's cooking show on our lap top as is was playing in our kitchen this morning.
This was the end result; cheesy, bread filled, heavenly French Onion Soup. It really was delicious and we have enough of the broth left over to make a whole other meal.
