Hair Cut and clay prints!
Amongst the other things going on this week (turning One, crawling on her knees and sitting up on her own), we just got Madyson's hair cut for the first time and had clay hand and foot prints done at Ceramicafe in La Mesa; So much fun!

Healthy Pepperoni Pizza!
Kevin made this pizza recipe from www.eatingwell.com. I would definitely recommend this for all those pizza lovers out there looking for something a bit healthier. :)
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
1 pound prepared whole-wheat pizza dough, (see Shopping Tip), thawed if frozen
1 cup canned unseasoned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces sliced turkey pepperoni (1/2 cup)
(We added green peppers)
Preparation
1.Place oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2.Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to the size of the baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
3.Whisk pumpkin puree, tomato sauce and garlic powder in a small bowl until combined.
4.Spread sauce evenly over the baked crust. Top with mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni. Bake until the crust is crispy on the edges and the cheeses have melted, about 12 minutes.
Tips & NotesMake Ahead Tip: Use leftover tomato sauce and pumpkin to make a second batch of pizza sauce. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
Shopping tip: Look for balls of whole-wheat pizza dough at your supermarket, fresh or frozen and without any hydrogenated oils.

Time is flyin'!
Madyson is now 10 months old and growing so fast! Not just in size but in everything she does. One minutes she is just crawling around on the floor and the next she is able to pull herself up on her new little chair that Grandma B got her. Her personality grows as well. It is a strong one and no doubt my child. If she is finished with something, wants something or is frustrated by something, she lets you know! :) She is very alert and aware of her surroundings and still seems more interested in learning to talk than to walk, which is fine with me.
Other foods we have added to her repertoire: broccoli, chicken, mushrooms, spinach, garlic, onions, cereal puffs, turkey and green bean casserole! Slowly introducing the foods as they are instead of puree them to a mush. So far she seems to be adjusting very well.
She also had her first Thanksgiving and enjoyed all the news foods! We are very thankful for the many blessings in our lives.
Tomorrow we are going to be baking cookies and spending sometime with other kiddies and then in a couple of days we are headed to the east coast to visit with family and friends and we cannot wait. It will be a nice, but cold, vacation.
We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

9 month check-up
Madyson is in good health! She just received her second flu shot (apparently they are giving two for the first year of life). She is growing like a weed; 81% head, 23% weight and 92% height. She is a long little girl! Her iron is a little low so we have started feeding her a few different things... the most interesting has been Chicken livers, which she seems to really enjoy! She is also eating egg yolks, broccoli, pineapple, and she even gnawed on a pretzel stick which I think she also enjoyed as it helped with massaging her top two teeth that seem to be pushing through. She is still sleeping well again... had a little lapse as the time change occured. Going to bed between 3:30-4:30pm and waking around the same in the morning. It was rough, thankfully we are back on track. :)
