9 Months

Austin had his 9 month check-up this week. He's a healthy baby and right on track with his development. He's so close to crawling. I think he just needs to get frustrated enough to get moving. He's in the 30th percentile and weighs 19 lbs, 13 oz and is 27 3/4 long. We love every inch of him!

Today we put on a Baby Einstein DVD for him to watch. I guess there's a reason why they call those videos "baby crack." He loved it! Here are a few recent pictures.

AHHH!
Teether biscuit gone wild!

Incredibly Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf

My Mr. Mom has been doing it up right lately! Here's another keeper recipe he found on allrecipes.com. Yum-my! And a little P.S.- Brett said this made the most incredible meatloaf sandwich the next day (on sourdough)!

Incredibly Cheesey Turkey Meatloaf
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
6 oz. Colby cheese cut in to 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 C. ketchup (optional)
(and Brett added 1/2 chopped onion)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a bowl, mix the turkey, milk, bread crumbs, ketchup, onion and eggs by hand. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the cheese cubes into the mixture. Transfer to a loaf pan and bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Eat and enjoy!
