WE EAT | Egg & Cheese Tacos

We are major egg-advocates in this house.  We have tried them a couple different ways {scrambled with turkey dogs HERE, and hard boiled HERE} and most definitely like them all.  

Egg & Cheese Tacos

3 whole eggs, beaten

pinch of salt

pinch of black pepper

pinch of smoked paprika

1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

Cant forget the {organic} whole milk!   As a child I was lactose intolerant.  My mother had to put a pad lock on the fridge to keep me out of it.. and if this same intolerance were the case with these two, I'd be investing in some locks of my own.

We offer milk and breakfast and dinner, but its water the rest of the day.  They would rather drink than eat {hence their nickname: little birds}, so I watch what they drink around meal times.   Whole milk fills them to the brim.

After the 73rd morning of 'sharing' his breakfast tacos with Parker and Jolie, Jordan decided to see how they would do with their own. 
We LOVE these whole grain white tortillas by Tia Rosa.  Whole wheat tortillas tend to be crumbly and hard when they are rolled (although perfect for a quesadilla!), but these are super soft, and really delicious to boot!

 Daddy.  Please, will you, help me roll my egg taco?

 Parker.. rolls and un rolls her taco - attempting to stuff every last scramble in her tortilla.  

Good girl.  Soon we will be dipping in salsa.

 We like it!  While we love a good scramble, these tortillas made for a great mix up.. and really fun for meal time with these two.  Totally renewing their interest in eggs.

Hey, Jo.. can momma have a bite?

Jo be like.. "JO{ey} DOESNT SHARE FOOD."

It's Always a Good Time for the Alphabet

We've got a couple of |BIG| favorites - but by far our favorite things to do lately it take a bath.  We loved baths before, but these days we totally digg 'em.  

We recently switched the girls regular bath from the hall guest bathroom to our bathroom with the bigger tub.  Mostly so that if there are guests visiting they don't have to dodge Dora while scrubbing their hair.

{Side Note}: these girls don't know Dora the Explorer from Adam.. we don't watch Nick Jr. very often, but we got some bath toys as a gift, and they love her!  

Since the total upgrade from hall bath to master bath, its been a fight to the last drop down the drain after to plug is pulled to get them out.

Bigger tub, lots more space to play.. and the alphabet.  SERIOUSLY changed our bath time life.  

These foam letters stick to the side of the tub (just simply from being wet), and who knew it could be that much fun.  I personally think that this time  of development in their little brain is the perfect time to start with a (bath) toy like this.  The girls are starting to say much more words, repeat words that Jordan and I say, and comprehend requests and commands given.

For the last month or so we've been working on eyes, ears, nose, eyebrows, hair. They point all these things out without a problem and with every attempt to annunciate each facial feature.  We can pick out the animal by shapes and sounds while doing puzzles, as well as colors and size of stacking blocks.

So, with the alphabet, we have been working on shape recognition as well as memorization of the actual letter.

 We sing the ABC's, too.  I do most of the singing.  And these two will be the only one's that will ever hear my singing.

These Nuby Bath-Tub Foam letters {found at WalMart} also stick on other things besides the tub when wet.. Jolie and Parker think that it is absolutely hilarious when Daddy spells out words across their belly {or baby bootie}.

They stand their and let him stick the letters on, and then squeal with delight!

I think their Daddy has way too much fun with coming up with words.. he's a firemen, folks.  

They never grow up.

Sweet smiles and fun before bedtime is always a win in my book.  Thanks to these our baths have gotten much more educational.. and they didn't even know it!
