More Baby O

I can't resist posting a crying picture.

Baby O

Playing in O's Room

A few more...

With a two year old there is no way I can edit all the photos at once.

O's 2 1/2 year pics

So I decided to take 2.5 year pictures of O.  I had to bribe him to keep the hat on.  I let him play with a lock box.  He loves to play with keys.  I am happy with the few photos I captured.  I love him in hats.  He is so serious, not one smile.

I can't get enough of his little feet.

Make the grits according to the package directions, using chicken broth instead of water.  When they're cooked stir in cheese, scallions and some salt and pepper.  Cover.

Heat the oil in medium saute pan over medium heat.  Add the smoked sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic cook until lightly browned 5-7 minutes. Add shrimp and tomatoes and Old Bay seasoning and cook until shrimp are pink and firm ( if using precooked shrimp, heat through).  Add salt and pepper and hot sauce to taste,  Serve the shrimp over the hot grits and garnish with scallions.  Makes 2 servings.
