mud pies and banana bread

so, i made banana bread today, thinking that it's been awhile since we had banana bread, those REALLY ripe bananas aren't going to use themselves and it would be cool for cole to add a new food to his menu. i was right on all three counts... especially the last one. seems that cole loves banana bread! i'm not sure what pleased him more- a new food or the fact that he fed it to himself! he ate a whole slice... and don't worry, i used a quarter cup of suger and substituted the other 1/2 cup with applesauce, so it's pretty healthy! that's about all the sugar i'm willing to let him have at this point...
this onesie was a gift from my cousin sandy- it's big for him yet, but i couldn't wait a day longer! now that he's crawling, i was really anxious to see the "mud pie" creeping along beneath my feet. so sandy, these pics are for you! i have to say, i am a sucker for this particular shade of orange, which is great because it neatly disguises sweet potato spills...
(ah, the mud pie...)

we also got our front door fixed today. i have no idea why i felt the need to say "front" because we have no other door.... but anyway, the deadbolt worked great, but the latch didn't quite work on the handle so it never stayed shut when the deadbolt was opened. so our resident mr fix-it came to take care of it. for those of you who have read our random ramblings from the beginning, i was calling him gerry. sadly, i was mistaken- his name is actually glen. ooops. i found this out because last week our garbage disposal had an issue so i called the main office to see if "gerry" was available in the near future to come take a look at it. the office lady laughed her head off and then told me his name was actually glen, not gerry. i don't know if she passed this little tidbit on to him or not- if she did, he never said a word. thank goodness- i am MORTIFIED that i have been calling him the wrong name for months! he's really good-natured so i'm almost positive he won't hold a grudge on that one. so- banana bread, a new door latch... life is good! now, if only cole would NOT wake up at 3 am, ready for the day, everything would be absolutely peachy.
