Stats

Kellen has now been sleeping my arms for almost 2 hours because he refuses to take a nap anywhere else today. This should count as my arm workout for the day right?

Yesterday he got his 2 month shots and cried harder than I have ever seen him cry. I almost cried. Anyway, Mr. Kellen was a big boy when he was born (8lbs 10 oz.) but not so much now. He weighed in at 11lbs 13 oz. (49%) and is 21 1/2 inches (5%)...little shorty. I was SO surprised since Emma is HUGE and always in the 90% plus he seems so big to me!
The good side is that it gives me hope that he will be a better sleeper eventually. Apparently babies don't sleep well through the night until they are closer to 14lbs. Every night I get my hopes up thinking...this could be the night he doesn't wake up! I am always wrong.

2 months

I can hardly believe this update. Where did my newborn go?

At 2 months Kellen...

loves to snuggle his face in a blanket to fall asleep
still wakes up 2-3 times a night
only takes naps in his swing
smiles and talks all the time
kicks his little legs non-stop
still has a hard time keeping the binky in his mouth
has wayyyy too many poopy diapers a day
but is loved more and more every day!

He has his 2 month shots : ( and checkup on Tuesday so we will have some stats on the kiddo then!

Easter

Easter seems to become more fun the older Emma gets. We had a great time with family at Trevor's parents house and only wish we lived closer to Emma's cousins who are her age so she would have someone to play with! We tried our best to get our annual family Easter picture but Emma basically tries to run away as fast as she can when a camera is around. So here are a few of the best ones out of about 12 pictures.

I am usually the one taking pictures so I don't have many with Kellen, I thought I would take advantage of the chance!

Kellen's first Easter egg hunt : )

More than the candy Emma enjoyed the bubbles....

and the windmills

I'm pretty sure she only ate candy, cake, and chocolate milk all day long so naturally she crashed hard once we put a stop to it.

Pork tacos with pineapple salsa

Trevor and I are both trying to get healthy and in shape so I decided that I need to get on the ball and start cooking healthy. I found that planning one week at a time is easiest and my shopping day is Monday so it just works perfectly. Mondays are now meal planning and shopping days and that's all I put on my to do list because it is exhausting to shop with two kiddos.


I made these last night and they were SO good I had to stop myself from eating more than 1.5 servings. It took my about an hour to prepare mostly because I used fresh pineapple and it was my first time cutting one. next time it should only take about 30-45 min. TOTAL. That's a good fast recipe in my book. We had them on small flour tortillas and added lettuce and a bit of sour cream. Also I grilled the pork outside because I don't even know how to broil something. Anyways, today I will actually be eating left overs for lunch and looking forward to it!

Since I now know this recipe is a keeper I took my printed copy and put it into a 3 ring binder that is for our "Dschaak Family Recipies" Hopefully I can keep up with all our favorites so I have something to pass on to Emma when she goes off to college and get's married and needs some inspiration.

Now it's Tuesday...laundry day. oh boy.



Ingredients

• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 2 cups pineapple chunks, diced
• 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced (didn't use)
• 1 pork tenderloin, about 1-1/4 pounds, sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 package white corn tortillas (10 per package) (used snack sized flour tortillas)

Directions

1. Heat grill or broiler
Dressing:
2. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, sugar, salt and the pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until blended. Stir in cilantro.

Salsa:
3. In medium bowl, combine pineapple, tomatoes, garlic and jalapeno. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
Pork tacos:
4. Combine remaining dressing (about 1/3 cup) with the pork in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in refrigerator about 15 minutes. Grill or broil pork about 6 minutes, turning, or until desired doneness. (I cut mine up into about 6 pieces so it would cook faster) Slice into thin strips, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave 1 minute. To serve, fill a warm tortilla with a few pork strips and some salsa (and lettuce and sour cream), and fold up.
