You just can't make up this stuff

Well, the Moss house is full of excitement yet again. One would think that the baby would create all the drama and chaos, but so far it has proved to be the cats. Bella tore her knee all up in January, and now just look at Charles:


That's right. He's sporting the cone hat. It is just so sad. He apparently got into it with another cat, bacteria built up and created an abcest that burst. Gross, I know. Now he has to wear the hat so it will heal. He can't lick it, and that's why the cone is necessary. I know you all can just imagine how much he loves it. So, now we wake up about 5 times a night between Natalie and the cat. Thank goodness for coffee! :)

In more pleasant news, Nick got this awesome grilling cookbook for Christmas, so we broke it out again this week. Nick cheffed up some delicious steaks and I made Jalepeno Poppers and Alvacado Corn Salsa. We rounded it out with some grilled red potatoes. Yum Yum!
The Jalepeno poppers are pretty easy. I just halve and clean the jalepenos, fill the halves with a mixture of cream cheese and shredded chedder, and wrap a slice of bacon around them. Then you secure with a toothpick and grill. It's not the healthiest thing in the world, but it is good, and they are a treat. Here are some pics of our feast:




Natalie continues to grow like a weed. Her latest trick is rolling on her side. Here are some pictures from the past week.

We tried out her Bumbo chair this week. She sat up like a big girl and looks SO CUTE in it.






Here she is having fun on her play mat, and sucking on her hands - her current favorite activity:












Finally, I leave you with some mommy and Natalie time.
