Baby tony is finally walking.

The baby of the family is finally walking at 15 months old! Baby Tony mastered the “butt scoot” around a year old, and that has been his preferred mode of transportation ever since. He never crawled. While I wasn’t worried, his pediatrician was a little concerned at Tony’s 12-month wellness visit, and recommended that he see a physical therapist to help him learn to crawl, squat, and walk. We had a few appointments at Gillette Children’s in Minnetonka (love them!), and just as they expected, Tony decided to stand up and walk when he was ready!

Recipe: Energy bites.

Per the 7-year-old's request, we made Energy Bites this morning. This is a super easy recipe that makes a pretty big batch of bite-size balls that you can pop in the fridge, for a quick snack!

Ingredients:

2 cups oats
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup flax seeds
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl with your hands, form into bite-size balls, and store in the fridge for a go-to energy snack!
