{Katie’s Baby Blog} 10 Months Old and Teething

Finally….we have two teeth!! We have been waiting patiently for Lily to get her first tooth and within two weeks she has two popping up at 10 months old.

So far, teething hasn’t been as bad as I hear it can be, but I can tell it’s still very uncomfortable for her. Pretty normal with a slight fever here and there, very messy diapers, a lot of chewing and drool and a little whining.

Other than that, she is a happy baby girl!

Growing and getting bigger everyday — right now she weighs around 20 lbs and is starting to fit into her 12 months clothes! Which is great because I stocked up during tax free week and have all her fall clothes ready. Her pumpkin patch outfit(s), her Halloween attire, and all of the in-between fall vests, jackets, and little dresses that I just couldn’t help myself not to buy for her. Eek!!

She is still practicing and getting her balance down before she takes that first step by herself. We walk around the house a lot holding her hands, and she will walk back and forth between the furniture and stand up in the middle of the room by herself…even doing a little dance if she hears music.

I’m excited because her hair is finally long enough to put into a fountain on top of her head and into pigtails! AND now she is starting to say a few things…we have been working on saying “hi” and she likes to say “uh oh” when she drops something, but it sounds more like “uh uh” …so cute.

Life is busy, busy, busy with a 10 month old. We’re exhausted chasing her around all day and I know once she actually can walk…it’s going to get even more tiring fun! 😉

Beer Goggles Test with Frederick Police

The Frederick Police have drunk goggles. I teamed up with 930 WFMD's Bob Miller to test them! Do not drink and drive! Enjoy the video!

My favorite surprise during In the Streets 2019 was testing the drunk goggles with WFMD’s Bob Miller and the Frederick Police Department. Watch two radio guys try to drive a cart while under the simulated influence. We tried the LSD goggles at the end of the video.

You may remember Officer Long from #FourParksTheDream

{Katie’s Kitchen} Turkey and Egg Breakfast Casserol

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard.

My new favorite breakfast casserole and it’s less than 300 calories a serving!! A healthy option that I am probably going to make once a week for dinner, just so we can eat it as leftovers for the next day.

and don’t worry, it’s quick and easy to make, too!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using coconut oil, grease a 9 x 9 baking dish. Then, in a pan on the stove, add in your ground turkey and brown; then season with the Chili Powder, and Salt and Pepper.

While the turkey is cooking peel and slice your Sweet Potato. Slices should be pretty thin, if they’re too thick they won’t be as tender. Then, line the bottom of the greased baking dish with the sliced potatoes. You can even put the potatoes up the sides of the pan a little.

In another bowl beat the Eggs with a whisk and season with salt and pepper.

Top your potatoes with the turkey and then pour the eggs on top. Layer spinach on top of the eggs as well as any additional toppings you’d like to add. I added feta cheese and green pepper, which was delicious!

Place the dish in the oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes or until the edges of the egg begin to brown and the casserole is firm throughout. Stick a fork in the middle of the casserole, if it comes out clean the dish should be done.

You can 100% use this dish to meal prep and freeze for later, then defrost and re-heat in the oven for 15 mins.

Ingredients: I got the recipe here!

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil + more for coating the pan
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 12 Large Eggs
  • 1 small Sweet Potato (peeled and sliced thin)
  • 1 cup Baby Spinach
  • Salt & Pepper for Seasoning
  • Additional Toppings: Tomatoes (Diced Onions, Bell Peppers, Cheese)
