This is an easy meal that will fill everyone's tummy! Little Rocker really enjoyed picking through the huge variety of vegetables that I sauteed in a pan, and he loved the different flavor that pork brings to a meal. We recently rediscovered pork as a main protein and RJ is really loving it. It's a different texture and taste than chicken or beef and it's extremely good for you. I love that Little Rocker is open to trying pretty much any new food I put on his plate because I know this will open a wide range of culinary doors for my little man.
Sauteed Vegetables & Honey Mustard Marinated Pork
1) In a large skillet, heat about 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
2) Slice up a large variety of different colored vegetables and toss into hot pan
{we used tomatoes, eggplant, mushrooms, sweet peppers, sweet onions, potatoes, & cucumber}
3) Add a dash of salt and pepper {to taste}, and saute for about 20 minutes
4) About 10 minutes after starting the vegetables, toss about 2-3 thinly sliced pork chops into another skillet
{you can marinate before or you can just add about 1/4 cup of honey mustard marinade to the pan}
5) Cook pork for about 4 minutes and then toss, repeat
6) Serve pork over vegetables
As you might have assumed, and you were correct, RJ and I were more than slightly nervous about how bedtime would go last night. 
RJ and I decided to take an early night, last night, and planned on putting the little monkeys to bed and then going to 
ourselves. Nothing could have prepared us for the late night that it really was.
that just could not escape so he fussed and fussed and fussed 
it for him.

Jorge, his trusty

for the night and see how he dealt with that. 
finally I stayed with him and rocked him until he was too tired to keep his little eyelids open. When he was sound asleep I placed him in bed and snuggled with him for 5 minutes after he protested my attempt to leave.
I don't have any pictures for you yet, but I'm taking some cute ones with our "little Irish blessing" sheets just as soon as my silly monkeys wake up from naps. They're stinkpots for sure, today, but I love them still.
I have to apologize because I've been letting down those of you who visit my blog to read about Monkeys, Rockers, kittens, and family life. 
In the last few weeks, Little Rocker has grown to love Monkey Man more and more. He asks for Monkey Man when he wakes up from a nap and Monkey is still sleeping. He searches for Monkey 
Man throughout the house too. Sometimes, 
Monkey Man is almost 5 month old, and he's got the most amazing personality. 
I lose all feeling in my entire arm. 
here we come! He's a big boy. I love him.
seriously have scratches all up and down my arm from Maryland. Let me tell you, CAT SCRATCHES HURT! We still love our furbabies, and they're calming down a little, but I promise you I was very annoyed with them for a while there. I can't stand having my things ruined, my arms attacked, and my face butted while I sleep! Little stinkerpies!
