Lukie does more and more fun things each and everyday! Some of our favorites of the moment include: 1. Making this really funny "cheesy" smile whenever we get the camera out. This just started this week and we don't know where it came from. He scrunches up his face and does the above "smile" for the camera ALL the time now.
2. He said his second 2 word sentence today all on his own. When Jeremy came into his room this morning , he said "Hi, Dada!" I about had a fit. The other 2 word sentence he says is "Get down" in reference to the cats. He has heard us tell the cats to "Get Down" off the table thousands of times and Luke started saying it about a month or two ago, but his sounds like "Git Down" in perfect southern drawl! Love it! We may be living in yankeeville, but we are still raising him up right! :)
3. He does the monkey sound now (he learned it from a zoo toy we have.)
4. He will sometimes get this plastic box with a handle that carries some potato heads in it or his Elmo computer that has a handle and walk over to the front door and tell us "BYE!" It is so funny. It's almost like he is going to work or something. It cracks us up every time. These are all I can think of right now....Mom, if I have forgotten any that we talked about on the phone this morning let me know and I will add them to the list.
Mom/ Liz/ Everyone, here is the promised easy breezy chicken pot pie recipe. Thanks for the recipe, Christy! This has been a Payne family staple ever since you gave it to us and Luke LOVES it!
Ingredients:
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1- 15 oz. can of mixed vegetables
1/2 cup of milk
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked chicken
2 pie shells plus 2 for the crust top
Directions:
Mix 1st 5 ingredients. Pour into pie crust.
Top with pie crust. Cut slits in top.
Bake 40 minutes at 375. Cover edges with foil to prevent
browning and remove foil for last 15 minutes.
Thats it! SUPER easy! AND it makes TWO pies.
(Cook's notes: I usually buy 2 frozen pie shells in the freezer section for the bottom crust and the pillsbury crust in the refrigerator section for the top crust. (It just seems easier to me.) And since it makes 2 pies, I usually cook one and freeze one. It tastes just as good after its been frozen and I love that I get to cook one night and get two nights of eating out of one recipe. This is probably a known cooking fact, but approx. one pound of uncooked chicken is a perfect amount for this recipe.) Enjoy!
