Curried Beef Short Ribs

Note: I found this was more realistically four servings.

Finishing this dish with lime zest and juice brightens its rich flavors.

Less Off Kilter

Keegan is doing amazing since his surgery. He seems to be enjoying all the new sounds and has been in a great mood. The verbal skills haven't improved noticeably but I understamd that it will take time. His walking has been dramatic. I can't believe the change in the past three days. He has all the strength and physical skills I guess his balance was a little wonky. In the past few weeks he has gotten into a better evening routine. The plan is to start his sleep training this weekend and that will get him into his crib. He wakes around 6:45 on the weekends. It is so painful to be up that early on a Sat. Ask anyone who knows me and they will assert that I am not a morning person. I must admit it is kind of nice to have all that time to get ready at a leisurely pace. I have started getting up earlier during the week because I need extra time to make sure the house is in order before we're gone for the day. How sad is it that I am looking forward to an upcoming trip because I might get extra sleep? I know, I know, welcome to parenthood.

PS I think I have decided on a new url and blog name. It's a secret for now, much like when Keegan was on the way. You'll have to wait until it is "born."

That's great to hear that he is improving at a fast pace! Can't wait to see the new blog! I'm getting a new layout soon too but same url.

Yay, Keegan! That surgery can make such a huge difference (not that that makes having your poor baby in the operating room any easier). I hope he's back to 100% and beyond very soon.

Glad to hear Keegan is improving already! The verbal skills will take time, but he will get there. I know what you mean about the getting up early-Rachel's a super sleeper, but getting up at 6:30 on a day off is just wrong. She goes to bed between 8-9 and sleeps until 6-7 so we can't complain...but on a vacation day, 6:30 isn't right!
