Three Things

1.  I just made a pumpkin coffee cake.  Except I used a plain coffee cake recipe and just added canned pumpkin to it.  Major, MAJOR fail - even with the yummy streusel topping.

2.  I was testing the cry it out method for naptime while making said coffee cake.  I went back to calm the little guy down, and he was STANDING in his crib.  (That was definitely a first for him.)  He is really tall, so his entire head was above the handlebar!  (Note, my decision to put the crib bed at the lowest setting was a good one.)  I was so excited about his accomplishment that I took him out of his crib and nursed him to sleep.  I officially stink at the Ferber method.

3.  We had Henry's 2 month post-surgery follow up appointment today!  But the exciting part about this is that he was very hungry and tired on the way home = perfect time to sneak in a bottle.  He sucked down three consecutive ounces from a bottle.  Eventually he refused it again, but this gave me a glimmer of hope.

Crap. I got super-excited about your pumpkin coffee cake and was going to ask you for the recipe-until i read on. Welcome to my life in trying to incorporate pumpkin to stuff. I bought 2 can of pumkin but i'm scared to try anything. Your post doesn't help-but makes me feel better that i'm not the only one that gets punked when trying to use pumpkin. Love you! and yes, it's me.

Bummer! I hate when things go all wrong in the kitchen.

I have a really good recipe for pumpkin muffins if you want to re-try a pumpkin recipe. It actually should be in my October archives from last year.
