Heath and Caleb

Last Sunday, my good friend, Heather, came into town with her little boy, Caleb. Caleb is only 8 weeks old and I had been chomping at the bit to go see them in Charleston. Well, their air-conditioner crapped out and after a torturous week of being in a hot house with a newborn, she decided to seek refuge at our house until the unit was fixed. We were lucky enough to have them here through Thursday.

This little dude was so cute and totally gave me a bit of baby fever. He's at the perfect age where he loves to smile and tries to coo when he's super excited. He was such a good baby too and only fussed when he needed something. I hated to see the little dude go because I know he's going to be so much bigger the next time I see him. I really can't handle how fast they all grow!

Heather and I had a great time rehashing middle school, high school, and college. I still can't believe that we went to all three together! It was such an awesome experience to see her as a momma too now! So proud!

We all loved having you here so much, Heath and the kids are still asking, "Where baby go?" I hope it's not too long before we get to spend that kind of time together again! Here is the recipe you asked for:

Not Yo' Momma's Banana Puddin'

1/2 box vanilla wafers
3 bananas, sliced
1 cup milk
1/2 (5 oz.) box instant French vanilla pudding
4 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 (12 oz.) container whipped topping

Line bottom of a 8 x 11 dish with layer of cookies and layer of bananas on top. In a bowl, combine milk and pudding mix with an electric mixer. In another bowl, combine cream cheese and condensed milk together until smooth. Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Add cream cheese mixture to pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour mixture over cookies and bananas and cover with remaining cookies. Refrigerate.

(I would love to take credit for the above, but it's a Paula Deen specialty. Fair warning - this 'naner pudding is r.i.c.h!)
