Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

I decided to make these the other day.  They are SO good!
Here's the recipe:
Cinnamon drizzle:
1/2 cup melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 TBL ground cinnamon
stir everything together.  it should get to a consistency of toothpaste.  it will take it awhile, continue to mix it together to get it to that consistency.  Put into a ziplock bag and cut a tiny hole in the corner to drizzle it out.





Cream cheese glaze:
4 TBL butter
2 oz cream cheese
3/4 powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Heat butter over low heat.  Turn heat off; whisk cream cheese in until smooth.  Sift in powdered sugar.  Stir in vanilla extract





Pancakes:
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 TBL canola oil
mix solids together, separately mix liquids together.  Add, leave lumps cook over medium low heat.






This was so good!  2 will probably be your limit when eating these.  They are so rich that more than two will make you sick!  Enjoy!

to update an update!

We had doctor appointments the last two days.  Aubrey's was yesterday.  It was quite funny to go with her.  She refused to stand on the scale, so mommy was weighed then I got to hold Aubrey.  Standing up to get measured for height was, eh, okay.  The nurse checked Aubrey's pulse and arm pressure.  She's good to go on all of those.  She even sat still for all of that.  She was confused the nurse held her fingers on Aubrey's wrist.  I had to explain a lot!  They tried to do a hearing test.  Aubrey cooperated in having the earphone next to her ear, but wouldn't respond if she heard something or not.  The doctor is very impressed with he vocabulary.  We need to get working on potty training, which I totally agree with, but she has been a bum about it.  Here are her stats:
Height - 3' 2" - 65th %ile
Weight - 34 lbs - 80th %ile

Then we had Dean's appointment today.  Let's just say that I don't want to go back to the doctor's for a while. Sitting in the waiting room for more than a half hour is not my idea of fun.  Dean was great at being checked at. We had a really bad night last night, so I think he was just really tired and not being himself this morning.  This might get on the gross side for some of you, but most of you are mom's so you completely understand.  Dean has the tendency of not pooping for several days and then just exploding constantly on one day.  I asked the doctor about this and he said it is normal for an exclusively breastfed baby to do that.  As long as the poop is runny, we're good to go!  After the appointment we had to go and do shots.  Besides the waiting, that we once again had to do ( UGH!!!) Dean did great!  He got 2 shots and and one oral vaccine.  He whined for each shot, but never really cried.  He then continued to crash on the was home and was asleep for a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours!  Here are Dean's Stats:
Height - 26 1/2 inches - 88th %ile
Weight - 18 lbs 3 oz - 90th %ile
Head circumference - 44cm - 85th %ile

My kiddos are getting really big and I love it!

Aubrey turned 3 at the end of May.  She had a great day!  It was all about her and that is exactly what she loves!  She had been talking about her birthday for a few days before it actually happened claiming each day was her day.
For her special day we had family come over for cake and ice cream.  Aubrey loved all the attention.  Here are some pictures of the festivities!
