6 months!

Howdy all!  It was a great week over here.  Brooke finally hit the 6 month mark!  We wanted to take some 6 month pictures with her in her great dress she wore last Sunday, but she was having none of it so this is the only one we got.

This week was good.  We were pretty busy through most of the week, and Brooke was having another growth spurt, so she was all kinds of grump!  She got shots again on Tuesday, which she loved!!

Also, solids have been going well.  We've given her oatmeal, bananas, sweet potatoes and apple sauce.  We even made her sweet potato fries one day so she could try to feed herself.  Typically with things like that she'll put it in her mouth and take a bite.  Then she drops whatever's in her hand and opens her mouth wide open until all the food has fallen out... but at least she's doing well with mashed up things!  Apple sauce is probably her favorite food right now.  It's also very convenient for us as we just have to take it out of the jar!

Saturday was a very full day.  I went running in the morning, and then right when I got home we left to get breakfast.  There's a place in Parker called The Egg and I that only does breakfast and lunch, so we went to try it.  It was very good, and Brooke was very happy while we were there!

After we had been there she started getting a little upset, but nothing looking at a picture of her on my phone couldn't cure.  Video

I spent most of the day working out in the yard.  I mowed the lawn, turned on the sprinklers and made sure they work, and got all the rocks and rose bushes out of our little strip of dirt along the walkway to the front door.  I moved a few sprinklers around and put in a whole bunch of grass seed.  Hopefully in a month or two we'll have grass in there!

Monica went to a yoga class earlier in the day at the rec center and got a day pass.  When I finished working outside she thought we should take Brooke swimming.  It was a great idea!  Brooke enjoyed the water, and her mouth only went in a couple times... which she wasn't too fond of.

She had a lot of fun and enjoyed swimming around the lazy river chasing dad!  Swimming really tired her out and when we got home she ate and zonked off to sleep!  All in all a very busy and exciting Saturday!

And with that I believe we're all caught up!  Hope everyone is doing fantastic out there!  Have a wonderful week!
