Another week has flown by. The school year is over so I find myself with a little more time as tutoring has finished up for the next few months. Most of that time is spent trying to keep Brooke happy.
Speaking of, Brooke is continuing along with solids and is doing great. She's getting a lot better at eating food and not letting it all fall out of her mouth. Also, every time we give her a new food she gets this look on her face like "... what is this..." It never looks like she'll enjoy a new food. But after she processes the new taste for a while she's always ready to dig in.
She even reaches out for the spoon and tries to feed herself if you're too slow!
So far she's loved everything she's had and we haven't run into an allergy yet!
On Wednesday night I made my way out to Elders quorum basketball. This is only my second time going as last time I went I messed up my big toe really bad. About half of my toe nail is full of blood underneath, but it hadn't hurt for a long time, so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to go. Well, I only played 2 games, one in the basketball shoes I wore before that caused everything, and one in different shoes, but by the second game it was too late. I'd say that my toe got worse, but the wound actually moved all the way to the side of the nail and allowed it all to drain out, so my toe now is actually doing a lot better than it was before! So there's a bit of good news. I took half the week off of running while my toe was recovering, but I'm excited to get back out and give it a go tomorrow and see how I'm feeling.
I don't remember which night, but this week Monica made happy ramen noodles (I believe that's the proper name of the recipe)!
And Brooke spend some time on her tummy. I like to put some toys a little ways in front of her because she'll reach for them and sometimes kick her legs, so I'm hoping it helps her get moving sooner. She was able to reach her dinosaur at some point and made sure she got it in her mouth!
On Saturday we finally got a propane tank so we could use our patio oven. We made some awesome pizza for dinner! We even have one of these things.
And in it goes!
The first pizza turned out a little messy. We were not successful in keeping it from sticking to the... oven paddle thing. It kinda turned into a pile of stuff and leaked everywhere. We soon learned the secret and the rest of the pizzas turned out fine!
Here's how our very first "pizza" turned out. When it wouldn't slide off we tried to make it a calzone so it would be easier to pick up and move... but we still ended up with... something else.
I'm real excited for tomorrow night. We're going to get out our fire pit and roast hot dogs! I'm really excited, and hopefully Brooke enjoys a good camp fire!
I hope everyone out there has a great week and enjoys the day off tomorrow!
