Winry's been starting to walk more and more lately! The only video I found, however, was from Monday night, and she didn't walk very far before dropping down. She had been walking all around Brooke's room before that, though. She's been walking more and more every day, and Monica got several good videos of her today, but they are not yet available for me to take. So maybe you'll get a great video next week!
At the start of the week things were super busy in the basement. We had 5 inspections scheduled for Tuesday!! It was crazy, but we passed them all so it's on to drywall! There were still a few minor things to touch up after the inspections were over, so I had to get those done quickly as our drywall was getting delivered Thursday.
Brooke got a new jacket this past week... and I think that's the whole story. But she looked really cute!
We were supposed to get hammered by yet another bomb cyclone this past week, and when Monica and I talked about it Brooke said she was really cold and needed the tent set up again. We let the kids play in the tent for a day, and they had a blast. Jelly goes crazy when we get the tent out too. She'd go lay down in a corner, and then when I'd lean over the tent and look in at her from the top she'd spring up at me!! Everyone loves playing in the tent!
Brooke continues to love swim lessons and is doing superbly. This past week we've also started practicing things from swim lessons in the bath tub. Brooke really likes to practice blowing bubbles (more so from her mouth, less so from her nose, no so from anywhere else). Today she even practiced some kicking after I took Winry out of the tub. Here she is working on floating with her teacher again.
Here's a picture I grabbed of the bomb cyclone and it was just starting to get into full swing... and this is about as bad as it ever got. When I was at work one of my coworkers said that the Governor had declared a state of emergency, called out the national guard, and asked that no one be on the roads after 4. It was pretty classic Colorado where the first storm slams you out of nowhere, and then you super overreact to the next, and back and forth. I'm sure the grocery stores all love it as their shelves basically get cleared out every time there's supposed to be bad weather... I wonder if they provide weather information.....
Since the bomb cyclone was mild, things were still able to proceed Thursday in the basement. On Thursday we basically just got all of our drywall!
Here they are craning it over to the window well for faster drop in into the house! Things went well and a single drywall guy came out on Friday and got almost the full basement done! Crazy! He's going to come back tomorrow and finish things up.
Brooke had a wonderful time at her swim lesson on Thursday too. Monica told me she even monkey crawled (climbing along the side of the pool) all by herself! She keeps loving it more and more, and is getting more used to the water every time she goes. She's really starting to like jumping in to her teacher, and you can even hear her laugh!
Winry this past week found the lint mitt on the ground. She was very excited, and super proud of herself when she put it on her hand all by herself! Winry also stabbed a book repeatedly on the table, after which she decided she needed to kiss it all better. What a cutie. Today at church she fell asleep in Priesthood while I was holding her. I was trying to keep her awake so she'd take a nap when she got home. But she just passed out and nothing could wake her. Not moving around, not saying her name, nothing I tried worked. She just lay there sleeping peacefully!
After church we had crepes for lunch, and then Brooke really wanted to play games. We were going to play the matching game with Monica, but while we were waiting for her to make dinner we played some Uno instead! Brooke is really good at Uno. We had a lot of fun playing until dinner was all ready, and Monica did a good job multitasking and cooking while playing the matching game with us.
Tomorrow is Winry's next dr appointment.. As such we needed to do her developmental questionnaire. One of the questions was if your baby passes a ball back to you, and we ended up passing the ball around for quite some time. Winry and Brooke had a lot of fun.
Then finally tonight Jelly just couldn't help but get into the laundry. She was being so silly and popping out to sniff me and then ducking back in!
I think that's all we've got going on around here this week. This upcoming week promises to be nuts as the drywall will hopefully get finished up AND I'm really busy with work! Hopefully when this week's over I'll have a little time to recover and get back into the swing of things. Have a great week!
