Well, the magic day came. I crossed two weeks since getting my second vaccine. That means we're open to heading out and about. To celebrate we... pretty much did things the same as always. We talked about going to the rec center to swim, going bowling, etc. We did go to the zoo on Friday though! That was a lot of fun, and now you only need masks when you're indoors, so that was nice too! Here's a picture of Monica and the girls. I was carrying Grayson in a carrier, so we missed out on this picture. I'll have more zoo pictures later, don't you worry.
Here's a picture of the kids being cute. I don't remember what was going on. I remember both girls wanted a blanket when they woke up, and then when Grayson got up we put in between them and they shared their blankies.
Winry had her first trip to the dentist this past week. It was just for a check up/teeth cleaning. They had The Little Mermaid prepared on the TV when we got in, and she was great! She listened and did what she was asked and all in all did an amazing job! She was very quiet and didn't talk to the people there much, which is behavior I don't remember seeing from her before. I remember Brooke being really quite around other adults, but then again, it's been a long time since Winry's really been around other adults.
Winry also got some x-rays. She did great here as well, and we got to see her 4 front adult teeth on the top and bottom. They're all there, biding their time, awaiting their moment of glory. Also, there were no signs of cavities or anything like that! She's been a great flosser since Brooke had her cavity and we started, so it's nice to see it paying off. That said, the dentist also told me we didn't need to worry about flossing yet... but I'm going to ignore. Maybe he doesn't remember we just had to come in and get a crown...
Grayson has started sucking his thumb. He doesn't do it all the time, and I'm not sure he does it at night when his pacifier comes out, but it's pretty cute! Speaking of cute, here's Brooke playing with Grayson at bedtime. It's not related, but I don't have a picture to go with that video, so here's as good a place as any for it.
The girls continue to love going out to play with the neighbors. I think school must be done for the kids by us, because they seem to be out basically all day every day now. Winry got a turn on the trike and loved it. She can get to the pedals on this one, unlike the big wheel style one we have, so she was having a blast riding back and forth.
Jelly continues to come take a nap in the office in the afternoon of every work day. She now stays down here after I finish working, and will come upstairs sometime between 5 and 6 when she wakes up.
As mentioned, Friday we went to the zoo. I got a day off this week for my test trip, and took it Friday. I've included some of my favorite pictures I took. The flamingos were great while we were there! A small group of them were fighting, which was very interesting to watch. I've never seen that before. Brooke kept calling out for them to stop fighting and get along. It's a little hard to hear her, but she is staying "Don't fight, it's not nice!" One of the flamingos fell asleep and kept kicking his foot right on the mud bank, which I very much enjoyed.
I almost got a picture of a penguin diving into the water...
Grayson eventually got tired and so Brooke got out of the stroller to walk for a bit. Grayson fell asleep and had a great nap. He did miss some animals though.
The Okapi was being a sneak and eating whatever that is on the other side of the fence. This reminds me of when we were at the zoo in Minnesota (picture 28 of 50) when some kind of deer was eating the grass under the fence around it's enclosure.
There was a group of sleeping lions, and while we were there one of them kicked the one in front of it.
Grayson has started to top his table onto his lap so he can reach everything. I guess that's easier than leaning forward... maybe?
On Saturday Katie and David came over. While they were over I thought "I should take a picture for the blog because we always forget" and then forgot. Not to worry, David sent me this picture of me with Nolan, their son. And besides, I photoshopped Katie and David into a post before, so we're all good.
While they were over we had lunch and played some in the house and some in the back yard. As you could see water was a big winner. We filled the water table and it was enjoyed. We also hung up the swing, and eventually I even got a turn. Winry came and joined me. I think I might have to work my way out to that swing a few times this summer, it was nice.
Saturday night we went crazy and celebrated vaccination a bit. We ate AT a restaurant! We went to Casa Mariacha. Monica did her best to order food that was migraine safe, and in the end the food doesn't seem to have bothered her, so we've got a family favorite restaurant we can go to again! Look how happy Grayson was to be there! Also there were bunnies running around in the grass right outside our window the whole time, so the girls loved it too!
