This is what I had to brave today, we are infested with mosquito's. It makes me not even want to go outside; so needless to say, no running for me for a long time. Good excuse, right? Today was a girls day, because Dustin had to work, and I had to make a mad dash to the car without getting eaten alive by these lovely creatures. My poor baby looks like she has chicken pox because she is so eaten, ha. It is like every time I open the door, ten come flying into the house. Dustin even sprayed our yard with mosquito killer and they are still there, hopefully we won't get West Nile, ha.
If your wondering why I took this picture, I didn't. I didn't believe Dustin when he said there were killer mosquito's outside our door so he took a picture of them for me.
Harley hanging out on the couch
Harlowe is crawling around the house like no tomorrow, you can see a preview of her little teeth.
Harlowe didn't take a noon time nap so she is looking pretty spacey. Oh, Dustin is in the bath with her having a ball with the bubbles. I think Dustin likes the bubbles more than Harlowe, ha. These bubbles are sugar based so it won't irritate her eyes if they happen to get in her face. Thanks, Christina (my sister-in-law) for the great bubbles, Dustin and Harlowe love them and play with them with each bath.
This was the dessert I made tonight, key lime pie with a graham cracker crust, yum. I haven't tried it yet so hopefully it tastes as good as it looks. I have been the domestic diva one night a week for my husband and tonight is the night. We had salmon with Indian curry, coconut sauce, with sauteed spinach and Dustin was nice enough to help me with the fried rice.
I even made a croissant french toast bake for tomorrow morning. It is croissant's soaked with a custard; made of eggs, milk, mashed banana's, and maple syrup, I also added blueberries and almonds. It is really kinda like a breakfast bread pudding. As you can see, I love to cook and I love to talk about cooking. Since Harlowe eats table food now, it seems like I have to plan ahead and cook more which I don't mind.
Oh, for Dustin's parents and my mother, the above picture is of the new granite we have in the kitchen.
This was more or less our exciting day, I haven't blogged in awhile and I have lots to blog about. Harlowe had her nine month doctors appointment and she passed with flying colors, we did not have to get immunizations this visit, hallelujah. She had her lead test and iron tested which were normal.
Her weight was 16lbs 15oz which is the 20th%, height: 27.5 in. which is the 45th%, head: 44cm which is the 50th%. I was a little concerned about her weight but Dr. Zuniga was not concerned at all because she said, babies her age become more active and taper off when it comes to weight. And Harlowe is active from the moment she wakes up to the time she goes to bed.
