That's right, I officially started back to work full time on 7/3. Which meant Brooke would be starting up daycare on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Luckily the daycare center I chose, Creative Kids Club, is located in the same industrial park that I work. So she is only 2 minutes from me if any issue was to arise. So far both myself being back at work and Brooke's time at daycare have been great. She seems to be taking well to all the ladies at the center and I can tell that just by being around other little ones, she's picking up on different things. I must say though, that I love when I walk in there to pick her up and she looks at me with those big blue eyes and flashes the cutest, most heartwarming smile my way. It has brought tears to my eyes almost every time. I love that little girl!!!! Hopefully, she'll continue to do well and eventually make some good friends as she gets older.
As I have mentioned a little while ago, Greg started up Streamline Masonry again. And he landed a nice big job with my mom's boss installing a new staircase, repairing an old staircase and installing a flagstone patio. I will post some pics once the job is complete. Brooke and I are very proud of him and we're pulling for more jobs to line up. Way to go Greg/Daddy!!!
On the 25th, my family got together for another Game Night! This time it was held at Brandon and Adelina's apartment. The food was plentiful (thanks A), the drinks were flowing and the games were heated. I will have to give it up to my bro who ended the night with 100% success. He was on the winning team for each and every game. Nice job B, but don't let your head swell too much....Oct. 3rd will be here before you know it and Greg and I are coming at you hard! ;)
Umm...yeah, I'm not too sure about this.
**Brooke Update**
Brooke had her 5 month appt on 7/16. She weighed in at 16 lbs, 10 oz. and 24 1/2" long. A gain of 4 lbs, 13 oz. and growth of 1"! Now granted that was in a matter of 2 months since she didn't have a 4 month appt, but still, quite a growth spurt huh? She got 2 shots and I know it sounds like I'm always repeating myself, but I tell you, she feels no pain!!! Or maybe it's the excess flub that surrounds her thighs. Either way, I'm so proud of her. Her next appt is 9/15. For the past couple months she has been eating like a big girl. We have introduced her to all types of fruits, all types of veggies and a few varieties of cereal. She has yet to refuse any of them; however, Sweet Potatoes seem to upset her belly so we have strayed from them. She also is in the midst of sitting up on her own. She still needs the boppy pillow as support, but I don't foresee that to be around in the near future!
