The week started out with a visit to the OB office. The baby is growing great. He’s around 4.2 lbs and is in the 62% growth chart. So I figure he’s going to be about 8lbs at birth (which is now only 7-8 weeks away.) His kidneys are just fine and he’s in the breech position. But we have time for him move into the right position before the big day.
After seeing Addy’s baby brother, we headed to another apple orchard. This time we scored! We got to walk the orchard and pick our own apples. It was a beautiful sunny day for it. Addy picked her own apple and chopped on it as we walked & down the rows of apple tress. This orchard didn’t have as many animals as the last, but we did get to feed some goats and see a pair of bunnies. I bought 2 big bags of seconds for applesauce.
Ended up getting my sis-law’s grinder & juicer attachment for my mixer. Boy, that was a smart move. It was slick, all I had to do was cut the apples in quarters, boil them until they were mushy, then feed the apples into the contraption. Presto-instance applesauce. THANK YOU Suzanne! That would be a nice Birthday/Christmas gift??? I got 11 quarts of sauce out of those 2 bags. I hope that will last us through the winter. Probably not. Maybe I should get more apples?
Adalyn has started the What's that phrase. So it's been a constance "What's That? What's That?"
Also this week was Adalyn’s 2nd birthday. We had kielbasa (one of her favs) and a Smiley Face carrot cake. I didn’t do such a good job on layer the cakes, as you tell from the pic. The top layer broke apart due to not having a level layer. It did taste good. Plus I had another chance to make it right, read further. For her birthday gift we gave her the kitchen set, and then some accessories for it. She got some washcloths, kitchen towels, oven mitt, apron, a rolling pin, salt & pepper shakers, and some pans.
On Sunday we had Addy’s official birthday party with family members. She got to play with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. As Addy opened her gifts, she would say “surprise” as she was pulling out tissue paper. Then she helped in getting the Birthday Song going, "Ready, Set, GO” she yelled. Then everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. At the end she clapped her hands and yelled “YEAH!" She had everyone roaring with laughter, We enjoyed another Smiley Face carrot cake and ice cream.
Round Two
What a nice way to end the week. Until next week………
