Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

Yesterday we spent at Krista & Eliott's house celebrating our fathers. We ate way too much food, including WAY too much cake and ice cream, and generally had a great time :) I felt like I barely even took care of Eli all day. Either Abuelo was holding him...

...or Abuela. (Edgar helped a lot too) I was helping Krista get dinner ready, so Eli was passed on to other willing arms.

I do think Eli is about to cut 2 more teeth, so he was a bit more fussy than normal yesterday. He would not take a good nap. He usually sleeps for 45 min around 10:30 and then 2 hours at 2:00, but neither nap happened as it should...I think he napped 45 minutes TOTAL all day. He was pretty tired by the end of the day. He did sleep until 9 this morning, though...but then only took 1 nap for an hour today...he's GOT to sleep more during the day-for his sake and mine :)

Krista got him to stand up at the couch-I didn't even know he could do that! He looks so old when he's standing up! I can't believe that will be an every day sight soon!

Today was nothing special. I spent part of the day making some baby food for Eli since he was almost out. I only made carrots and peaches, so I didn't get nearly as much done as I had hoped, but oh well. I am going to make sweet potatoes tomorrow. Yahoo.

I did pick my first tomato today. I was very excited when I started noticing the tomatoes turning red last week. One was finally ready today! I went outside and took a picture, but didn't pick it right then, because I wanted to call dad to make sure a tomato being red was reason enough to pick it. Dad said go for it, so I went out this afternoon...

...and was completely frustrated that my once perfect tomato had been pecked at by birds...along with a few other tomatoes that were almost ripe. I was so upset!

I was also a little unimpressed with the size of my 'Big Beef Tomatoes'...I called dad back up to get advice as to how to protect future tomatoes from being bird food, and hopefully I will get some sort of net or cage to cover it. Until then I will be watching my plants vigilantly.

In other unrelated, unimportant news of my day, I tried a new recipe. I have to say, I LOVE the Cooking Light magazine. Edgar got me a subscription a little over a year ago, and I have loved every recipe I have tried from it. I got this recipe from it-Pizza Bianca with Arugula, Bacon and Mushrooms. I really liked it (though Edgar wasn't much of a fan. He liked the crust, and the fact that it didn't have a red sauce on it, but didn't like the mushrooms and onions so much. I might have to play around with it to make it work for him :) Fun!) I thought it was such a pretty pizza too, and couldn't resist taking a picture.

As for tomorrow...who knows :) I'm sure if anything even remotely interesting happens, it will be posted here. (And when I say interesting, I am implying that it is interesting to me.)
