Amazing!
And these are the tomatoes we picked from our very own garden:
And here is the deliciousness that Jake made with the tomatoes:
It's getting totally out of control in our tomato plant patch. We also harvested a huge batch of tomatillos, and made some delicious green salsa with them. YUM!
In non-produce-related news, over the past week, Lucy has grown up a bit. Or maybe, more appropriately, we have finally acknowledged that she has grown a bit. First, we decided to retire the baby swing. While it didn't list a specific size or weight limit, it did say "discontinue use when baby becomes too active." The very squirmy Lucy definitely qualifies, and since she seems to try to grab the bars as she swings past, it seemed like this was the time to migrate the swing to the basement.
Yesterday, I finally put an end to the very very very much over-taxed bassinet. This lovely bassinet has served us well. In fact, it sets an age limit of 3 months and a weight limit of 15 pounds. Lucy has long since surpassed these markers, but we continued to use it for diaper changes and bath prep, because it made things easier. We never leave her in it unattended, so it seemed like it was a reasonable place to put her for a fresh diaper or to undress her for the bath. On Thursday night, however, she showed me a new trick. She's become very squirmy when she's being changed, and her favorite thing to do is to flip herself over onto her front just when you're trying to get the wet/dirty diaper off. Nice trick. Since the bassinet is small and confining, she not only flipped herself over, but got herself up on all fours and started rocking. Her rocking meant that the entire bassinet was shaking. This didn't seem like a good thing. So bye-bye bassinet. You have served us well.
I'm actually not that sad to see these two items move on, as they were really taking up a lot of room in the dining room. Nice to have that space back, just in time for Lucy to start crawling (any day now).
