Three Things Thursday

1. I have done two runs outdoors in the last week. One was a 4 mile run and one was a 3 mile run. Both were at a pace less than 10:30 with one being at a pace of 10:19. Pretty exciting! I am trying to work on my pace when I am on the treadmill which is generally 1-2 runs a week. I hope the weather stays nice because I have been enjoying my runs outside. Tomorrow I have plans to put Isaac in the jogging stroller and going for a walk. I'd like to see how he does. I tried putting him in the stroller about a month ago and I felt he wasn't ready. We'll see.

2. Isaac had to stay home from daycare on Tuesday and Wednesday. His overprotective mother felt it was time to take him into the doctor. He's had the same cough and stuffy nose for a long time. The cough was sounding worse. Whooping cough is really bad this year and I decided it was better to be safe than sorry. They examined him..... said they didn't think he had whooping cough but wanted to test him just to be sure. They also said he couldn't go to daycare until they got a negative result. We got the results late on Wednesday. It was negative. Thank goodness! If anyone can make a mask look cute it's my little man! They made him wear this when we took him to the doctor.

Mommy... what is this thing on my face. 

3. Well I did it. I made baby food. It was pretty easy. I got some carrots from the farmer's market. cut them into little pieces. Boiled the carrots and put them in a seperate bowl until they cooled down. Then I put the cooked carrots in my food processor with a little tap water (not the water from the cooked carrots. It's not recommended with some veggies because of nitrates) and pureed them. Then I scooped some into ice cube trays and froze them. Super easy and super fun!


Isaac tried carrots for the first time today. He was not impressed. We will try again in a few days. We did take a video. He started out okay. Then he started screaming and was trying to get away. haha! I look forward to making more baby food and having Isaac try it. We'll stick with carrots for now though. It's recommended to stick with one food for several days and if he doesn't show interest to wait a few days before offering again.
