So it started on Friday we all went to Eoin's graduation party. It was real fun. Mommy took me on the huge trampoline. At first I cried because it was new and I was not sure what was going  on. After I realized that I was bouncing it was all good. Mommy then helped me bounce on my own and walk on it.  I was not too happy to get off. I then ate lots of good food; pork, cucumbers, strawberries, watermelon, brownies and lots more.

On Saturday mom, dad, Crystal, Dave, Evan, Cole and I went to eat at Ciconie's and then went to the fair. I had a lot of fun. We all walked about a half mile or so to the grounds and I liked my stroller ride. Mommy rode a roller coaster with me and the giant slide. I had so much fun. I liked the lights and sounds.

Sunday I hung out with daddy and mommy at home to mellow out. I had a great daddy's day with my daddy. He is the best.

Monday mommy and I went swimming at the YMCA and there were a lot of kids there. I had fun. I like to see other little people.

Today Jenny came for the last time to see me until September. She is having another baby. We had fun today playing- I will miss her. Jenny is sending another Jenny to take her spot until then so my OT is moved to Mondays from Thursday. 

Bye for now.

The girls are asleep, dishes are done, and pictures are uploading. It is about time to call it a day.

I wanted to put up a quick post. I'm am trying to make an effort to throw something up more than once a week.

The real news, Christina is doing well. At least as well as can be. She has one tooth that finally broke through and I would have sworn there was another. At least it felt like it. Three more to go before the next round of molars. Her tone has been really bad the last few days. We're guessing another growth spurt. Poor kid, she tries so hard to reach and grab for things. You can see the determination and frustration in her eyes. And, the last two days I managed to feed her really well and bind her up. Last night she got the suppository. The first golf ball made a pop. The second was in the tub during bath time. I over-reacted and yelled for Angela. Something that big shouldn't have to come out that little tush. Christina screamed. After 20 minutes or so she was calm and bedtime was the usual.

So much for a little post. Time for bed.

What a day. The morning started bad, the coffee maker died today.

Woke up this morning and the coffee maker was on and not brewing. Tried turning it off and back on with no luck.

Not messing around this time, splurged and we ordered a Cuisinart 14-cup.

Can you believe that I am almost two!!!! I know it is time flies when your havin fun. Not much is going on here just hanging out. Jenny my OT went on maternity leave and left me my favorite toy until she comes back. I sure do like to play with it.
This weekend mom got me a mattress pad to make my bed real comfortable. I think that I like it. Sorry about not getting to the pictures of my MRI up. We have been busy hanging out. I like to be on the floor and move around. I am getting the hang of how to roll over more purposeful and scoot across the floor. It takes me some time but I can do it. Anyway here  are some new pictures.....
I forgot to add, I think that my kid cart is helping me to become more independent. I am also liking to talk more.

This is my favorite spiky fish.


Look sitting on my own !!!!!

Morning,

It is a gloomy Sunday morning. I am up before the girls. Coffee is started and I'm too lazy to grab the orange juice out of the back of the refrigerator.

Christina slept all night by herself. Huge accomplishment. I better check with Angela, to make sure I didn't sleep through anything. I hope this is the start of a trend.

I'm having a hard time focusing. This background is way to bright for this time of the morning.

Dan, Sheri, and Dylan stopped by yesterday afternoon. We got a couple pictures of Angela holding the two kids. Dylan is 11lbs 11oz and 2 months. Christina is 20lbs 6oz and 23 months. I will get a picture or two to put up.

I'm using Christina's laptop and I think I will check into putting SP3 on here to find out how much will break.

Sunday morning means pancakes. I better get the stuff ready to go. It is easier without holding Christina.

Last night was awful. Christina had another bad night. I don't know if it is her teeth or her tone. Maybe a combination of the two. In any case, poor Angela didn't get much for sleep and I woke up often. The two of them went a round shortly after going to bed. I was still up so I too a try with Christina to settle her down.

Enough babble, I hope tonight is better.

Christina's curls were really tight and hung down very pretty today. Never thought I'd be saying that. She looked like a little Shirley Temple.

Until the next post.

Sleeping so nicely at the hotel before all of my appointments.



Dr. Moore the most awesome doctor we are lucky to have him.



Mom and I goofing off in the doctors office.



My visit with Jan in ICC. It was soooo nice to see her and show off what I have learned.




Me showing off !!!!! For Jan



The one stick nurse !!!! HEE HEE She got my IV started the first time. Mommy and daddy were so happy, but mommy cried anyway.

My brain pictures will come this weekend or some time after.

Well I will be very short and tell more later. My MRI went well, the IV was started with one stick. That was very unexpected. Dr. Moore was impressed with me and told mommy and daddy to keep up the good work. We now have copies of all the MRI's and ultrasounds, will post pictures of them later.

I got to see Jan. That was fun. I even made it to MN before I started crying. Anyway more details will come later. It  has been a busy weekend.

Also mommy and daddy had Crystal, Dave and their two boys over for Memorial Day. Evan is 5 and Cole is 18 months. It was pretty fun. Lots of activity. Tell ya more later. Oh ya food was great of course it was grilled.

I am very tired.

I think that I like this one better. I do like the header. Love you. XOXOXOXO

The image I uploaded was not resized. It definitely needed it.

Let's try this one.

This is one of my favorites. Christina has such an old face.
