breathe in, breathe out.





well, we thought that maybe it was the THIRD round of croup this winter, but perhaps not. after a trip to the pediatrician this morning, we are on our way for allergy testing and a nebulizer. awesome. isa's most recent round of respiratory crud coincided with two things: the introduction of goats milk into her diet and the vacuuming of the basement (and then upstairs) with our ancient hepa-less vacuum. so there is a good chance, according to the doc, that it's actually an allergic reaction causing her distress rather than a virus. we'll see. in the meantime, isa seems to be a-ok with the nebulizer treatments, atleast while it's still novel. she's not so sure what it's all about, but atleast it's amusing enough to keep from being thrown across the room!

here's a yummy thank you for grandma and grandpa schneider for the 'happy anniversary' gift card. as you can guess from the picture, we're treating ourselves to a nice dinner tonight, sans kiddo, who will be happily playing at home with the sitter. ah, the luxury! thank you again!

for bub and queen...






see! i told you it'd arrive on time! someone insisted on opening it a day early. and then proceeded to walk around saying, "meooooow. meeeeow!" for the next half hour. thanks!

a toddler dinner party...






so what does a dinner party with three busy toddlers entail? alot of pasta, toy sharing, jumping on beds, and the inevitable bedtime meltdown! this group of parents and babies have been getting together for a long while now and tonight jen and jim were the gracious hosts. it was a good time had by all, though we are not sure that poor jen ever got to actually eat her dinner. as you can see from the (not so focused) photos, the little ones had a grand time and even got to eat at their own table. not that they actually consumed much food. there were far more interesting things to get into apparently! enjoy!

communication update!

isa's had an explosion of sorts when it comes to communication, both verbally and using signs. she can now ask for specific things using signs... new signs being cereal, banana, cracker, and water. she is also starting to put more than one sign together to ask for more of a particular food or drink, in addition to being able to say that she is "all done" with something. she is also talking more as well and will surprise us with a random words here and there. yesterday she enjoyed saying "ski! ski!" while she was on daddy's back, skiing up the trail!
