Is it March 13th already???

Lindsey hanging out at home

Lindsey playing with her friend Katie

My goodness how quickly time passes. We've been doing very well. We're getting into the swing of things and have a routine together. Lindsey continues to be adjusting nicely. She's walking more and more, and can switch directions etc. She had her first swim lesson yesterday and she really likes the water.

She starting to talk more too. She can say hello, hi, ot oh, bye bye, all done, bath, mama, dada, rosey, no, yep, baba, up, out, go, bubbles, I love you, shoe, and she is adding more words each day. She's also very animated, and she can point to her nose, ears, eyes, mouth, teeth, and can stick out her tongue and show you her tummy. It's amazing how much a little person can learn so quickly. She's also starting to like books more. She will look at the pictures and she starts to mimic them. For instance if she sees a picture of a little girl clapping she'll clap. Or if she sees a kitty she will meow.

Her routine is getting better too. When we first came home, she would cry when it was bedtime, now we tell her "good night living room"..."good night stairway"..."good night maxy" etc and she knows it's time for bed.

We went back to the doctors last week and she had an ear infection in her other ear, so she's still taking antibotics. The antiboltics are irrating to her stomach, but she's a toughy with a smile that will melt you.

A Very Nice Weekend!!

We had a busy weekend. Saturday was a beautiful day. Our friend Shirlon invited us over in the afternoon for a get together for Lindsey. In the morning we went for walk around our neighborhood, and Lindsey fell asleep in the stroller. Chris's brother Paul and Norbert came over for lunch and came to Shirlon's with us.

Shirlon had a wonderful party for Lindsey. Audra and Shirlon made a delicious cake, and some wonderful dishes and they gave Lindsey presents. Bernard, Jonathan, Jim, Denny, Annette, Leigh, Christine, Sharon and Lynne and Gigi were there and they all made some wonderful food and brought Lindsey presents. Lindsey loved opening the presents and she was very grateful too!!! She got a toy chest too!!!! She needed that! Shirlon's husband Jimmy tried to break the ice with Lindsey, and even gave up his remote control to her, but she wouldn't budge. It was a wonderful day! We can't believe how generous everyone is! Thank you everyone!

On Sunday Tracy, Bob, Matthew and Nickolas came over for a visit after church. We played with all the toys and the dogs and had a nice lunch. Nick and Lindsey are so much a like, and they are close in age. At first they were both a little leery of each other, but were pals by the end of the day.

Yesterday at home, today on the road

Yesterday Lindsey and Mommy spent the day at home. The weather was wonderful, and we went for a stroll around the neighborhood in the morning. After lunch, Lindsey had chocolate pudding, which she loved!!! When daddy came home we went to the Japanese restaurant for dinner. Lindsey loves miso soup!

Today we signed up for swim class at the YMCA. Lindsey will have her first class on Monday. She loves water and taking baths, so she will most likely like swimming. We picked up Gigi (Kelly) and went out to lunch and then up to Litchfield for Kim's mother's memorial. We stopped into grampa's house for a while and Lindsey still didn't warm up to grampa, even after he gave her an ice cream, but she did like his harmonica.

Tomorrow should be low key. A big storm is coming and we don't have plans. On Saturday we're going to Shirlon's house so Lindsey can spend some time with Audra and our friends, and then on Sunday Tracy and Nickolas are coming over.
