Sorry for not updating. I wish I had some great excuse as to why, but I don't.
Ellie is doing wonderfully! We stopped the Erythromycin a few weeks back (we are now thinking she was allergic/reacting to this) and started her on a natural, organic calming supplement for babies which has been great! (We heard about this from a Chiropractor.) She has pooped almost every day since starting this supplement! She's been able to eat more solids (still no prunes/plums and peaches) and has been much, much happier overall. It's been a much needed break! We attempted a milk trial the Thursday before last and that was a disaster so she's back on just Neocate again! She's trying to crawl, too. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth but has yet to figure out that she needs to move her hands to get somewhere. Most of the time she ends up looking like a dying, flopping fish on the floor. And no, I don't help her. It's too funny to watch! Sorry, El.
Emme is great as always (er, almost always). She's really getting into imaginary play. Last week was the first time she pretended to be an animal (a puppy) and would only answer me by barking. She cooked her own egg a week or two ago- really, all by herself! I cracked it on the pan and she did the rest, she even flipped it! She's really been enjoying playing outside (though it's too cold right now). I've found her countless times digging the dirt out of my herb window box to make dirt/mud pies. I should mention that she insists on doing all of this while in her dress up white wedding shoes. It's really a sweet thing to see.
Josh has been slammed at work lately with lots and lots of project deadlines. I'm so, so thankful he has a job where he enjoys what he does and enjoys the people even more! It's a really great company and we're so fortunate. He's also planning on teaching for two weeks in April at the tech school he went to. I know he had a lot of reservation before receiving the material thinking he'd have to make all the lesson plans, etc.. Little did he know that they plan each night out for you, provide every material needed, all the lesson plans, projects, etc., etc.. Talk about e-a-s-y money! I know he'll do a great job.
Hope you all have a great week. I'll try not to wait another almost-month before updating. :)
