All Clear

While nobody has been officially sick for almost a week, it's taken almost that long for everyone to fully recover. Weslie and Gabbie are still on their meds, but they are back to normal. It's nice to have the family healthy and happy again.

First Haircut

Well, Weslie finally got her first haircut. It's took almost two years before she really got any hair, but once she did it started growing like crazy. We took her to Planet Kids, which specializes in cutting kid's hair. It wasn't much of a haircut. They just trimmed it up a little.

Look Who Came to Visit

This weekend we were hit by a small outbreak of the flu. All of us except for Weslie, who was smart enough to get her flu shot, but then again she got strep throat instead. So everyone was taken down by something. We spent all weekend going back and forth from the doctor's and the drug store.

Gabbie Bit Me

Imagine our surprise when we found out that Gabbie got her first tooth, and then her second one the very next day. They're the two middle ones on the bottom. If she would only get her two front teeth she'd really be able to bite.

Finally Some Snow

After the warmest January on record, we finally got some snow. Actually, we got more than some snow, we got about 15" of snow in one day. It took a little while to dig out, and then the snow was so deep it was hard to play in. Go here to see a video of her playing in the snow.

Princesses

Recently Weslie has become a big fan of the Disney Princesses. It all started when we went home for Christmas and her cousin, Reagan, had Princess everything, and they would play dress-up all day every day. So, when we found out that Disney Princesses on Ice was coming to Baltimore we bought tickets. Weslie loved it.

Nightmares

Weslie has been having a rough couple of nights. She's been having nightmares bad enough to wake her up crying and that she's scared to go to sleep. What are her nightmares about? Not monsters, ghost, or goblins. Her dreams are haunted by . . . Oobi. Oobi is the main character on a children's show. Of course she's scared. He's a hand with eyes. If that's not scary I don't know what is.

Has it been Four Months Already?

Gabbie had her four month checkup, and like Weslie was she's above the 95% in height and weight. We just have big health babies. Our pediatrician has ok us to start feeding Gabbie solid food. That is if you consider baby food solid.

No More Braces

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since Mary had her braces put on, actually 23 months. Well, today they came off. It takes about as much time getting use to not having braces as it did getting use to having them. For a little blast from the past check out our news archive for March, 2004.
