Someone turned the lights on!

Well, we have been very busy with all these sick kiddos. Kids tend not to sleep well went they can't breathe and so we don't sleep either... Linlee and Sidney are much better, but poor Conner has gotten the worst of the cold yuckies for sure. I have to clean his eyes and nose out every 10 minutes so he can see. Let's just say Gross!! He is pretty pitiful. {its pink eye}


A few days ago, Sidney started waving and at one point on Saturday was babbling "byebyebye" with it. She is also saying dada alot. When you ask her were so-and-so is and if they are in the room, she will look at them. Anyway, all that to say that I think a switch has definetely been flipped. It is so neat to be able to see the gears turning and the look of understanding on her face. She has started eating finger foods a little and even launched herself into a bent over stand today in the tub. Subsequently, we have a bump on the head for that one. More to come I am sure.


Linlee never ceases to amaze me with her abilities. Just a few days ago, she came downstairs to show me the card that she made for "the little boy and girl who live far away that do not have anything". She handed me her money pouch and said that she wanted to send the card and six dollars. Without much confidence, I asked if I could count out the money for her. To my suprise, she had 3 dollars in quaters and 3 dollars in dimes in the pouch. Don't ask me....I think she is ready for K!
