Small Victories

Well it was another busy weekend. "Uncle Brooks" came to visit so that he could help to celebrate a mutual friend's birthday. As always, we had a good time. Aaron had a little bit too good a time and wasn't much help on Saturday morning.

Some how I managed to start a little project I had been wanting to do. I decided it was time to re-cover Kendall's nap mat for school. Marna was good enough to stand in for Kendall this morning so that I could take a picture of the finished project.
On Sunday we visited the zoo. This time we got to see one of the zookeepers feeding the fish in the aquarium (which is by far Kendall's favorite part of the zoo).



While there we also fed the giraffes.



Aaron had the day off work yesterday, so he joined Avery and I for my 6 week check-up. We enjoyed lunch at Red Lobster and then headed to the pediatrician to see about Avery's apparent cold. She has been stuffed up/congested (nearly since birth), but only recently has developed a cough and even threw up several times. It was quite scary, so we opted to play it safe and have the Doctor take a look. We left with a prescription for amoxicillin to treat the apparent fluid in her ear/mucus everywhere else. Hopefully that does the trick! I hate seeing babies sick. Now, if I can just kick my head cold we'll be doing good.

In other news, we booked our flights home for Kendall's birthday celebration. We are flying into Traverse and spending the weekend there - joined by the Denja's for Traverse City's Winter Wow festival. Kendall is very excited to see all her cousins again. She has regularly asked about them all since leaving, and as a result, has learned a few more words - Michigan and California. She has also almost mastered "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and the Alphabet song. Now we just have to catch them on tape.

In even more exciting news, she used the big girl potty last night. I think it was more accident than a potty training victory, but we'll take it. Sadly, I think we now have a licorice addict on our hands.
