allergies

Wow, I've been a slacker haven't I? I didn't realize so many days have gone by. I don't really have an excuse - just the business of three young kids, a job, lots of doctor appointments, and trying to have lots of fun amidst the nuttiness.

We had one major appointment since I last wrote. I took Taylor to the allergist last week and it was a long appointment - almost 3 hours. They tested her for 9 potential allergies, she is has egg and nut allergies and they seme to be severe......minute issue after the last several months. Great news is that we have continued to see lots of progress. Taylor is working hard on lots of new sounds...a great sign. She says mama, baba, wawa, dada, etc. Not sure if she knows what they mean but the speach therapist would be proud.

Taylor is on a bit of a sleep strike.....or a huge sleep strike...but once again it seems like a somewhat minor issue. We had the opportunity to stay up from 1:30 to 6:30am 0n Friday night with a happy smiling baby..Joy Joy!

Lauren had a great report from Kindergarten...she is assimilating well and is up to speed on her letters and numbers. More importatnly, she is a good friend, polite, offers to help, and listens most of the time.

.....I just spent the last hour talking to my sister on the phone, so David decided to write tonight's posting. Isn't it great to have two writers in the family?
