it finally happened

Someone asked if I was Joey's sister! yikes!

Sorry I haven't been online much. Just getting into the swing of things in our new place. The kids are doing wonderful, aside from Lincoln being sick.

Emma no longer uses a baba. I told her in the months before the move that we would be moving and that the new house doesn't have any babas and we can't bring her old ones with us. When we moved I left them behind at our old place. Emma didn't ask for them once - not even at bedtime! I figured it would be an out of sight out of mind thing, but I was still nervous about it. Emma's new thing is "what" as in "what happened?" and "whats wrong?" and "whats that?" It's really fun to see how much she is talking now. She counts from 1-10 in spanish - she does pretty good with english too but hasn't mastered it yet, she is getting better with her colors and shapes too. She knows over 40 signs, and her vocabulary is growing so quickly I can't keep up with it all. She loves to point out all her body parts, and she asks for "hug" frequently. Potty training hasn't been going so well since we moved, but we are working on it - with her and with Joey.

Joey is doing excellent at school. His teacher thinks the diet is doing him wonders, and wants to try it with her own daughter now. Some of her friends want to try it with their kids as well. It is truly amazing what change has taken in him since he started this GFCF diet. I'm getting better at cooking GFCF too.

Lincoln was SO sick the other day. Burning up with a fever and extremely lethargic. He wouldn't sit up or roll over or anything, he just laid there either asleep, or awake with his eyes half open. He didn't smile or cry, he whimpered a few times and when I tried to nurse him he barely ate then threw it all up. When I gave him tylenol, he threw that up within seconds after I gave it to him. I just felt horrible for him. but he started to get better about 12 hours into it and within 24 hours he was 100% better. Must have been a 24 hour virus.

So that is what is new and not so exciting with us! I will try to catch up with the blogs I follow later today :)

That is funny that someone thought you were Joey's sister. Sorry to hear Lincoln was so sick. I hope he gets better. It is so hard when they are so little and get sick. My kids had the 24hr flu right before Thanksgiving. It was a long 24hrs. That is great that Emma is going without her baba. She is such a big girl now. I think diet has such an impact on us it is great that Joey is doing so much better because you changed his. I've noticed that diet very much effects my kids as well.
