Today

I am 40 years old....

A Celebration

Today Grandpa turned 75. We all surprised him! Family came from Massachusetts, New York and Virginia. We had a great lunch at Positanos in Bethesda. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!

More Trouble....

That's Jenna standing on a chair to reach the lamp, then there's Jenna trying to get up the stairs by standing on a box to get over the gate, and then there's Jenna through the kitchen window trying to get outside to play with her sisters in the backyard. Jenna has unlatched all the child-proof cabinet locks and has found cabinets I didn't even know I had. She's got all my cabinet contents turned upside down, inside out. She's trying to turn the stove on. When Jenna has something she isn't supposed to have, she runs up to show you, and then takes off running and laughing. Jenna's also has learned that the tv is on a lot, and will be the first in the morning to get the remote to turn the tv on and off, and if that doesn't work she can go over and push the buttons on the tv to make things happen. Pheeewww........ I think I need a break!! I don't remember Amelia and Ava this all over the place.

Epilepsy: WALK FOR CURE

On Saturday May 8th at 8:45 am, our family will be walking to benefit Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE). The Walk will be at the Middletown Park Shelter in Middletown, MD. I am helping my good friend Colette with getting the word out for this Walk. Her daughter Anna and our Andrew have suffered with daily seizures for most of their lives.

I have also set up a page for Andrew on the CURE website. His page is: http://cure.convio.net/goto/Andrew

The Website for CURE is: www.CUREepilepsy.org.

Colette has arranged the entire walk, refreshments and entertainment. Please come out and join us!!

12 month check up

Doctor today for 12 month check-up. Jenna weighs 19lbs 12oz (25%) and is 30.5 inches tall (85%). This is the curve she has been on for awhile. Doctor still wants me to keep up with vitamin iron drops due to Jenna's blood being slightly below normal. Everything else checks out great! Jenna is due back at 15 months. At this time Jenna has three bottom teeth and 2 teeth coming in on the top. She's walking faster now - almost running, climbing the stairs when allowed and into EVERYTHING. She says baba, mama, daddy, who-dat and ma. She's very easy going, but still acts shy and even will cry a heartbreak sounding cry with some people. She's sleeping better at night, but still up once or so, but at least she goes longer stretches and is rarely awake during the night. Her two naps seem to be working now towards the one afternoon nap. She still is most amused by Ava and her silliness. She'll crawl over Drew, steal his cup and ride on him like a horse. Amelia really would rather be doing other things than play with Jenna, but when Amelia gives Jenna the time, Jenna loves it. Jenna loves to play where the girls chase her and make the loop through the kitchen, they all get super silly over that one. Another favorite thing for Jenna is to pull things out of places, wipes out of their box, pots out of the cabinets, books off of shelves...etc....I think that sums it up......Where did this past year go?
