So the past few weeks have been rather busy. But then again, life with 2 kids is always busy! My little Alison is getting big. She is on to bigger and better things, like eating biscuits, crackers and melon. Great for her, rather frightening for me. But so far, no choking on my watch! She has also (finally) taught her self to roll over; from belly to back. She gets a big kick out of it. (That happened on Thursday, 10th). Her poor little tooth is almost poking through, one more day or so and she should "officially" have her first tooth!
As for my Julia.....
Julia loves being a big sister. She is so good to Alison. She spends a lot of her day hugging, kissing and entertaining her little sister. She is also a good helper for mommy. Last week Julia helped make cupcakes for Daddy's birthday cookout. She did a great job, and insisted she was a "better baker" and "better cupcake froster" than Auntie Krissy....who is a pastry chef, but I wasn't going to argue. Of course the day before she came down with a tummy bug, but she was too excited to stay home and be sick. Myself, on the other hand, between Julia and Alison, has cleaned up entirely too much throw up in the past week. Seriously.
Yesterday, Julia and I spent the morning at the doctor's office. Of course our usual doctor, who Julia adores, was not in. We saw my other favorite doctor, but of course the sight of him makes Julia cry. She needed to be seen for a bug bite she got on her eye. Her eye was really swollen from it. She made herself so upset at the office, yup, more throw up! Today is also her last soccer game (for which she is excited because she now "hates it.") Of course it is picture day, so Julia will be there with her swollen eye. Oh well!
Last night, Jay and I let Julia stay up late and we made a fire in his new fire pit. Julia was super excited because we made s'mores. What can I say, the girl has my appetite. I was pretty excited, too. We took a huge bamboo stick and loaded it up wtih marshmallows. Julia patiently sat with it over the fire slowly turning it until the marshmallows were ooey gooey and golden brown. I had the graham crackers and chocolate all ready, and once that sandwich was made, she couldn't get it in her mouth fast enough, but then again, neither could I.
