Interesting Combination

Just like Daddy.....Need wings to dunk!

Can't wait to get the pics!

Victoria and I went to meet up with Nat and Rowley and Jen and Ayden. We had a professional photographer for the afternoon, so got some great pics of the three girls. Here's a little preview - just a few shots Busha got by standing off to the side. :) She was a perfect angel for the photographer - did just what she asked of her. I stayed out of the way (I think I'd have made things worse if I tried to get involved :) ).

Culinary Dreams - Fixed!!!

V is always watching us make dinner. And of course, she is always watching some of our favorite shows i.e. F Word, Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, Rachel Ray, No Reservations etc... All cooking shows. So we picked up a little toy for V with some of Grandpa Russ' belated Christmas gift card. The various food items are stuck together with Velcro, which you can then cut with a plastic knife and cutting board. Sometimes she is successful....

Funny Video

Every night, after bathtime, it's naked baby time... sometimes it's the best time to catch V at her finest! (Partial nudity - only because I put undies on her for the video's sake!)

Model in training?

Getting better today

Victoria's energy level is on the way back up today... still at about 60%, but definitely better.

Oh - I got a ponytail in her hair very briefly the other day!

Sick (again!)

Well, Victoria has been to the doctor twice in the past two days. Yesterday began at about 4am with a lot more coughing than usual, then transitioned into throwing up all over a couple times in the morning. Yesterday, the doc thought it was just the drainage in her head that was causing the coughing and vomiting. Last night the cough progressed into a fever, chills, and more coughing. After a rough night of coughing (but sleeping 13 and a half hours), today I was met with a lethargic child who wanted to do nothing but lay in my lap, or lay on the floor. Back to the doctor, flu swab came back negative, chest x-ray came back clear. So, we're sticking with the ammoxicillin. If she's still the same on Friday, she'll get blood drawn to check for mono. After a two and a half hour nap this afternoon, she seems to be perking up a little.

I can do it... I don't need help!

Or so she thinks! This is an example of the result of a toddler who wants to dress (or undress) herself!

New Dress

Two cuties on a couch

Kristin has been slacking on updating the blog... I think you all should leave motivating comments for her to update quicker! Anyway, the second pic is Ella, our niece. When I took this photo she smiled upon request. Destined to be a model I guess.
