hello

This is Maddox's 1st day in the baby pool. He LOVED it!! he loves water and he would just wail when he saw the pool until I put him in.

Well, the DSL isn't always running right, but we are getting closer.

Things are going pretty well here. Still not much sleep, but one of these nights I just need to get tough and let Maddox cry a bit. We have a had a pretty good summer and fall is looking good too.

Maddox has been doing great with the solids and hasn't had any serious reactions in quite a while. Just some occasional hives here and there treated with hydrocortisone. He is scooting all over the place now, exploring the house and getting into all sorts of things. Today he ate part of a flashcard. Good thing he isn't allergic to paper. We have also found out he isn't allergic to mud, grass or dandelion leaves. He is 9 months already. That is crazy!!! He started waving "bye-bye" on Monday and on Wed started saying "bah bah" while waving "bye-bye".

Mason is doing well. He set up our yard like a campsite with bags and objects hanging from the hedges and "rooms" set up for him to sleep in. His imagination continues to grow. He is loving school and this week has gone well.
