Lollipops and Labwork

Alexis now goes to dance class just for the lollipop. While Miss Tiffany is teaching the class, Alexis "pretends" to participate, waiting until just the right moment when Miss Tiffany's attention is diverted and she heads for the bucket of lollipops. This goes on several times before the commencement of the 30 minute class. She has yet to succeed in outsmarting Miss Tiffany but her determination is endless. In my determination to make my daughter graceful, I will continue to take her until either she hates me for it or the lollipops lose their luster.

Alexis's last lab test came back. NEGATIVE for celiac disease. I am so happy that we are not dealing with something so life altering. However, I am more perplexed at what is causing the tummy trouble. After speaking with a good friend, I Googled "toddler diarrhea" and her symptoms seem to fit. The condition is worse when the child drinks juice ,so for now Alexis is missing her beloved apple juice. We will see if the answer is this simple. I sure hope so.

I took Hannah to get weighed today. I like to know how much she is growing and I have a hard time waiting for her well baby visits. She weighs 12 lbs 4.4oz. She is getting so big and her little rolls are so cute. She is also missing her neck and I hope that one day it turns up.

The most happy news of all is that the girls have a new cousin. Baby Bree was born yesterday at 12:24 PM and weighed in at 8lbs 3oz and measured 20.5 inches long. Congratulations Todd and Rorie!
