Well after three sick days this week, I am back to work. Claire had croup and I have some strange respiratory/sinus nonsense. It’s always fun to come back to 230984 emails, but such is life!

Claire cracked me up yesterday morning. Her voice was finally coming back and I said to her “Claire, it looks like the frog is gone from your throat!” She replied to me…”Yes mommy, last night I opened the window and he jumped out into the cold!”

Madeline had her 15 month checkup on Tuesday. She is still above the 95% in height and at the 95% in both weight and head circumference. It’ll be interesting to see if continues to grow at this rate. Jonathan has a lot of height in his family, and I do as well. Our doctor was really impressed at her vocabulary. He asked if she can say 4 monosyllabic words and I was like, um…yeah. Just then she saw some teeny piece of paper on the floor, picked it up, dropped it in the trash and said “oops, accident!”. He looked at me…”accident? That’s a 3 syllable word.” Two seconds later she fell off the bottom step of the doctor’s table and said “I fell down”. He looked at me and said jokingly “I shouldn’t be surprised…both you and Jonathan are talkers”. If only she slept as well as she talked….

Back to it!
