I can't believe it's been exactly a month since I wrote a blog.  That's terrible.  Things here are so crazy, though.

Arianna is now almost 3 years old.  We started potty training her in November and we're not any closer than we were back then.  It's taking forever!  She has also decided that it's time for tantrums and boy is that fun.  It isn't all bad, though.  She's starting to have imaginary friends and it's so funny watching and listening to her play with them.  She has such an imagination, always pretending to be all sorts of things and, of course, Mommy has to play along.

Nathaniel is growing like a weed.  At his 6-month (Yup, he's 6 months old already!) check-up he weighed in at 16lbs and he's 27" long.  He's nursing really well, no more problems there.  Yay!  But we do have problems elsewhere.  He has an allergy to rice cereal, of all things.  His face gets all red and blotchy, with little white bumps like hives.  The worst reaction even went down his neck.  Right now we are waiting to see a pediatrician and we watch him like crazy after every meal.  This allergy didn't surface until at least a week on the rice cereal.  So far, he hasn't reacted to oatmeal cereal, which is the only other thing he's eaten at this point.  We'll have to see what the pediatrician says.  He's rolling all over the place and can get himself where he wants to go in a combination roll/pull forward motion.  It's fun to watch him; although now we have to work extra hard to keep Arianna's small toys away from him.

I'm keeping busy with these two and church activities as well as my Close To My Heart business.  Our house is buzzing!  It's great even though it can be tiring sometimes.  I do miss everyone here and I wish I had more time to spend on Minti.  I still think about all my friends here, even if I'm not on to leave you notes in your lounges.

Sending hugs to everyone!
