Raining

Last night it rained and I was in the tub singing "It's raining it's pouring the old man is sleeping..."

AND
I've overheard Mama say quite often lately "when it rains it pours" but today I think she needs to change that to "when it rains it pours and then the big limbs fall on your car!"

Friends

Several weeks ago some of mama's friends came to visit. Mrs. Carrie and Mrs. Erika and Ava. I liked playing with Ava (or atleast around her). Here are some pictures. Mrs. Carrie took much better pics but here are some from the day - isn't Ava a cutie!

Matters of the heart

I really like my little sister. Several people have asked how she is doing so I thought I would give you an update. She is almost 5 months old now - cooing, rolling over, sucking her thumb and holding her toes. She went back to the cardiologist a few weeks ago and they had good news - all of the holes that are normal for babies to have (PFO,PDA,etc) are finally closed and she only has one more hole (a VSD) that isn't supposed to be there. It hasn't gotten any smaller but her heart has gotten bigger around it and they are hopeful it will close up all the way. She's breathing so much better (no more tachypnia and other issues related to her heart) and as you can see she is eating just fine too - can you believe we used to have to run her feet and make her cry to get her to eat? I like to help mama with Lucy and I like to help her play (I usually just let her watch me play with her toys but for now that's ok).
