Florida in February

Here we are in Florida during one of the coldest February's on record - this was the only day we didn't need jackets! As you can see, Marleigh's hair has finally gotten long enough to put in pigtails. I think it looks fantastically cute!

She is doing great! Still no seizures and lots of smiles. We should be getting some speech therapy soon but there has been a bit of a delay with the scheduling. She has had a sudden interest in saying new words and repeating after me. She says "Mommy" now, instead of only saying "Daddy". And when she wants something she'll point at it or pull the whole box of cheerios out and bring them to me if she's feeling snacky.

She loves to say "Hello" to people. Not just "Hi" but the whole word and it is as clear as a bell. And she's being a great younger sister. She just adores Dylan and thankfully the feeling is mutual.


We took a day to go up to Disneyland while we were there and it was so cold that I should have brought our winter coats. We had them at my Mom's house but despite reading the weather report I still somehow thought it wouldn't be that cold and consciously left them hanging in the closet. I was wrong so we were a bit chilly even wearing every layer we brought in the car.

It was so fun to see how similar and different Disneyland is to Disneyworld. Both the kids loved It's a Small World and I think that is exactly the same at both places.


Doesn't she have the cutest eyes? Even in this low res photo taken at the Panera Bread at dinner, you can see those beautiful lashes.




We recently went to the Field Museum here in Chicago and it was very cool. Dylan's favorite part was seeing the most complete skeleton of a T-Rex (this one is named Sue for the person who uncovered the fossils in North America but its sex is unknown). Marleigh's favorite part was chasing after Dylan.

We are taking a trip to LA in April and Marleigh will see Dr. Kornblum so I'll have to fill you in on how her appointment goes. Hope all is well with you and yours!
