Sign-a-Song

We have started taking Nellie to Sign-a-Song classes in Park Slope. It is a lot of fun. Nellie doesn't seem to be taking very much of it in right now. Mark and I will keep working on her though.

Nellie update

Some of you may have seen from my Facebook profile that Nellie and I have been quite sick. We both had a nasty bout of stomach 'flu. It is really difficult to see your baby sick. Especially when she is this young and can't tell you what is going on and you can't explain that it will all be better soon.

I lost 4lbs which is good but Nellie lost weight too and that is bad. Her Buddah belly has lost some of its roundness and her tremendous thighs have been reduced to thunder thighs.

She was weak and morose on Monday but on Tuesday she was back on track. She woke up hungry and happy. Wednesday she ate everything in sight and giggled the whole day! She seems astounded by her recovery. A week is a long time for a baby. She probably thought this was how it was going to be forever. Mark and I got pretty proficient at blocking and dodging projectile vomit and getting Nellie swiftly over to a sink so it could all come out one tube and go down another.
