let's see...

sheesh. has it been a while? i guess it has, thanks for reminding me megan.

let's see what has been going on..

ida had her last scheduled food trial at the hospital last week. we tested oats and she passed. she has started to consume cheerios and cheese strings. it is fun to see her eat. she did have a funny allergic type reaction the other night, her lips swelled up like angelina jolie and i thought i was going to have to bust out the epipen. still don't know what caused it which kind of a mystery, but all is well.

last night we had a lovely birthday party for mum. she turns 60 on wednesday so we thought we'd get together and celebrate. we had a delicious meal and cupcakes. we all shared precious stories about her. like the time she resuscitated a old man who was eating a malt after he had a heart attack at the mall. {chuck swears he was scared for life watching her give him mouth to mouth, there was a lot of malt and blood} or the time she and i began laughing silently and hysterically on the front row in the relief society room as a women stood in front of us and belted out "climb every mountain" in her best opera voice. {she should have been wearing braids and a viking outfit it was so over the top. i am SURE everyone in the room thought we were turds. how rude and irreverent, but we couldn't. stop. laughing}

ida decided to start walking at the end of the party which was AWESOME. way to commemorate the day little lady.

nothing else really to report. bit of snow, bit of sewing, bit of paperwork, bit of laundry. just bits. no big bites.
