May Gray

In San Diego, we have "May Gray" and "June Gloom," when the mornings are overcast, gray, and occasionally (gasp!) drizzly. Well, we seem to be starting this month out with our very own May Gray. The Babe had a fever/cold several days last week that kept her out of school, then she seemed to get better. But over the weekend the fever came back with a horrible cough and by Monday we were getting her chest X-rayed to check for Pneumonia. And that's what it was/is. So she's been out of school 3 days again this week. Thankfully she's doing a lot better, but it's still very painful when she coughs. We're lucky to have such a trooper. We just hope that we can all be 100% healthy for our trip to Chicago in just a few weeks!

Just a week before all that, she was in rare form...dancing up a storm in her new Japanese pajamas:




Goofball, as usual:


E-man, is NINE MONTHS OLD already (!) and has been doing great. He has five teeth (BIG ones, too!) and counting, loves using his pinchers to eat puffs and cereal, has been practicing his "ba" and "ma" (not "mama" yet though") sounds, is army-crawling all over the place, and still laughs and smiles the most for his big sis. He has his 9-month check-up next Monday so we'll see just how big our big boy is!

Ethan even lets Izzy play with his hair. Now that's a good little brother:


See my big teeth?



"Oh hi!"


Captain Adorable (no, we don't call him that, it's on his onesie ;-))
