Meredith turned five on the 18th (see the pics on our previous post). She had a great time with her family and friends and we appreciate all of her great gifts. The "Birthday Monsters" paid us a visit a few days before her big day and did a room swap in our house. The girl's room is now upstairs, which is great because now they will have more space to play (and store their truck loads of toys). Someday Delaney will start sleeping through the night and she'll move in with Meredith. The Birthday Monsters were kind enough to bring Meredith a big bed, so now we don't have to hear her complain about her feet sticking off her old bed.

Delaney continues to impress us with her try. Out of nowhere she's started to spend more time on her belly and seems determined to crawl. She is a very curious baby and wants to explore everything; particularly food. We are encouraged that she wants to eat our food, and she is getting better at eating her ground veggies and cereal. Her nose is still running and we don't know if it's teeth or a cold she's battling. She also had her first dose of the drug Synagis, after a two month fiasco dealing with our insurance company. Synagis is like an immunization and is aimed at RSV. RSV is no joke for babies and we intend to do our best to protect her during the sick season. Don't take our quarantine measures personally...
