Another month gone. . . . April has been a screwy month on all fronts. The weather has been bizarro in Greenville - hot cold sunny and rainy on any given day. We had a contract on our house that fell through (the buyer's final loan approval did not go as expected) and within 36 hours we had it back on the market and a NEW contract in hand. This time with an incoming resident - which feels a lot more secure and "known." We are preparing ourselves to start packing everything up and get ready for the movers. Lola caught a cold and then graciously gave it to both Ben and me - who always find ourselves getting way more sick than she ever was originally. And we continue to house-hunt through our amazing proxies - Doug and Julia - up in West Hartford.
Ben is finally off trauma rotation and it couldn't have come soon enough. His last rotation of residency is pediatrics - which he is really enjoying. He has 2 months left of residency and has begun studying for the boards.
Lola continues to floor us with her constant questions and ever-growing vocabulary. Today she wanted to know what "trusty" meant. And then "dusty", "rusty", and "gusty" - all explainable. And then "lusty" - hmm.... let me get back to you on that one. In 15 years. We had her parent-teacher conference this morning and the teacher had all good things to say. She did mention that Lola hates when people get up close to her face - which she comes by naturally. Everyone we saw at school commented that Lola is a "hoot".
Allen is rolling over (not fluidly - but consistently) and sitting up without support (only takes a tumble or 2 each day :) He LOVES to eat his solids, puffs, cheerios, and mums - and literally screams if you are not feeding him fast enough. He is sleeping through the night and taking 2 naps at about an hour 20 minutes, and 1 early-evening nap around 45 minutes. He continues to be super smiley and laughs at everything (especially Lola).
