Eloise walks and other new stuff

I believe today it is official. Eloise can walk. She still crawls if she is down already, since she is already down. She can walk about 10 feet! The biggest break through was on the night that her sisters were at Grandma Rhonda's house. That way she got to practice and not get knocked over. Who wouldn't get frustrated if everytime you tried something new something or someone got in your way? Anyway that is what is new and exciting for her.

AnnaBelle is still working on getting milk. She can have a lot more than she used to have, but still not a lot. I am going to try using real butter in our baking, but I don't think I'll handle that one well. We have been trying the lactose pills and they seem like they may get rid of some her stomach pain. The problem we had though besides how awful she felt, was that she didn't retain her food nutrients when milk was in her system. We'll be monitoring her weight to make sure it doesn't drop, since she won't be gaining all the time like when she was a toddler.

Genevieve loves school but is suddenly very shy. She is already getting better at reading three letter words and reading her little books that Mrs. Sue sends home. What else? She still loves all the animals and helps Gideon feed the dog and the ducks in the morning.

Sara is still nuts with allergies, and going to start looking more into MSG. Scary stuff man. Gideon is still working at Steve's and as an EMT. I'm looking it to orthodontics to fix my jaw.
