Yep - you read it right...I actually have a title that doesn't include the word "sick!" Blair is responding beautifully to the asthma and reflux medicines. No wheezing, rattling and barely any coughing at my house - only the sounds of huge flocks of geese honking as they fly by...no, wait, that was just me blowing my nose because of all the dang pollen floating around. :)
She hates the mask we have to put on her for the inhaler. She screams, wiggles and tries to wrestle us to the ground when she sees it coming towards her face. But, we only have to do two puffs and give her a chance to take in 8 breaths with each puff. Or, if she's screaming, 4 breaths (think about how deeply you breathe in between sobs when you get hysterical). We try to time inhaler time with her bottles. Take the mask off, shove a bottle in her mouth and she forgets that you just tried to kill her by putting a horrific, giant plastic monster on her face.
In other news, we started baby food last week! So far we've tried apple sauce, peas and sweet potatoes. It is looking like my dear, sweet daughter has the same love of food in general that her mom has. The sweet potatoes are the favorites so far. And she isn't all that messy with it! She sits in her big-girl chair (booster seat), opens wide and smacks her lips if you aren't shoveling it in fast enough. Oh, and all of this new food is making diaper changes extra fun. I'll never be able to look at peas the same.

Yea! I am so glad to hear she is better! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I can't wait to see her Sat, and you too of course!!
Of course, Jelo is pleased to know that Blair will have happier lungs in warmer weather...... That means more time at Summerhouse with us!! And keep the veggies coming! When Olivia made the transition from baby food to real food, something happened and she got really picky. Hhmmm, she really is a Little Jennifer!!
