Dancing and Eating

Here's what the girls have been up to over the last week:

Hannah, a dancing queen.  She put on all the jewelry she could get her hands on and
danced around singing a song about how pretty she and Riley are.  



Riley is sitting up, with almost no topple over's.


She's eating everything!  Still no teeth but I think she's starting to teeth.  Some of her favorites are beans, bell peppers and bread.  And of course, sweet potatoes.  
She also had her first taste of ice cream this weekend and, of course, loved it.  She didn't even shudder from the cold of it.  


This is a picture from Chicago, I really like though.

Attacking Lucky


This IS the reason Lucky is an awesome cat.


We're trying to get her to use her legs a little more.  She's a little behind in her gross motor development, as a result of her surgery.  One of the things she doesn't do, that she should, is support herself on her feet.  If you hold her up, she doesn't extend her legs.  So we thought this bouncer might help out and teach her that she can put some weight on her legs.

The Museum of Science and Industry


This is my favorite museum in Chicago.  Of course, I haven't been to all of them, but out of all the sites I've been to in Chicago, this is my favorite.  Especially the You! Experience, formally known as Body Slices.  This is the second time I've been and anyone who has seen my scrapbook has seen the photo's of the body slices exhibit I saw the first time around.  While we were in Chicago it just happened to be a free month at the museum.  So Lori, Harrison, David, Hannah, and I all went to the museum.  This kids had a blast.  We walked a step behind them, and just followed them around, letting them lead the way, with the exception of the things we all wanted to see.  Lori wanted to see the baby chicks hatching, and David wanted to go to the kid's only section.  I wanted to see the body slices again.  It would take so much to cover everything in the museum, I don't think I've seen it all.  Some the things they have are a coal mine, a farming section, a technology section, trains and airplanes, and so much more.  If you find yourself in Chicago, you should definitely check it out.

David has been waiting years to go here!


Poor Harrison was shirtless for half the visit due to some 
over zealous water play.

A Last Minute Trip to Chicago

Last week, David and I made a last minute trip up to Chicago.  His grandma, on his mom's side, went in to the hospital on life support with a 7 day directive.  This meant that she would only stay on life support for 7 days.  We found out Tuesday afternoon, we left first thing Wednesday morning.  David had an appointment at the VA clinic in WInston-Salem that day, that we could not change, so we drove there first and spent about 5 hours there.  At 330, we began our 12+ hours drive to Chicago.  It was such a long day.  We pulled into is grandma's house at 4 am NC time.  We've made a joint decision to not drive through the night anymore, it's just too hard.  I mean we get there at 3 am, Chicago time and Hannah's up 3 hours later.  The drive itself was uneventful, with only a little bit of snow.  The visit was nice, considering the circumstances.  His grandma did pass, very early Friday morning.  His other grandma turned 88 while we were there, so we were able to join in the birthday celebration.  We went Lucky's Sandwich Shop, the Science and Industry Museum, Half Priced Books, and Trader Joe's (I'll blog about that in another post).  Hannah loved the baby (Sir William) and she loved helping out with him.
