Day 292

By Stevie -
Isabelle has her first taste of peanut butter with no reaction. But as most people know (and everyone SHOULD know) - it's almost always the 2nd or 3rd exposure that triggers a reaction, if it's going to.

 We visited dad at work today!

Recently I started giving them baths together. SO MUCH EASIER and quicker.  However I don't really trust her to sit up so I got this sit up seat for her. Lifesaver. They got recalled because parents were leaving the kids in them and walking away and so the kids were tipping them over and drowning. I literally don't get that. I don't move an inch away from them when they are in the tub. She loves splashing around in it. By the way, the water has colors because we have tablets that turn it colors. One of Jack's favorite things to do is pick which color the bath water will be.

Isabelle is clapping and giving high fives if you ask her too. She also is sitting up by herself form the floor and going from sitting to the floor neatly.  She's also feeding herself a lot. And likes to. Although she haaates holding her bottle. Refuses to do it. She eats the food we are eating and chunky baby food too. Not eating with spoons yet by herself but with hands.  If you help her, she will stand for a few seconds and she loves to jump. MUCH better at putting weight on her feet.  Babbling like crazy. Mostly saying "dada". And... drum roll please... we saw her take 4 crawl "steps" this weekend.  And so it begins.

We met the keynote speaker - Tim Harris - who is the only person with down syndrome to own a restaurant in the country. He also was our friend, Kim's, homecoming king (she was queen).  So I chatted with him about her. Her onesie says "my extra chromosome makes me sparkle".
