welcome to spiceland.

First things first!  New pictures of Heidi on page 2 of the Tru and Heidi 2009 album.

Poor Tru is sick. We spent all night Sunday night and Monday morning consoling her each time she threw up and cleaning her off. She took three baths and I changed the sheets 6 times that night.  Monday morning, we got some Zofran (anti-nausea) into her and she did fine all day. She had to stick to a strict  BRAT diet–bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast, in addition to Gatorade and juice.  She was fine all night last nigt, but first thing this morning she chugged a cup of juice and promptly threw up again. Zofran and the BRAT diet again today!

Mike was sick yesterday, too, and stayed home from work.  Heidi has a stuffed-up nose, and I had to take Seiko to the vet yesterday for an eye infection. Everybody in the family was sick except me!

Heidi has done quite a few new things lately. She started crawling backward at 8 months old, and within the past week, she’s learned to crawl forward.  She can say Mama, Dada, and Nana, but I’m sure she doesn’t understand what she’s saying.  She’s started eating more solid food, as evidenced by the pictures linked to above.  She loves mashed potatoes and carrots, as well as bready things like pancakes.  She’s got two teeth and may be working on one more.  She can pull herself up with a little support, and she can stand and cruise a little, too.  She’ll be 10 months old on Friday!
