On the first weekend in February we invited some of our friends over to watch the Super Bowl. This was kind of a makeup party because we planned one last year as well, but had to cancel due to illness. While we were all healthy for the big game this year several of our guests weren't and couldn't make it, but the Neels and the Uphams came and we still had a good time.
Also this month we went to the zoo. We had a good time checking out the animals, but it was at our last stop that Blake got really excited. This was at the zoo's new indoor play area called Zoomazium, but Blake never made it inside. Instead he spent half an hour playing with the doors for the kids entry. He would open and shut them whenever anyone needed in or out and couldn't get enough, we eventually had to drag him away.Blake's speech has been improving rapidly recently. He finally says his own name and pronounces Kyla correctly (previously he called her "Lyla"). Becky has started taking him to a neighborhood music class and now he'll just start humming a tune randomly. He's also learned to identify the letters B and T.
A big relief is that his allergies seem to be subsiding. We've started giving him foods that have milk and eggs baked in and he appears to be fine. The improvements are gradual because he still reacts strongly when given cheese straight up. We're not going to experiment with fish or nuts for a while, because there's a good chance he'll never get over those.
Kyla has been gearing up for Kindergarten, even though it is still six months away. She has started writing out words on her own and even doing written math problems. This is bittersweet for Becky, who is
really proud of her, but is worried about her little girl growing up too fast.We've had a few days so far that were nice enough to go outside, albeit usually with coats and gloves on. We're definitely looking forward to spring.
