Slippin and a slidin

Today was A BLAST!!  We 1st made snowmen here at home...Isabelle did not like the snow at all, but Emma and I made an "Emma and Isabelle" snowmen...pics soon to follow...We then went for our first time ever sledding here in Gardner.  A great hill by the lake.  We came back home ate pizza and snuggled up on the couch to watch a movie, eat popcorn, and sip some hot chocolate!!  What a picture puuuurfect day...couldn't ask for anything better!!

On our way back up the hill!!

Family Fun!!

Update on Isabelle

Isabelle yet again had another endoscopy last Thursday..Dr. Ellis said that her esophagus/larynx are not any better.  So he told us to go get x-rays on her sinus's and continue the Prevacid.  We will then have a follow up on the 22nd.  She is still not any better.  She is always hoarse and we continue to thicken her feedings.ts Her weight I believe is dropping off her curve.  She kind of reminds me of one of those sad little children you see on TV.  She has a big buddah belly and these little emaciated chicken legs...its sad...She eats like a hoarse sometimes I don't understand why she can't gain weight!  Last Thursday we also had Infant Toddlers Services come evaluate Isabelle to see if we qualified for any of their services. And she did!  We now will receive Occupational Therapy and Nutrition to come to our house and help us out! I think this will help us alot and the best part of it all is that it is....FREE!! :-)  Thats the latest on Izzy Bizzy...She is learning more and more every day.  She now says Hi, Bye, Please, Boot, Mine, Out, BaBa, Mommy, Sissy, Eat, PooPoo....and thats all I can remember right now.  She is such a little mommy...very nurturing.  She LOVES to carry around her baby dolls and will either just carry them, give them a bottle, or take them for a ride in her stroller...it is SO cute!
