It NEVER stopped raining today!

Yup it's true, it rained or I should say poured the entire day! All we could do outside was hang around on the porch. I think all three of us were starting to go stir crazy. It's funny how you don't realize how much you depend on going outside. I am still sick, but slowly getting better. Still hurts to swallow and my tonsils look terrible still. Seems to be severe case of tonsillitis.

So many times today Daddy and Erika went outside to see if it was still raining....and of course it was. They explored the rain from the front of the house and the back of the house. Erika is doing great with not throwing food on the floor. I would be telling a lie if I said there has been no food at all on the floor! She had a great appetite all day today at all three meals. It is funny how when we are "trapped" in all day, it really seemed like all I do is feed her and clean up after her! That is not a complaint - just an observation.
I just adore watching Erika walk! I don't know which activity I think is cuter - watching her eat or walk. Both are so entertaining for me. Peter enjoys watching both of those activities as well. I had to change her outfit 3 times today and give her two baths! She is such a sloppy eater that there was no chance for clean up. She actually takes the food and smooshes it in her hair. I think that may be the next lesson in "no."

There is my smart girl reaching for the door knob to get in. Today at dinner we were counting up to five with Erika. She says "two" all the time but we also heard her say three. Without a doubt her favorite is two. Which is ironic to me because my favorite number is two!This is a terribly centered picture but I had to act fast to get it. If you look closely under Erika is poor Bob!! She likes to go over to him and sit & bounce on him. He is so sweet with her and puts up with so much! Bob and Erika are best friends!
