A quick video I took a few days ago.
We've had house guests galore for the past two weeks (first our friends Vladimir and Cornelia, sans children, visited for a few days from Switzerland, then my mom was here, then my sister Alana crashed in the office for a week before her apartment subletter left.) We had a small birthday party for Elliot; I've got a video of him and his birthday cake that I'll try to upload today. Yesterday I went to a friend's baby shower while Gary and Elliot went to a surprise birthday party for another friend (Lexi and I joined them later, but it got cold and late so we came home before it ended). Gary left this morning for a short trip to Seattle; he'll be back Tuesday night. Meanwhile Elliot's been playing with the cheese grater, tape measure, and other various kitchen objects he's been finding.
I am still off dairy and Lexi seems to be doing well as a result. We still don't know for certain that she has a dairy intolerance, but it looks likely that she's intolerant to something I'm eating. I'll ask the pediatrician next week when we go in for Elliot's annual checkup.
Posted by Jen at August 12, 2007 02:46 PMHi Jen - do you eat a lot of soy? even though soy is touted as the "miracle" food - there are a lot of people who either have an allergy or an intolerance to it. Just mentioning because I have a friend whose son - now 18 - was considered lactose intolerant as a newborn and he was put on a soy formula - still had problems - and they just discovered he has a problem with soy and foods that contain soy - and there are lots of things out there containing soy.

Great video of the family's new little 'princess', she's a real cutie. Thanks so much for sharing. Can't believe that Elliot is now two years old. How time flies. Looking forward to seeing the video of his birthday party.
