30 Months

Cassidy wasn't too sure about that parakeet.  I LOVED feeding them!




After watching some older girls stand on top of the fish and oyster in the play area, and jump boldly off of them, Cassidy decided it was her new favorite thing to do. 

Free face painting at the aquarium!




Mardi Gras 2011

We've discovered that part of having a kid at the parades is that we now rake in the "good" throws!  We ended carnival season this year with 3 laundry baskets full of stuffed animals, trinkets, noisemakers, and other cool mardi gras throws.

Jeff's Aunt Dorothy and her friend Sue came to visit over Mardi Gras weekend.





Even Nana got into the bead catching!


Some super nice people near us offered for Cassidy to try out their ladder when they weren't using it.
 We'll be getting one of these for next years parades!


29 Months









28 Months







One of the few times Mommy handed off the camera to Daddy to take a picture...
and Cassidy decided she hated the frog.





Mmmmm.  Beignets.

I'm a bit behind on my updates, so the next few posts will just be some pictures and some short captions to catch you all up on what we've been up to. 

Cassidy's great, as usual.  She's got a cold again, but the last couple she's gotten over without trips to the doctor, so we're hoping to continue that trend.  We are still NEB treating - once a day when she's healthy, and up to 3 times a day when she's showing signs of a respiratory infection.  She's talking in 5-8 word sentences and mostly understandable by other people as well as us.  Occassionally we can't figure out what she's saying when she's talking about something completely random.  She's been doing great with using the potty... in fact her last accident was with the last post on here! 

We're debating when we should convert her crib to toddler bed and give up the control it gives us when she doesn't want to sleep.  Any advice on this transition would be highly appreciated.  Whenever we do this, we'll probably start the transition to no diapers at night as well.  Again, any advice would be appreciated.

We've been making use of our Audubon Membership with trips to the zoo and aquarium and of course we were busy with Mardi Gras parading too! 

So look for lots of photos from the last couple months, coming soon.
