Weekend at the Beach House

Annabel's week didn't start off so good due to an intestinal virus, but by Saturday she was well enough to take a family trip to the beach. On Saturday morning I had a few errands to run so Annabel got to spend some time with her favorite Loma. She has not been able to spend time with her since Annabel was last in the hospital, but she sure did wonder where Lanny was. During the day on Saturday we took a ride down the beach in the Jeep. The weather was a little windy during the day for the golf cart, but by evening it was perfect. Annabel was unsure of how to react to the wind blowing in her face on the golf cart. Today started out somewhat normal for an Annabel weekend. She woke up and watched cartoons for a little while. Who needs the beach when her big sister Tara can bring the experience to the beach house! Annabel had her own setup with her swimming pool and umbrella to keep it cool. Tara also bought her a new swimsuit to help her from getting too much sun. You can check out the photos of the whole experience!!! Can you believe how long her eyelashes are?!? Once she got comfortable in the pool she sure did enjoy playing with the toys and kicking her legs. It's hard to believe that as hard and fast as she kicks she isn't out running a marathon or chasing after Forest Gump. Her largest feat this weekend was eating pound cake off of a fork. Annabel does not like to be fed off of anything except her small purple spoon due to her oral aversion. Also, to take actual small bite of cake is very exciting to see. Hopefully she will continue to progress with her eating and one day be able to eat table food and not the baby jars that she has been on. We look forward to a good week of school and therapy. Hopefully this week she will get backon her routine schedule. Thanks everyone!!
