What an exhausting day.  Andi had her 1 year doctors appointment yesterday and got 4 shots and blood drawn.  She was up half the night crying and has been crying all day.  She’s just not feeling well from them.  I’ve been giving her baby Tylenol but that doesn’t seem to have helped much.  Poor girl.  I wish there was something I could do.  The doctor detected what he thinks is either a heart murmur or pulmonary stenosis and is referring her to a pediatric cardiologist.  Hopefully it is nothing.  I know I will worry about it for the next month until she sees the specialist and we find out for sure.  Bryan had a pretty promising interview.  It’s sounds like he was pretty much offered the job on the spot.  The best part is it’s in Appleton so he won’t have to spend 2 hours a day driving.  It is only 32 hours a week but he is still working on his RN licence so that will give him a little extra study time.  I guess there are always shifts he can pick up too.  It’s nice because they are paying him extra in lieu of health insurance which he already has through me.  Most places don’t do that.  Andi had a great birthday party and got tons of gifts.  Thank you everyone who came.  We hope you had a good time.  It was really nice having so many family and friends there.  It’s such a gorgeous day outside today.  Hopefully after Andi’s done with her nap she’ll feel better and we can get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.    First she has to stop crying and fall asleep.  We have lots of exciting plans for August.  Next weekend Pete is in demolition races at Winnebago County Fair and Sawyer will be having a birthday party.  We also have a Merline family reunion in Michigan and a camping trip to Peninsula State Park planned.  The summer is just flying by, except for today.  Andi is so much fun now.  She does a lot of furniture walking and loves to climb the steps and walk when we are holding her hands.  I think it will probably be a good month or so before she’s walking on her own.  We will be switching her to regular milk soon when her formula runs out.  She eats tons of stuff and throws the food she doesn’t like on the floor.  That’s been hard to get her to not do.  Thankfully we don’t have carpet.  She says mama dada kick and socks.  I think she tries to say Mona but it comes out mama.  Bryan took her to swimming lessons the last few weeks.  He said they went well and she really liked the water.  She was the youngest one in her class and the other kids understood to scoop the water and jump off the side of the pool and she was too young to do that stuff, so then he just had to stand in the water with her instead.  He couldn’t get any pictures because he had to be in the water holding her.  She also talks in a monster voice.  It’s hard to explain, but very funny to witness.  She says “Oh” in a high pitched voice to everything she sees and gets really excited and claps and cheers all the time.  Still only 4 teeth.  She likes to lounge, so if she’s in the stroller she has one or both of her legs up on the bar in front of her and she does the same in shopping carts.  She always has to have her legs up.   All in all our family is doing well and enjoying our summer.
