Lillian has been having a "few meltdowns" lately. My Lord. There are some of you that are lucky enough to never have had to experience this murder to your ears. She has the LOUDEST. cry. ever... The day she was born and I heard her cry I didn't think, "what a cute newborn baby cry." No, she sounds like a freaking firetruck. Then when you add her stubbornness with the fits it almost a nuclear distaster. She now just goes into her room on her own and shuts the door (most of the time). It helps keep the peace (or as much as a solid door can) between us all.
Now after all of that look at this happy face.
Not that she doesn't deserve a post all of her own for the first 3 months of her crying.
As for an update on Miss Cora. We were at Riley two days last week to get her breathing checked out. She sounds really rattly when she breathes and it concerned my doctor. So she just wanted to get it looked at so things could be ruled out. The first day she had a chest X-ray and a barium swallow. Both of which turned up normal. I took her back the next day for an bronchial scope. In the pictures it showed a lot of redness and inflammation from the back of her throat to the opening of her lungs. So it looks as if her GERD is creating enough irritation and swelling so that when she breathes it sounds funny. The good news is that this is nothing but good news. I just need to make sure I give her her medicine more often.
I loved this picture.
It captures their exact personalities. Josiah with his coat and boots on. (He only likes weather that is 73 degrees, partly sunny, and with no wind.) Lillian tough as nails sitting on a metal tractor bare butt. It wasn't warm enough to be naked, but it was cold enough for a snowsuit either.
We had a nice surprise visit from Granny K.
Lillian dressed in her Sunday best. She loves to wear dresses. She calls them her "twinkle twinkles" or her "ballerinas."
Denim and pearls
They are definitely two peas in a pod. Where one goes the other follows.

I thought my eardrum had burst last week when she yelled. After a few hours it stopped throbbing. I have never heard such a scream like Lillian's. Such a sweet little face and then the scream comes. Love her naked butt on the tractor. It's so "Lillian". Glad Jojo got his orange lego man.
