Funny story about our trip to Sam's today........It's a Saturday, so there were lots of samples throughout the store and Blake wanted to try them ALL! She loved the strawberry yogurt and whip cream (yes, I gave her some). KK got a cookie, and Blake tried her hardest to get it from her. She pulled at KK's arm, pulled her shirt, and even tried to leap into her lap to get that cookie. So, KK shoved it in her mouth before Blake could get it. After today I can say that Blake is ready to eat some big girl food!

Blake started having a runny nose and cough yesterday and later this afternoon I heard the "seal-like bark" while she was taking a nap. So, we visited the doctor and she's got the nasty croup again! She had the croup right after Christmas, but this case is definitely not as bad as the previous one. Oh, and she weighs 17lbs 11oz!
