We took a drive to the Waterloo outlet yesterday. On the way home, the kids were tired and hungry. So David asked for some of Liz's baby snack. As he was eating, Liz reached out her hand and asked him for it. It was really sweet to see David tried to pass her some snack, stretching his arm all the way. And Liz was doing just the same to get the food.
Liz apparently understands some Chinese. When I was talking to David one day and I mention the word 'Shui Jiao' (sleep), we caught Liz doing something funny. She went to the nearest blanket and put her head down as though she was going to sleep. It was just so funny.
It's finally getting warmer! After a few months of snow, we are so glad that we don't have to wear so much just to walk out of the door. I've been pretty stressed out and tired lately. So the warm weather really lightened up the heart. So yeah, I've been worried about Liz since last week. She has been getting hives on her face and body. Most likely she's allergic to some food. Sigh* I took her to the doctor and got her some antihistamine medicine. The medicine helped for 2 days and the hives showed up again! I hope it'll go away for good.
We drove down to Ithaca on Saturday. We were craving for the ice cream there. It was a long drive but it was fun. The air quality was so much better in Ithaca. We got some sun and fresh air. Time well spent.

I finally got tired of staying home (while James studied) and dragged everyone out for a short trip. So we decided to go to Rochester again. I wanted to let the kids play at the Strong Museum. David had been there before, so this was the first time for Liz. They were pretty good in the car. Liz slept on the way there and back, while David was just sleepy, quite unwilling to leave his toys and the TV behind. We got there in time for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The food was better this time and Liz ate a lot. She eats very well whenever we go out. She got plenty of distraction while I fed here. She finished the porridge I brought along. Then she ate the complimentary bread and banana (for the kids). Then she cried for my pasta. So yeah, she was pretty full. David barely ate his food. He was too excited to be there.
After lunch we headed to the Strong Museum. It wasn't as crowded as last time. But still, we had to park very far away. The kids just loved that place. David was as wild as before. He just took off on his own and we had to frantically look for him and get him back. Liz refused to sit on the stroller. So James and I had to take turn to hold her. It was a back breaking business! We all had fun nevertheless. We were wiser this time around and stayed for just 2.5 hours as opposed to 4 hours last time. That place was fun but also very overwhelming for us, the adults!
