She must be eating more

Maria had her first blow out of a diaper this morning. I don't want to dwell on the disgusting, but I view this as a positive sign. If she is making more poop then she must be getting more food and therefore must be putting on weight.

In less disgusting news, my brother an mom have come into town for Memorial weekend. Tony has been doing a great job as an uncle. He went out and got donuts and breakfast tacos for us this morning. Amelia and I get so fixated on taking care of Maria that we usually forget to take care of ourselves. Tony flew out from LA and has really helped us on what is his only vacation time.

Tony works at Dreamworks Animation as a technical director. He just finished up Shrek 4 and has rolled onto a new movie, which prevents him from being able to take much time off. We really appreciate him coming into town to see his niece.

Amelia is beginning to feel herself again. She got to go outside today and work in the yard. I am glad that she likes to working the flower beds because it is one of my least favorite things.
