L had her echocardiogram done yesterday and did a great job. the most challenging part about the entire day was simply not letting her take a nap! she usually takes two naps before the time that her test was scheduled and she was so confused as to why she couldn't sleep. she was a little crabby and fussy, but for the most part, she played and was smiley. she did great with the nurse and the dr, and they kept saying how cute she was. she took the sedation medicine fairly well and fell asleep within five minutes (she seemed so relieved to finally get a nap!). the technician came in, did the test (which was fun to watch - i am always so fascinated by the technology and the things that can be looked at!) and then L got to sleep a little longer until we woke her up. she woke up very easily and was so ready for something to eat (she hadn't had a bottle for over 7 hours - and normally takes one every 3ish hours!). once we left the hospital, she fell asleep again in the car (big surprise) and slept like a rock for a few hours. we'll find out the results within the next few days, but i'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

L has another dr appt tomorrow, to check up on her solitary kidney. we haven't seen the urologist for a few months, so it'll be good to go in and make sure everything with her one little kidney is looking normal. L has been becoming more and more mobile. she scoots all over the floor, has been rocking back and forth on her hands and knees - and is going to be crawling in no time. still no teeth, but i keep thinking they are going to make an appearance any day now.

here are some photos from our mother's day. after church, we headed over to my uncle's house, where he made us all a lovely mother's day brunch. he is an awesome cook and made some delicious food! and then we sat around, feeling stuffed, and enjoyed each other's company! it was a very nice day!
