Night night babies was the first game Reagan ever played. It makes me smile to have all my dish towels used as baby blankets.

Nothing like being buried in a sea of cookie cutters.

Every morning, Liam sits on the bathroom counter to brush his teeth. He using all 4 toothbrushes. If you don't give him all of them, he keeps saying "teeth" until you do! Like I said, he is obsessed. Definitely a dental future for him!

Food allergies

On a serious-ish note...

In April, Liam had a random bout of diarrhea and then some bloody diapers. We did some testing for viruses and then it seemed to resolve itself so we just kind of left it at a mystery. However, the doctor mentioned that formula could very well have been the cause so we switched brands. And like I said, it seemed to solve itself so we just forgot about it.

Well, at the end of October, he has another blood filled diaper. Which is, of course, the scariest thing to ever find during a diaper change. So I took him and the diaper to the doctor the next morning. The doctor tested it and confirmed it was blood (waste of time- you could clearly see it). Then said we should just "watch him" and see if it "continues". So I asked a million concerned mommy questions and got zero answers. So I left the office super irritated that no one seemed to care about what was happening with my baby. I decided to call a gi specialist myself. We had his appointment last week.

First, I loved the doctor we saw. The office was clean and the staff was very friendly. After chatting with us for a few minutes, the gi doctor said Liam is a classic case of a milk protein intolerance. He has all the symptoms (not sleeping well, slow weight gain, not maintaining his growth curve, picky eating, fussiness). So we are on a 2 week dairy free diet to see what happens.

We are on week one and it is FANTASTIC. Liam is so much happier and has been sleeping way better at night. He has been eating a ton! Which makes me even more mad at the pediatrician. Why didn't someone suggest this long ago?!?!?! My poor baby has had a belly ache that could have totally been prevented.

Now I am obsessed with the symptoms of a food allergies. Do you realize how many medical conditions (including ADD/ADHD) could actually be food allergies? This whole thing is just bringing my dormant hippie side closer to the surface...

If there was an award for an outdated and sucky blog- I would totally win! Between working, mommyhood, household duties... I guess something had to suffer. I suppose my blog is a good choice (although my laundry is pretty bad too!). I haven't posted in so long that I don't even know where I should begin...

- Tonight, while eating dinner, Reagan said "Daddy you are the best for making me these noodles." She is way too sweet and I just want to eat her up.

- Liam is a climber. A constant climber. He decided to start climbing the day after he turned one. Seriously, the next morning he climbed onto our kids table for the first time. Now, his favorite is to get on the kitchen chairs and then onto the table. You can not turn your back for a moment!

- Reagan is loving preschool and is supposed the "kindest and most caring kid in her class". Makes a mommy proud. But it also makes me wonder, have they ever met the 'real' Reaggie?!?

- Liam's vocabulary grows more every day. As of right now, he clearly says: teeth, cheese, kitty, Boone, GeeGee (Reagan), mom, dad, hi, stop, hot... I think there is more...

- Reagan loves to find things that match. We will be driving and she will say "That car matches my house." and other totally random combinations. But she is always right! Her little mind amazes me.

- Liam is OBSESSED with brushing his teeth. Seriously. OBSESSED. He brushes them at least 3 times a day and would carry his toothbrush everywhere. His favorite is to sit on the counter with the water running. He will put his brush under the faucet, brush his teeth, then spit. It is adorable. I think he is going to be a dentist.

Everyday I make the impossible wish that I wasn't so busy. I just wish life would slow down and I could have more hours in the day. Of course, that will never happen and time will only continue to speed by. So for now, I am just trying to enjoy every moment with my perfect little babies.
