Sunday, 02 September 2012

The boys got to chose the first adventure of the summer. Wed, June 20, we hit Canobie Lake Park. Max is a huge fan of the big rides and can now ride all of them. Finally 48 inches. Liam isn't into the roller coasters but he did ride the turkish twist 7 times. Best quote of the day, "Mom, I rode it 6 times and didn't even puke!" We stopped him after the 7th figuring 100 degree heat and massive spinning just don't mix.

My son Liam asked me to share a picture of his Trashies display The funny part was Liam and Max discussing how posting this would make them famous. Max asked him why he wanted to be famous. He said he didn't really know why. He got the idea for posting it when we were googling trashie images for his Trashies display, and he saw some images of setups by other children.

Wednesday, 12 September 2007

Max had his 18 month doctors appointment this week and did great, per usual. His wheat issue is gone but he has some sensitivity to Corn. Easy enough to avoid though. Otherwise all foods are fine for him to enjoy. He weighs 25.3 LB (50%) and is 33 inches (70%.) He just had a little growth spurt and will be wearing 18 month pants this fall. Overall he is doing very well and his vocabulary is above average. He has a lot of words and the Doctor was very impressed by his ability to count to 2. Go Max!

Wednesday, 05 September 2007

Bob was home on Tuesday and we took the boys to the new indoor water park, Coco Key. They had a great time. The Bean was a little nervous, but he ended up going down a water slide, his first. Mackie of course followed. They also loved their first dip in a Hot Tub! Photos of boys at Coco Key

Summer Fun with Bean and Mackie

Saturday, 18 August 2007

Liam had his 3 year old doctors appointment last week. He did great! He weighs 37 LBS (90%) and is 39 inches (85%.) He is right on track developmentally. He did everything that the doctor asked him to, including drawing a circle, jumping on 1 foot and carrying on a conversation well. When asked what his favorite food was, he answered Grapes. Boy was I happy about that. I was dreading him saying gum drops or fruit snacks or some other junk food that I sometimes give him.

He starts Preschool on Sept. 5. He doesn't really understand what that means, but he does know that he gets a Scooby Doo backpack so he is excited about that at least. He and Max are taking Gymnastics again this year and swim lessons. More 3 year photos will be posted soon.

Three weekends back, we made a trip to Six Flags in Springfield to meet Andrea, Scott and the girls. Liam and Max had a great time visiting with their cousins.

Tuesday, 12 June 2007

Max had his 15 Month check up on June 5. He is growing well, up to 23.5 lbs and 32 inches. He finally made it to the 50th percentile for his weight and is up to 80th for his height. The doctor says he is doing great! AND he outgrew his wheat intolerance, so he has been eating everything and loving it! He started walking about a month ago and is starting to run like mad. Of course he is also aggravating Liam but what are little brothers for. We are going to update a whole lot of photos soon so keep a look out and see how much they are growing.

Monday, 11 June 2007

Here is a sampling of photos taken in May and of our extra long weekend trip to FL, sans the boys.

Bob, Crystal and Max went to Rome, NY for the Wedding of Scotty G and Andrea. Max also turned one on Feb. 24. Congratulations all around.

Wednesday, 14 March 2007

Max had his 1 year doctors appointment on March 6. He did well. He is 30.25 inches and 21.05 pounds. He is 67% for his height and a peanut at 25% for his weight. He is completely healthy and right on track. His mood has improved a lot lately as his teeth seem to be hurting him less. There is a molar or 2 back there now and a few on the bottom still pushing through.

As for his wheat intolerance/allergy, we have to wait another 4 months to retry wheat and see how he handles it. They ended up taking some blood but any testing they do now isn't going to be 100% accurate. So I'll discuss the next step with the Pedi at his 15 month appointment. For now he eats everything and anything he can get his hands on and is starting to drink milk from a cup. He is cruising the furniture and chairs too so I'm sure walking is soon in our future. We'll post some new photos soon.

Sunday, 04 March 2007

We had the wall removed between our kitchen and "fireplace room"... cool.

Sunday, 04 March 2007

He is doing very well, but still has this allergy issue. We go back to the GI on July 11. He had a slight fever on Saturday from the immunizations, but it went away quickly. We'll post updated photos soon of all the fun things we have done this summer.

Talk to you later.

Max Update: Crystal says, we saw a GI at Children's last week. Max definitely has an allergy so we will work on figuring it out. I have gone on more of an elimination diet - now dairy, soy and wheat free. We have Max's 4 month appointment next week and then back to the GI for a follow up on July 11. He weighs 15.10 lbs as of last week and is still sleeping like a champ. He is being baptized this weekend. We will add new photos next week. He also started to try and roll over this past week. I expect any time now he'll get there!

Photos of Max from weeks 11-13 and Liam

Friday, 26 May 2006

Max Update: Max is now 3 months and weighs 14.9 lbs. We had a follow up appointment with Dr. Chan this week and Max still shows signs of some sort of allergy. So we had blood taken to test to see if he is anemic or has any bleeding problems. Happily he is fine on both counts. The next step in figuring out what is making him so uncomfortable is taking him to see a Pediatric GI doctor on June 13. Dr. Chan recommended that we take him to Children's Hospital so that is what we are doing. He also recommended that I keep on my dairy/soy free diet for the time being, at least until we see the specialist. Overall Max is healthy and happy and sleeping consistently through the night.

I had to post a shot of max the sleeper! Max finally slept for 8 hours!!!! Monday night, May 8 - 10 weeks. Woo Hoo! I emptied my camera of other accumulated photos as well

Wednesday, 03 May 2006

Max had his 2 month appointment on Friday, April 29. He now weighs 13.5 lbs and is 23.5 inches long. He was diagnosed with an allergy so I am now on a diary and soy free diet. He was also diagnosed with Reflux and started Zantac to try to alleviate his pain. We are hoping he feels better soon. Max is a very happy boy when he doesn't have his digestive issues. He smiles and coos and even started to squeal. The poor kid has had a rough few weeks!

Max is now a month old. We had his doctors appointment on Friday the 24th and he weighed in at 9.6 pounds. He added 2 pounds to his weight in a month. He is completely healthy! We had a challenging 3rd week, but things seem to be getting better every day. He is sleeping well enough at night, at least one 4 hour stretch, so Mom is feeling better as well. Liam has been great with Max. We are thankful that he enjoys his brother thus far!

Some shots of Max visiting with his cousins

Friday, 10 March 2006

Update... Max is now 2 weeks old. As of Tuesday, he weighed 7.7 lbs and was 20.5 inches long. He has gained 9 ounces since leaving the hospital, and the doctor is very glad for that. He is getting more alert every day. He is even decent at night, usually going right back to sleep after nursing. We have been sleeping with him, but may try to move him into his bassinet soon as he is very noisy. Bob is going back to work on Monday so I'm a little nervous how the 3 of us will do, but we have a few activities planned so hopefully it'll be better than expected.

Thursday, 16 February 2006

People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.

[Christmas day addition: Its a boy!!!! ]

We decided to treat ourselves to a Christmas Suprise and have a 4D Ultrasound done of Baby Peanut. Besides these really cute and lifelike photos, the Technician has written the baby's gender in an envelope, to be opened on Christmas Morning. We are very excited. She couldn't tell us how big the baby is, but she suspects a "good size" as the cheeks are nice and full. There have been limited Krispy Kreme's this time around, so let's hope we don't have a repeat 10 Pounder.

Just some more baby pics

Wednesday, 18 August 2004

We are trying to get a good picture for the birth announcement... Trying to get that perfect photo is hard.... take a peek

Monday, 09 August 2004

Liam is sleeping, so I have a few moments... It has been a week since we went to the hospital... a lot of adjustment... Liam's day is 3 hours long. Liam feeds for about 40 minutes, then has some fussiness (crying unless held or entertained), then he sometimes sleeps. Repeat. We have been home from the hospital for 36 Liam days or almost 5 earth days. Since we are breastfeeding, there is no way to get more than 2 hours of sleep at a pop. Alas, he seems to rarely settle down after feeding... so we are getting nightly naps... we are sometimes tired, irritable, overwhelmed... and of course, always delighted to have little Liam...

We got some early baby pictures last week. This is Crystal's ultrasound from Thursday March 4th. They are a bit blury, I didn't have a scanner - so I used my digital camera.

January 15, 2004

In late January we got this clip of baby pea's heart beat. The doctor used a "Doppler" device to listen to the baby's heart beat. We think the baby's pulse is about 150 beats per minute.

November 23, 2003

Woo hoo!! On November 23, 2003 we get the first indication that things are going to be very different around here..... some photos taken at that time.
