Happy Easter everyone! We had a lovely and relaxing (if that is possible with a five-hour drive included) weekend visiting with my parents in Illinois. You won’t be surprised to hear they were thrilled to have their little people there.
The trips there and back were probably the best we’ve had yet. Instead of packing every [...]
The week started with Luke’s live yogurt test in the doctor’s office. The next morning, he threw up. I thought it was a fluke. He felt fine the rest of the morning, until he threw up again at lunch. By Thursday morning, Lydia and I were both down for the count, too. I will spare [...]
Luke is allergic to milk. This morning we took him to his pediatrician’s office, where he tried yogurt for the first time. About ten minutes after eating a few spoonfuls of yogurt, we started to see some hives. The first few showed up where the yogurt had touched his skin, which was just under his [...]
Saturday morning we celebrated my sweet boy turning one. His birthday isn’t until Wednesday, but Saturdays are the best days for parties. It was difficult choosing a theme for this party. With Lydia, I’ve always chosen a theme based on her interests. At the moment, Luke’s main interest is hair-pulling, but that’s nothing I want [...]
Some days I really think I must be crazy for wanting to move. Tuesday was one of those days. My helper neighbor girls came over and played with Lydia in the backyard. Before I knew it, they were organizing a leaf-jumping event. Brilliant.
My very cautious daughter wasn’t sure how to jump into a pile of [...]
Luke is almost one year old, so I’ve been thinking of introducing him to some kind of milk that doesn’t come from his mommy. I’m in no hurry to wean him (he is my baby, after all), but I want to make sure he has the nutrition he needs.
When we tried Lydia on cow’s milk [...]
Lukie has been having coughing fits for the last month or so. Often they begin when he is eating. Sometimes they last just a few minutes, and sometimes 30 minutes or more. We had planned to discuss this coughing with the doctor at Luke’s 12 month checkup next month.
Today right before his nap (actually not [...]
Lydia loves to drink milk. This is good, because she needs the calcium, protein, and fat is provides. This has also been hard on our grocery budget, since the goat’s milk she has been drinking costs $3.38 a quart, at six the rate of six quarts a week. (For some background info, see my posts [...]
Last week Keith made another of his trips to Minneapolis. He really doesn’t travel that much for his job, but this year he is being trained on some new software, so he is traveling much more than usual.
The week started off with a bang when Lydia grabbed some bread and peanut butter off my plate. [...]
After the hoopla of Lydia’s birthday party, I was not in a huge hurry to run out and find a Halloween costume for our sweet girl. Keith’s mom, aka Nana, asked me several times about what Lydia was going to be for Halloween, and finally decided to take matters into her own hands. She is [...]
