Yucky!

It appears Blake is not over whatever it is he has. I wish I would have brought it up more with the Pediatrician on Tuesday, because I think we need to make another trip to the doctor :( Yesterday at Karen's Blake had "explosive" diarrhea. Yuck! Poor Karen! Last night Cal went out and bought Pedialite and lactose free formula. I think he seems to be a bit sensitive to milk products so thought we'd try the lactose free formula. So we fed Blake a very light supper and he was fine all night, then I fed him his normal breakfast (cereal) and he was fine and then I fed him lunch (pb toast and some banana) and he vomited. So I guess his stomach is still sensitive! Geez! I don't really understand why he has been okay some days and then not others. It's been going on since Friday. So after his nap this afternoon I might take him to my Dr. Hopefully he's feeling better for his party on Saturday!!

1 Year Pediatrician Appointment!

Today Blake had his 1 yr. appointment!! Everything went well. He weighs 20 lbs. 1 oz. (10th percentile), is 29 1/2" long (50th percentile), and his head circumference is in the 50th percentile too!! Dr. Radisic was happy with everything and said again how strong Blake is! He figures that he's very cautious, which is why he's not letting go and walking by himself yet! LOL! I suppose that could be!? We go back at 18 months. Blake also has an E.N.T. appointment on Friday to check the "holes" near his ears. We'll find out if he needs surgery on them or not. Dr. Radisic said he's had a few patients have the surgery and it's very minor, but still nobody wants their baby to have surgery :( But we'll do what is best of course! Cal took Friday off to come to the appointment and then has Monday off as well! This is my last 2 work day week - next week I start working 4 days a week. Yikes! Hopefully it will go well. We went to Cold Lake this weekend for my cousin's wedding and had a great time! It was nice to visit with everyone and see family we don't often see! Blake was sick to his stomach Friday and Saturday though. He must have caught the virus I had earlier in the week. So he was a bit out of sorts, but still pretty good! Karen said he seemed a bit off on Monday too, but today he's been eating more so I hope he's over it. Speaking of Karen, Blake seems to be less shy around other kids and I think it may have a bit to do with being at the day home. Today in the Dr.'s office he was so funny! He was walking around the room, hanging onto the chairs, and if someone was sitting on a chair he'd just use their knees and pass around them! Then he stopped at this one little girls chair and "talked" to her for a bit! It was so cute! She was probably 4 or so and pulled her knees up to her chin so he couldn't touch her! It was as if she was saying, "Oooooo... boys!" LOL! Kids are too funny! Saturday we have Blake's 1st Birthday Bash! There's a bit of preparing to be done ... and we haven't started! But we'll get it done! As I said before, Cal took Monday off so we will do something fun for Blake's birthday! We're thinking of going swimming or to Rundle Park. Last night we went for our first bike ride on our new bikes with Blake's new bike trailer. It was fun and Blake enjoyed himself! The weather has been gorgeous these past few days. I really hope it is here to stay :) We will let everyone know how the party and Blake's birthday goes!! Enjoy the weather!

Cal, Tracy & Blake
