Happy Late New Year!

Welcome to 2006! I cannot believe it's been over a year since I found out Kailer was joining our family... Wow....
Not long to type as Kai is in a bit of a grumpy mood this evening but if I don't update soon I'll forget all his new milestones!
Friday January 13th Kailer laughed his first real laughs!! We were laying in bed for the night and he was not wanting to go to sleep. He had slobbered all over his face and clothing (something that is very normal these days) so I grabbed a spit rag to wipe up the slobber and change his wet pj's and started wiping the spit up. When I wiped his chin and chest he laughed at me! It was great! Steven Kaeden and I all got to hear his first laugh together.
He's also started grasping things very well. He concentrates very hard on what he wants and then slowly he reaches for and grabs whatever it is and immediately brings it to his mouth. It's so cute to watch him learn new things!! He loves to chew on his bibs and spit rags the best but has a couple toys that keep him entertained for short periods of time. He still loves his swing the best and stays pretty content in there during the day. He hates tummy time and will have nothing to do with it, even if Mommy is laying by his side talking to him.
Tonight 1-25 Kailer learned to blow bubbles and was enjoying making noise and spitting allover himself. It was great.

At his Dr Appt on Monday he weighed 12lb8oz, up one oz from his WIC appt 2 weeks ago which is a bit concerning to me. He's been having some symptoms of a food allergy and I've started on an elimination diet. I started with peanuts on Monday and tomorrow I"ll start with Dairy. If I don't notice a difference in him I will then eliminate wheat. If I still don't notice a difference I'm not sure what we'll do. Dr wants to see him in 2 weeks to see how it's going and to get a weight check. This weekend at Tammy and Jared's house he had 3 diapers that were blood tinged which is not a good sign. I was really glad that the Dr took my concerns seriously finally! Between the mucusy poops, the blood in the poop, the excema, the gas, the "colic" I'm sure something is not right with my little guy... Not to mention the diarhea and poor weight gain so I sure hope we can pinpoint what I"m eating that's not agreeing with him!

I've started working for the season at H&R block and it's going ok. It's a nice break from the boys during the day but I sure miss them come afternoon time! It'll be nice to have a few paychecks of my own though :) Too bad Jannett is only available til Feb 19th :( I hope I can find someone to watch them until the season is over so I can get my bonus check! LOL My boss is retarded and doesn't make schedules!!! I go in when I want and leave when I want... Drives me insane but sure is nice when I"m ready to go home and just walk out and leave LOL

Well I should end this update for now as Kai is really one unhappy little man right now. I will try to get on here and update soon!!
