15 month update!

Kayden had his 15 month doctor appointment yesterday. He is growing.... but not very much! haha! He's still our little bitty skinny boy, but he is growing so that's all that matters. We got the run down on the gluten, since we have been adding it back in and we haven't noticed much of anything we decided to just keep giving him some and see how he handles it. The gluten testing is very invasive so they do not want to do it on small children unless it is absolutely necessary. He has been having weird diapers lately but I'm hoping that's just from maybe a little bug he has gotten and not because of the gluten. I haven't really been watching the amount he gets lately so I'm going to have to start being better at keeping a note of what he eats each day.
We got the lecture of continuing his vitamins. He refuses to take the iron drops with vitamins (poly-vi-sol) and therefore we stopped giving them to him. We use to be able to mix them in his formula bottles and he wouldn't notice but now that he no longer gets formula or bottles, we haven't been giving it to him. There is no way he will take it without mixing it into something (we've tried.... and it turned into him refusing to take ANY type of medicine because he thought it was all going to taste as bad as the iron drops). We tried mixing it in with his milk from his sippy cup and he could tell instantly that that wasn't right. She suggested trying to cut up gummy vitamins and see how he does with chewing and taking those. Hopefully those will work! With his weight, she really wants him to be taking some type of vitamin so we've got to figure something out!

The stats:
Length: 31 inches (50%tile) up 1 1/2 inches
Weight: 19.8 pounds (<5%tile......) up 1 pound and 4 ounces

Yes, at 15 months old... we still haven't hit the 20 pound mark. We are hoping to get there by 18 months... :)

It's been awhile!

It's been awhile since I have last posted! Things have just been absolutely crazy around here! We have finally finished at our old church and are settling into our new church which we absolutely LOVE! I was scared of making new friends and getting to know new people but it has been very easy and I am enjoying the new relationships God has brought into our life. They are simply wonderful!

Our house is moving a long. We got a picture yesterday that showed all of the siding is finished and they are moving on to the inside! We were able to look around the inside with all the framing up and it just seems so BIG! It's definitely much bigger than our house now so we are excited to finally have a place for everything. We are definitely counting down the days until we move!


Kayden was ADORABLE for his second Halloween. Since I got to pick him first Halloween costume, Nick decided that he got to pick his Halloween costume this year. He wanted to get fake tattoo sleeves and make him a rocker. I was leary about it, but it turned out absolutely ADORABLE!


Thanksgiving came and went with our usual craziness. One place to the next, but it was fun to spend an extra long weekend with my sweet boy. We really enjoyed ourselves and spent all our time together :) I really needed it.

We are currently looking for a daycare for Kayden when we move. It's been really hard on me and we have looked at one that I was very unhappy about. I keep telling myself that we will find a place.... but the 2 1/2 week dead line keeps creeping up with no place for him to go.

Christmas is next! We will hopefully be going to see Santa this week and just got our tree up yesterday. I'm one of those people who usually have the tree up the day after Thanksgiving but with our crazy busy lives, it just didn't happen this year! Kayden has also not been the best about the tree so it was probably for the better :)
