Things are looking up for us, Corey is done traveling for clinicals, for the time being!!! I finally got the guts to take Jack to the doctor and his ears were great, so we decided that he has been crying so much due to teething. Also, this is kind of a weird story, but when Jack quit breastfeeding I gave him cow's milk to wean him, and he was throwing it up and had bad diarrhea. So, I thought that I would be the perfect parent and feed him organic soy milk instead. He has been on soy milk for about two months and has been cranky with ear infections and even more severe diarrrhea. But, I didn't ever equate it with an allergy to soy milk until I was researching reasons for ear infections online and allergies came up. Come to find out, about as many people that are allergic to cow's milk are allergic to soy. So, to make a long story short, I started him back on cows milk and the first day I thought I had a different kid. It was AMAZING! I think he originally threw up the cow's milk because he was trying to transfer from breastmilk, or may have been sick. However, this past week has been much better, and he LOVEs real milk with lots of fat in it to help his brain grow!!! YEAH!
On February 19th, our Dad was gone studying for a test, and it was about nine thirty at night. I still hadn't managed to put the kids to bed yet and was running around trying to clean. I looked out the window and I couldn't believe that I was really seeing snow in Raleigh! I grabbed the camera and opened the door and got Adelynn on video in shock. We had given up on the idea of seeing snow this winter. In fact for the first part of winter all Addy could talk about was when would it snow and how bad she wanted to eat some. :) I just kept telling her she probably wouldn't see snow in Raleigh much, especially because it has been so warm here. Anyway, it snowed a tiny bit and it was all gone by the next morning, but we went outside and played in it for a minute and ate some snow. Adelynn, kept saying, "My dream came true", and "I prayed for this"! It is a minor thing, really. But, you have got to be grateful for the little things in life as well as the big, right?!?
Yes, she's in shorts and a coat.
Our first snow in Raleigh!
A multi-weather outfit, because after our "snow day", we had weather in the 70's that week too!
eight weeks in fayetteville is brutal. glad it's done.
ReplyDeleteHow sad is it that you have had as much snow as we have! Well, yesterday it finally snowed and we were able to make a snowman till it melted a few minutes later. Yeah for just a little snow.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Addie! I wish we had snow all the time too, but we rarely get any! :) I miss you guys and your cute kids!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the multi-weather outfit. Glad to hear Corey is done traveling so far for clinicals! And I know Jeff texted you, and I'll give you a formal thank-you card that will say it too, but that dinner you brought us was SO delicious. Thanks again!
