Regan James 12 months old

So Poor Mister Man had some fun shots at his WCC today. Other than that his appointment was great! Oh, Kaylee & Regan got flu shots too. Kaylee was SO excited to go to the Dr.’s (prizes) and was not pleased by that turn of events.

In the last two weeks Regan has gained 7 ounces!!!!! His B.V. is getting thicker and more like normal BM’s. We are SO happy/excited. He still is not really digesting the solids that he eats so we will see if Dr. K wants to still do the scope and biopsy to figure out why. Dr. M was very pleased with his overall health and improvement from our last visit with her. So YEA!

Today was fun because I get to compare his stats on his actual Birthday.

11/16/2010
Weight: 16 lbs 11 oz .20% (creeping closer to the 1%)
Height: 29.5 in 42%
Head: 17.5 in 7%

11/16/2009
Weight: 6 lbs 10 oz
Height: 18 in

It’s so nice to see that even with loosing weight he was able to gain 10 lbs this last year. And 11 inches in height. He is so amazing.

He is talking up a storm. His newest additions to his vocabulary:
Uh-Oh
TaDa!
a dun (all done)

He is real close to walking. Cruising along furniture. Walks while holding hands. Stands up in the middle of the room with no support to get up.

Eats the following solids:
sweet potatoes
potatoes
peas
green beans
butternut squash
carrots
bananas
rice
corn tortillas
kix
rice & corn chex
rice cakes
turkey
chicken
beef
tuna
pinto beans
black beans
And he does well and really likes a variety of seasonings (no salt yet) on his food. I am in LOVE with coconut oil as a butter substitute. So yummy, and very buttery tasting when melted. Try it!

This last year went scary fast. Hopefully this next year will be lots slower and we can just enjoy Regan without all the Dr. appointments. Because as much as we love all our Dr.’s we would LOVE to see them LOTS less.

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY to our littlest Snuggle Bug. We LOVE you SOOOoooo much!!!!!

….next year I’ll be dead.

(Kaylee was so very kind to blow my candles out for me.)

Abuela Cristina (in Spanish): “It was nothing. But this is the last year, because next year I’ll be dead.”
Me: “Promises, promises…” (give her a hug and kiss and tell her THANK YOU!)

This is the conversation I’ve had with my Abula for the last 11 or so years. It’s a lovely Birthday conversation really. Mom says she’s been saying she’s going to die next year since my Mom can remember. So as you can imagine it’s had to take her seriously.

Every year my Abuela and Mom make a feast for family and friends for my birthday dinner. It’s awesome! We have Pupusas. They are SO yummy. If you have never had them… well you are missing out big time.

Menu:
Pupusas (and all their fixins)
Blueberry pie
lemon pie
chocolate pie (for those who like that sort of thing)

We had my feast a day early so we could be extra lazy on Sunday and just drink in the conference talks. They were all so good this year. I feel like I get more out of the talks now that I’m a mama. I hope everyone had a lovely conference weekend.

A big thank you to everyone who came to help me eat!

Jon’s 28th Birthday!

Leave a reply

Jon had two parties this year. Which means I made two cakes. Most of you know that I DON’T BAKE. So two cakes was HUGE for me. And I’m pleased to say they turned out yummy. And to be honest it wasn’t REAL baking. He had Oreo pie on his actual b-day (Wed.), and Oreo ice cream cake for the bigger family b-day party that was the Sunday after.

Jon is laughing because as soon as he and Kaylee finished blowing out the candles she yelled,”mas happy to you!” Translation: she was ready to sing and blow out more candle.


We had dinner with my parents and Sam. We talked, laughed and watched a movie.

Can’t even express what this guy mean to us…. seriously can’t, too choked up….
