Regan James 18 months


On the 5th we had another check up with Dr. K. (Regan’s G.I. doc.) It was a VERY good check up! Regan gained in two months about a pound! Which is huge for him. Dr. K. also said to go ahead and stop his meds. Which we were SO happy about. The pill Regan was fine with (kid is a pro at swallowing pills it’s pretty awesome), but his anti-inflammatory he HATED! (I mean we’d have to pin him down and force feed him the 4mls 2 times a day.) Dr. K also got rid of most of Regan’s medical labels! No more Failure to thrive, Malnourished, Malabsorption, Diarrhea, or Dermatitis (still has non food allergy related skin issues though)! He is down to just allergies, and lack of growth. So this last visit was AWESOME!!!!

He just got done with his 18 month well child check, and shots. Here are his newest Stats:

Weight: 19 lbs 4 oz 0%
Height: 31 inches 14%
Head: 18 1/4 14%

Dr. M (his pediatrician) was very pleased with his progress. Couldn’t ask for more out of her former mystery patient that to see him maintaining his weight, happy (although not so much during the visit. He screamed most of the time.) and healthier.

Regan is such a joy in our home. He loves to terrorize Kaylee, cuddle with Mama, and is ALL about Daddy time.

Regan’s vocabulary:
uh (up working on the “ph” part)
go go
bye-bye
lub oo (love you)
uh dun (all done)
no
weee
Mama
Daddy
Papa
Wesus (Jesus)
Bab (working on the “ushka” it’s hit and miss)
wub wub (rub rub for a wash cloth when done eating)
poop (let’s me know, as if I couldn’t smell it! haha)
iper (diaper when he wants a new one. so nice.)
Why? (screems this while being shot up at the docs. or calmly asks when I tell him to get off the table)
uh oh
yes
ba ba (bottle for a sippy of formula)
nuh nigh (night night)
mmm mmm (when requesting food/complimenting the chef)
Dry
tusy (tushie)
yea
ink (drink)
mo (more)
Linus (any of his blankets that he drags around)

There is more. I’ll have to add them as I think of/hear them. He is such a chatty little man.

This kid LOVES LOVES to eat. He will eat ANYTHING! Which can at times be a challenge.
He is a monkey climbing fool. Loves his bath time (We hear “bath bath” tons). Is all about the outdoors. Is fearless (mostly). Super chatty, and an amazing napper/sleeper (compared to Kaylee). Regan is getting so good at saying prayers. And recently did his first solo prayer the other night at dinner (SO SO awesome), and has been a praying fool since (we LOVE it!). He is just so much fun, and we cannot believe that he is a year and a half old and had his first time (he did SO awesome!) at nursery in church! We just LOVE our Regan SO much!

April 15th

So my Mom thought it would be awesome to spend an ENTIRE day hiking Bryce and Zion (it was free fee week!) while my sister Jack’ee and her boyfriend Jason came to visit. It was both TONS of fun, and completely exhausting. I was shocked at how well the children did. 5:30 am – 9:30 pm (long long day). Photos in no particular order.


There was SO much snow on our way to Bryce.

Jason and Jack’ee started a snowball fight with Kaylee. She totally schooled them with her mad snowball fighting skills. Look at Jack’ee’s face!


Kaylee contrary to her facial expressions LOVED being carried in the carrier.

Our last hike ended at the entrance to the Subway. There were all these cool looking rock towers. Jack’ee Jason and Kaylee made some before we left.

Easter

On Easter Sunday I fell in LOVE with the children’s outfits. And the sky was all cloudy and perfect. AND my parents were here with their nice Cannon Rebel. So I got myself some new family photos.

We drove ALL over Cedar and hit up tree different spots. Picking photos out of the bunch was WAY easy this year. I am SO excited!

I ordered the prints today and they will arrive just in time for Mother’s Day (It’s my annual gift from Jon and the children). YEA!

So here are the pictures that will be hanging in all their 11×14 glory in my living room.

Kaylee wanted the playground BAD! It was hard to hold on to her (little stinker!), but her wiggling was also making her and Regan laugh sooo……..

But then she gave me this beauty so all was forgiven. Then she ran off to play while we got some photos of Regan. We called it quits for the day when she started screaming from splitting her lip open (lots of blood).


We got some of Regan in the same tree (as above), but I just love his smile at our rock location, so this is the one I picked of him. Oh, I finally got him some suspenders. He wears them ALL. The. TIME. Going to get him more (gotta keep his pants up somehow)!

And all our sweet Mom’s/Grandma’s, don’t worry I ordered your copies as well. It is after all a Mother’s Day tradition now right? RIGHT.
