a (play) date

Leave a reply


During our morning walk a play date was planned. Kaylee looks forward to seeing Carter and his baby every morning on our walk. So having him come over to play was gravy. Ridiculous amounts of fun, and only a few small fits about sharing. (Kaylee loves her friends, but has a few toys that she has a hard time sharing.) Then after these two were done playing in the sprinklers and on the slide we (kind of sort of) watched Nemo with Nemo.


Then us Mom’s made some yummy pizza. It was SO lovely having so much fun this morning. Kaylee got good and worn out with all her hard playing. She is napping!!! Come and play ANY time Carter. Oh before she went down for a nap she decided she didn’t like the outfit I picked for her (rude!, hehe) and so she stripped it off and pick out and put on this number. Nice. I asked her to strike a pose so I could take a picture. This is what she did. Funny girl.

Random side notes: Kaylee did not as usual flip out and hide (curls up into the fetal position in the stroller and screams in terror) from the dogs that came near. She even walked passed some VERY nice puppies just holding my hand! She was saying the whole time we were passing the puppies, “it’s all right, we almost done. nice doggies. it’s all right.” I feel like we are FINALLY making progress in that (Kaylee begin o.k. around animals) area of life.

We took Regan in for a walk in weight check yesterday. It wasn’t good, it turned into a visit with the Doc. 🙁 And he has his 9 month WCC tomorrow. So I’ll do an update on him after he gets his shots and new measurements………

The trouble with Regan…..

(An oldie, but goodie picture of the children. Kaylee likes to climb in and entertain Regan while he waits for me to fetch him. She is so good at buying me a few minutes to finish up whatever. He loves when she climbs into his crib. He thinks it’s just ever so funny.)

We wish we knew the trouble with Regan. He is a mystery. The new diet cleared up his skin just beautifully. However he is still having chronic diarrhea. (8 months people!) Which means his bum is constantly sore, and worse that he is not absorbing nutrients. Last month when we took him in he weighed 14.7 lbs. Yesterday he weighed 14.4 lbs. NOT GOOD! So I now have the joy and pleasure of collecting stool samples to send off for testing. They can only do testing on solid BM’s so that means it will take several days (he rarely has solid BM’s) to fill up the very little vile to send to the lab. So ya, we have a bio hazard bag in the out fridge to keep the stools fresh. Awesome. My Friend Misty was laughing on our walk this morning because she knows I’m a bit of a germaphobe. And an added bonus of fun is that as soon as I do collect enough stools to fill the vile I am to stop breast feeding and switch to the special already partially digested hypo allergenic formula. I will be on very good terms with my pump. The Doctor wants me to keep up my supply in case Regan refuses to eat the formula, or in case the formula doesn’t work. If the formula doesn’t do all that is promised we will have to take Mister Man to a specialist to get his insides scoped and biopsied. NOT fun. So we have a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks to see where we stand, and what needs to happen next. Regan has NEVER liked pacifiers let alone bottles. This should be fun……. Meanwhile he is JUST so happy.

He was playing one minute, then he was passed out next to his toys. He is all boy. Already likes to scratch himself. hmmmmmmmm.

Josh and his friend Paul (a lovely fellow) came down to see some Shakespeare plays. They stayed at our home. It had been about a year since we last saw Unkie Jots. He and Regan met for the first time. I didn’t get a picture. 🙁 The children enjoyed their new playmates, and Jon and I enjoyed these two house guests. I am hoping they come back down this fall for the Shakespeare festival. I need a picture for Regan’s book. And we need to finish converting Paul to the glories of SciFi. hehehe. (There was a whole thing. Very amusing. But long to get into.) Here are some pictures I snapped while the boys were at a play.


Jon put Regan on the bike for the first time right before he headed out with Kaylee. You can see her waiting by the door with her bag of stuff.


Regan thought it was hilarious when he tipped over.

Happy week everyone…..
