Well, not so great today at Regan’s 6 month WCC. He was 13 lbs even at his 4 month WCC. So we are going in for a weight check in a month. (Didn’t I just finish going in for Kaylee’s monthly weight checks? Yup. Indeed I did. SIGH…) Last month our lovely pediatrician agreed that holding off on solids was a good idea due to a family history of food allergies. But clearly that plan is OUT. 11 oz in 2 months is NOT good. So in one month depending on his weight gain and reactions to different foods he may need some testing done. Our Doc. is being a bit more concerned with this issue since Kaylee has food allergies, and a cousin who is also seen by our Doc. just got an epinephrine pen because his food allergies are THAT severe. So although we waited to test Kaylee until she was 2, mister man may not be so lucky and get tested in a month. Regan is also to start up on Zyrtec. We are hoping that will help his eczema clear up. Otherwise he is a delightfully happy bundle of laughter and joy in our home. He is not as active as he should be because he is just so content to just be. Oh, and tonight when Jon gave him his very first feeding of rice cereal he LOVED it. Jon said he had 8-10 full baby spoonfuls of the stuff, and that was after I had nursed him.

Was the subject of an e-mail from my Mom. I just opened the e-mail and it informed me that we have been misspelling her title. I LOVE my Mom. She cracks me up. She is amazing, and OH SO FUNNY! It took her almost a year after Kaylee was born to pick her title. γιαγιά is Greek for Grandmother. She wants all her grandchildren (so far just the 2) to call her Grandma in a different language. Since Abeula was taken by her Mom she chose γιαγιά. So far Kaylee has it easy. She wants poor Regan to call her Babushka!

Which is Russian. Hmm. wonder what languages the future grandchildren will get landed with (thought bubble)…..

German: Oma (“Oh-mah”)
Chinese: Ama (“Ah-mah”)
Mandarin: Nainai
Finnish: Isoäiti
Arabic: Teta (tay-tuh)
Portuguese: Avó
Korean: Halmoni (“hal-muh-nee”)
Italian: Nonna
Bulgarian: Baba
Welsh: Mam-gu (Southern Welsh for Grandmother)
Nain(Northern Welsh for Grandmother)
Slovenian: Babica (bàbitsa)

Healing

Kaylee just had her surgical followup appointment this morning. She is healing up nicely. Still freaks out when we ask to see her belly, but that’s to be expected for a while. She has not mentioned that it hurts for the last several days. So we are pleased that she is likely pain free, or close to it. It’s amazing how fast children heal. My Dad and little sister had the same hernia repair in the same spot and it took them over a month to start feeling better. My Dad just couldn’t believe that when he saw her less than 24 hrs post surgery she was up and playing with her cousins. I was shocked also. I suppose I figured (even though Doc said otherwise) after seeing Dad and Sam go through the same that she’d be out of commission for longer than a day. We are so very happy and blessed that she is recovering so VERY fast.
