Yippeee for me....

I am so proud of myself for figuring out how to put my own layout on this thing!! LOL Now I just need to figure out how to do lots of other cute stuff to this page.

Well, I am trying to figure out what to do with the whole Kylan and switching over to whole milk situation! When I started him out on it last week, I started him out with 6 oz of formula and 2 oz. of Lactaid whole milk (since he's lactose intolerant, just like me.) He seemed to be doing OK with that so Friday night, I did 4 oz of formula and 4 of whole milk. Well, starting Sunday, he was going to the bathroom 5 or 6 times and the same happened yesterday at the babysitters. Oh, and did I mention that he was waking up 4 or 5 times a night?? We just though that was due to him getting some more teeth in (which he has 7.) Well, I though that maybe I will just feed him straight formula last night to see how he did during the night and whala, he slept the whole night thru!! I figured he still might have that milk protein allergy like he had his first year of life. That's why he is on Alimentum (formula), one of the most expensive formulas. Alimentum only goes up to 12 months so what do I do now. I am just sitting here, waiting on the Dr. to call to give me some kind of direction on what I should do. Poor Kylan, why did he have to inherit that lovely trait from me?!?! :-(

On another note, we went out to Cedar Hill to watch Taylor's volleyball game and for Granna's birthday. It was a big day because we finally got Kylan to wear some shoes! WoooHooo!!! :-) It has been a beating trying to get him to wear shoes longer than a minute! I put them on his feet with no resistance from him and when we got to Cedar Hill, they were still on his feet. We went to go eat, with his shoes still on, and he decides he wants to eat some chicken. It's been a beating trying to get him to eat big boy food also!! It was just an all around good day yesterday! :-) Hopefully I can get some pictures of him doing his patty cake! He knows the whole thing and even when to "roll it up, roll it up". He's my precious little baby! :-)

Such a Bitter Sweet Day.....

Just to think, one year ago at 3:26 a.m., I had sooooo much emotion running through me as I sat there and waited for that first scream. It was so quiet and then all of the sudden, there it was! It was the first cry of my baby boy, Kylan! I cried because I was so happy that I had carried this little person for 39 weeks and he came out as healthy as could be. It had been such a long day but come to think of it, it really went by fast! Only a mother can really know what goes through you when you get to hold your baby for the first time and how much love you already have for this little person. The first year had many rough times but when I think back on it, I can't really remember what all the bad stuff was. The good out-weighs the bad and I just love watching my "Little-Man" grow up. I love to see his smiling face in the morning so much that Scott and I race to his room just so one of us gets the first glance of his smiling face when we turn on the light. I love to just go in his room after he's gone to bed and watch him sleep. We love to see how happy he is when he gets to play with his little toys. I love to watch him waddle around the house and walk on his knees. I love to see him reach milestones and see how happy he is because he did something new. As I say, it's so bittersweet because I want him to always stay my little baby but I also want him to have fun growing up and making memories!
Right after he was born....

Daddy and Kylan....

I don't wanna burp....

And this is my baby boy one year later....
I love this little boy more than life itself and it has been the best year ever!! Happy 1st birthday baby! :-)
