One Question...

If I were to ask you: if you could wake up anywhere, where would it be?

My answer is: in Peter's arms. I am not a cuddler when I sleep. I have to have my space, so to wake up in his arms would just be down right AWESOME!

Check out this website One Question for more responses.

Updates...As promised

  • Orion is getting HUGE! He weighs in at 27 lbs., 33 in. long. He is already into 2T clothes! I can't believe it!!!
  • He is now sayings words like: Cracker, Fire Truck, Bye, No, Done and Don't Touch (complete with him waving his finger as he says it).
  • Orion has not been interested in Cartoons or TV until his cousin introduced him to Thomas & Friends. Now anytime we turn on the XBOX he thinks we are turning on "Choo Choo". It's cute to see him so excited and pointing at the TV while make a "sssttt" sound!
  • Easter was spent with Peter's family. We had the typical Easter dinner of ham, but to change it up Peter cooked his ribs and as usual they were delish! Orion didn't know what to make of his basket that morning. With a little bit of coaxing he finally pulled out an egg, but once he saw the Thomas & Friends DVD it was over with!
  • This is what happens when you drop an iPhone on a cement floor. Yeah! I thought Peter was going to kill me!!!
  • Orion pooped in the potty! (I will spare you the vulgar picture, complete with googly eyes, that is now in our 365 album!)
  • We've switched Orion to Lactose Free Milk due to the fact that Soy Milk has Estrogens. Since Estrogen is a female hormone...well need i say more?
  • If you ask Orion if he is ready for nap/bedtime he will go and stand by his bedroom door and wait to go inside.
  • We've started on our spring cleaning. I've already taken 6 boxes to Salvation Army and I have another box ready to go!
  • And lastly, we go on vacation in 26 days! YAHOO!!!

Many Tears Later...

Let's start off with...Sunday night Peter & I took Orion to the ER.

About 2 months ago we started making the switch from formula to milk. At first we were mixing an ounce of milk in with his formula and gradually increasing it until he was drinking 1 ounce of formula with his milk. He was doing okay until we stopped with the formula all together!

He won't drink milk unless it is warm and only in his bottle. Won't even touch it in a cup! He's stopped sleeping through the night. He is waking up almost every 2-3 hours screaming like he is hurt and he is gassier then ever...poor guy :( Sunday night was the last straw, after 3 hours of him crying non-stop and of course me joining in due to frustration, we decided to take him in.

With that being said, our reason for the ER visit was because we were thinking that the milk is messing with his stomach. Come to find out he has the start of an ear infection in both ears! Well, I am so glad that we caught that but, I just don't think that is what is bothering him for the last month!!! Soooo after speaking with the Dr. he suggested that we try soy milk and at this point I am willing to trying anything!

Tonight will be the first night on soy milk. Let's see how the night goes.
