Happy Easter
Aubrie and Tyler's Easter photos...
We also started our bathroom reno this past weekend--tiles are off one wall and the floor, the old vanity and sink are gone and the new vanity and counter top are in. We are still waiting for our new faucets to come in, so there is no water running to the sinks, but hopefully soon :) Pictures to follow.

Mmmmm Poofs
Tyler's new favorite snack...he just needs to remember to take the pacifier out before the poofs go in :)

Random Stuff
Aubrie had swimming lessons today, which she loves. She made the choice to stop taking ballet, so she could take swimming. She thinks that she is Ariel, and loves to swim under water. She is in the big kid class, without a floatie pack. She is the only girl with four little boys, which being the little diva that she is, she loves.
Tyler is doing well. He can hold his own bottle or sippy. I on the other hand, hate formula, especially at 3 in the morning when there are no clean bottles! He is gaining weight and seems to be much happier now that he is not scratching all the time. We have also started taking him swimming, which he likes, but he still hates baths at home.

Tyler Update
Ty went to the doctor today for a weight check, just to make sure that he is back on track after being diagnosed with a milk allergy.
He gained 1 lb 8 oz in the last month...yay! We are in the big numbers now, 14 lbs 14 oz. All the way up to the second percentile for weight :). At least it is upward movement.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
A bit early, but we had pictures done today, so enjoy :)
As you can see, Tyler is doing much better now that he is off milk and milk related foods. He has been back to the dermatologist and been given a clean bill of health. We head back to the pediatrician next week to see if he has gained any weight in the last month...we are hoping for big numbers.
This picture seems to capture Aubrie's attitude perfectly! "Seriously, you want me to smile...whatever."

Busy Busy Busy
What a busy couple of weeks. Aubrie turned four last Thursday; where have the last four years gone? We went to Buffalo to celebrate with our friends and family. Aubrie had a Build-a-Bear party at the mall with most of her friends. Unfortunately Anna was sick and could not be there, but John did a great job filling in as one of the girls.
We then went to Grandma Lynda's for cake and ice cream. I made Aubrie a Princess Build-a-Bear cake, which took much longer than anticipated, but turned out beautiful, if I do say so myself.
Aubrie also got to celebrate at preschool on Tuesday since last week was vacation.
While Aubrie was enjoying the week, Tyler was having a much harder time of it. He turned six months on Valentines Day and went in for is 6 month check up. His hight is progressing well, but unfortunately he only gained 6 onces in the last two months, putting him in the first percentile for weight. He also has really bad eczema which we have not been able to get under control. Due to this combination of problems, the pediatrician decided to send us to some specialists. On Monday we went to the dermatologist, who has Ty on three different ointments. Today we went to the allergist. 17 pin pricks later, we now know Ty has a severe milk allergy. So we either need to switch him to soy formula or I need to cut all milk and milk related products out of my diet to continue to nurse him. We will also have to start carrying an epi-pen in case of an emergency. This could also explain why he throws up after every meal. The doctor is hopeful that he will out grow this allergy in a few years but until that time, he will be on a very strict diet. You would be really surprised at how many products contain some form of milk. Even many of the Stage 2 baby foods have some milk or milk products in them. On a good note, we know that Ty is not allergic to Barron or Bruce, so we can keep our pets :) I am optimistic that this information will help us solve his medical problems so he gains weight and start sleeping more than 3 hours at a time!
