The pics are backwards starting Saturday and going back to Monday.
Spring Break summary:
Monday... walk with Chaos and Dad... bike ride... walk.... outside time.... a little shopping for a dish washer.... and dentist appointment for me (only one more appointment and i'll have my crown on and be done with the dentist for a while hopefully).. then first trip to the park for the week.
Tuesday... knee doctor for me... then quick trip home to make it to J's 15 month check up... 33 1/2 inches tall, a big head, and he had lost some weight due to his stomach issues, referred to an allerist, blood drawn for food allergies (results show he is allergic to Milk, Cheese, and Egg whites), to the grocery store to hunt for any food without milk or soy (not easy with such a picky eater)
Wednesday... I took Julian to the rodeo... everyone in Houston calls it the rodeo but it was actually just like going to a civic center with lots of booths and lots of food stands with a carvival outside and a huge stock show in the back of the building.. we did not attend the rodeo.. but julian did enjoy walking up and down the isles at the stock show looking at the steers and the pigs. Julian wasn't a huge fan of the petting zoo (neither was I)... there were a zillion people in there and a zillion goats all pushing people for food.. we did manage to find a couple babies in a corner by themselves and Julian actually got out of my arms to pet them and enjoyed it. There were pony rides but the line was a mile long and being someone who was around horses daily growning up, it is hard to imagine i would have to wait in a mile long line to let my kid ride a dang pony... we are just going to really have to make the best of our trips home with all the animals and horse rides... overall Julian and I were only there for about 2 hours and we left... another trip to the park with dad later when we got home
Thursday... I don't think we did anything... I think I cleaned a little and we did as little as possible.. oh yeah Thursday evening Carol and the boys came over and we went to the park for a little while and then back to our house for burgers and fun
Friday... dropped Julian off with his babysitter and it was back to the knee doc for an MRI for me... and then hurried back to get Julian to make it to his appointment with the Allergist... the allergist didn't have blood work results at the time so he did a back prick test and none of the food test reacted on his back.... I guess the blood work shows a more clear result and came back positive for the milk, cheese, and egg whites... after his appointment we met Carol and the boys at the mall for lunch and playing a the play yard at the mall
Saturday... Julian and I did a little shopping while daddy was at work and hung out inside for a change while it rained
Sunday... worked the nursery at church and then back home to get ready for work the next day.. and dad stayed with Julian while I got to go get a pedicure!! whew hew
I had a busy break but it was so great spending so much time with Julian. He is obsessed with being outside. He loves being in the back witih Chaos or in the front walking down the sidewalk or in the garage in my car or "shooting" the ball outside... he isn't that picky as long as he is OUTSIDE!! he will bring you his shoes and he knows if his shoes are on that mean he's on his way outside.
We are finding more and more things he can eat the do not have milk or soy or egg... Luckily they don't seem to be severe enough where they think it's impossible for him to grow out of them. They say usually by age 3 or 4 they can outgrow them. So say a prayer.
As for my knee it doesn't look like there is much hope. I still go back to talk to the doctor on the 12th of April to see the results of the MRI but over the phone it seems like my only option would be a very extensive surgery with a long recovery time and a surgery that's not really even gauranteed so looks like i'll be living with it ..
So here are a few pics of Julian during spring break this year. The first is when i tried on an outfit I had bought for him from Target. The outfit was very cute on the rack and cute on but it was VETOed and he will be wearing something else to church for Easter.
