Weighing In

I took Wade to the pediatrician for his 1 year well baby check today. He has officially doubled his birth weight, finally! It only took all year. He now weighs 20 lbs 2 oz (15%,with diaper on, lol) and is 30 inches (50%). Developemently, he is meeting his milestones but I need to teach him to clap. He is behind in his clapping skills. SHe was pleased with his walking.

There was one concern though. Most of you know that we have been dealing with a milk/soy allergy and allergy induced colitis. I was dairy and soy free for awhile since he is a nursing baby. I reintroduced dairy through me and no more allergic colitis, but he is having severe excema. Dr. K thinks his is too bad to be treated with hydrocortizone or even something from the pharmacy. We have been treating it with daily lotion and Payton's creme, but its not helping. She referred us to the pediatric allergist. I'll call tomorrow and make an appointment.

Other than that little bump, our boy is growing well and is very happy. He is an easy baby. I hope he stays easy now that he is a TODDLER!

The Cake

I love this little boy!

A Birthday in Pictures

A birthday in pictures! I guess since Wade is so mobile now all the pics are in his high chair. I didn't realize that until looking at what to post. Its kind of funny actually. Well, my baby is one! He loved all the attention on his day. He had a birthday donut for breakfast:






A yummy lunch:



And dinner at McDonalds!

Scrapping

I never thought I'd take a year off from scrapbooking, but I did. I'm back! Here are my 3 pages I've done since April 2007. I figure since Wade is one now I can sneak some creative time back in my schedule.

Its Your Birthday!

This week Wade turns one! I can't believe how fast the year has gone. I still think he should be a tiny baby, but he is walking and so much fun now. I love this stage, but I miss how little he was! Well actually, he was never very little, was he?

We are celebrating his birthday with Eli and Abby in about 2 weeks. Its going to be so fun.

Brandi made the invites. Aren't they cute?


Maybe cute, but so hard to get a good pic! Here are the outtakes! Enjoy!

Trying the video

I tried to upload this the other day and it didn't work. Here is my next attempt.

Walking

I can't believe my baby is almost one and a walker! This year went way to fast.

And, he is a mess maker too.

Brothers or cousins?

I was looking through my pictures for any that I might have of the babies together. Instead I found these pictures of Dane and Wes from last fall. I know they look alike, but I can really see it in these pics. We have handsome boys!

Now Copying another Sister

From Brandi's blog:
So on the Wilson side of the family there's this question... "Are you gonna they them on the floor together?"
That's because Jenny, Gina, and I all have babies born within 10 days of each other and every time we would get together we would lay them on the floor and take their picture to see how they are growing. This past weekend we were together and we saw that our babies are growing too fast! They are now Sitting next to each other, I am sure they will soon be STANDING! I can't believe it has almost been 1 year. Where has the time gone?
Here is the progress

We love these babies!

We really do love these babies! (Thanks Brandi for letting me copy you.

Shots

I hate having to vaccinate my kids. Yeah, I know technically I don't have to, I could refuse them all together. But we do vaccinate. Just on a delayed schedule. Its what works for our family.

Wade (at almost 11 months) just got his second round of shots today. See, we really do delay for quit awhile. We delay vaccines for a few reasons. One of them is that our insurance doesn't pay and we have to go to the free clinic. Its a hike and a half to get there and its always really crowded. Steve took Wade today though. Poor baby has been so cranky when he is awake. He is napping now though and its going on 4 hours. I better wake him or we will be up all night.

I'm just afraid to wake him. I don't want to hear him crying anymore today than he already did at lunch. Poor baby boy!
