The Bauer Adventures: August 2011

It is already August! This has been the fastest summer ever. I also have been horrible about posting. So much has been happening. Where do I start? We had our 6 month follow up appointment with Warren's GI on July 12 and the dr completely changed his whole diet. Warren is now on 20-24 ounces of Pediasure and all solids. He also is finally on the growth charts for weight, he weighed 16lbs! He is in the 5th percentile so the goal with giving pediasure is to get him up too the 25th percentile. Pediasure is 30 calories/ounce and before the Neocate was 20 calories/ounce. He loves scrambled and fried eggs, watermelon, bananas, mac and cheese, avocado, cherrios, crackers with butter, ice cream, and anything with butter :-) Every day he gets better and better with textures and learning how to eat new things. We have his 15 month well baby appointment soon, so I am anxious to see how his weight is doing. I should mention that his throwing up has gotten so much better! I have started weaning him off of prevacid. He was on 1.5 solu-tabs per day and now he is down to only 1 solu-tab per day. All good things to report on the GI side of things for once :-)

Warren loves to crawl and is getting really fast at it! This kid goes everywhere! He absolutely loves being chased around the house. He will always go and hide somewhere and then laugh and giggle his way while you chase him. He is pulling himself to stand on everything. He will walk around the entire living room holding onto furniture now, its crazy how good he has gotten at it. His favorite toys seem to be cars or things that he can push a button and music plays. He loves playing peek a boo and just yesterday I caught him playing it with a picture of Bob. Then when I saw him I asked, "What are you doing?" he pointed to the picture and said, "da-da." He is the best kid ever! Playing with DVD's occupies his time fairly often as well as opening drawers and cabinets! This kid is getting into everything and he isn't even walking yet!

Bob had to go to Baltimore for 2 weeks for work. It was pretty tough when he was gone. Warren and I both thankfully survived. Warren sleeps in his crib 100% of the time now and sleeps all night long. He goes to bed around 9pm and sleeps until 6:30-7:30am. He takes 1-2 naps per day both around 1.5 hours each. He is working on 3 more teeth. 2 on the top and 1 on the bottom.

Warren went on his first airplane trip to Rhode Island, July 23-July 30. He did great! But I will have a separate post for that one. Other than that we are just doing the family thing, music in the park, dinner, walks around the park, trying to do something every day. Every morning, weather permitting, Warren and I go for a 2.5-3 mile walk, its a great way to start the day. Have I mentioned how much I love summer?!?!? We have some exciting things coming up but I definitely do not want to rush summer by so we are enjoying each day!
