Back to the Specialist

So Korbin was having about week and a half that was really rough. He was spitting up really bad through his nose and mouth and most of the day was spent screaming. I took him to his pediatrician and he checked him to make sure there was nothing causing him pain like an ear infection,hernia, or red throat but found nothing so he sent him back to GI. Well after I finally got in touch with them they got him in to see the dr a whole lot sooner. (receptionist said first appt available was in May) crazy! Well after seeing her she seems to think that Korbins reflux is starting to peak. ( praying that
Is the case) She was able to up one of his meds but he is totally maxed out on the other. She also had us try some rice cereal in his bottle 1-2 tsp. She seems to think that if we thicken his milk it would cut back on the spit up but if this seemed to make him worse then we were to stop immediately. I have put it in his bottle a couple of days and have not really seen that much of a difference in his spitting up. Still a lot of spitting up. We will go back in about a month and a half to see how he is doing. These past few months have been quite rough with him. Praying
that he starts to feel better soon!

5 months already!

Here I go again talking about how quickly he is growing up but I just can't help it. It is hard to believe that he is already 5 months old. Here is a few things this little guy has been up to this month.

•Is wearing a 3-6 month
• weighs 12lbs 9 0z
•Loves when his sister talks to him. It usually ends up in a big smile and a laugh.
•Still having quite a few acid reflux issues going back to the specialist soon.
•Trying out a sippy cup and seems to like it.
•Loves to sit in his high chair even though he can't have food yet (crazy old acid reflux)
• Loves to play in the floor
• Does not like for his Mommy to leave his sight.
•Has a smile that will just melt your heart. ( don't believe me just take a look at these pictures)
•Loves going for walks in his stroller.
•Gives his sister lots of kisses. (he just loves her to pieces and I a pretty sure that she loves him back)
•Went to Barnes and Noble for story time with Gavin and the Johnson boys.

The Start of Something Good

So my hubby and I came to a consensus that we needed to eat healthier and loose weight. Together we knew that we could encourage each other to eat the right things and exercise. Well we decided to try some Weight Watchers. Oh my this has been the best thing we have ever done. I have found an amazing website that has a tone of WW recipes! I have a few of the recipes so far and they have been delicious but so healthy! I love fixing all this new stuff it makes me feel like a chef : ) The website that we have been getting our recipes from is skinnytaste.com  This website is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! ( I know I already said that once but it really is! )

Monday night we had this recipe :

It was delicious!! And the best thing about it was Addyson loved it. She is pretty picky and she ate every last bite of her food that night!

Tonight we had Chicken Parmesean
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/04/baked-chicken-parmesan.html
It was also very good and again Addyson ate it up!

We are loving the healthy changes we have been making in our life. This website has helped me to find new recipes so we will not get burnt out on eating the same old stuff on our "healthy life change." I hate to call it a diet because I want us to keep this as our way of life. I want our children to see our healthy lifestyle and model by what we do. If  you want some yummy, but healthy recipes check out this website. You will not be dissappointed!

Oh yeah tomorrow night is Turkey Taco Soup : )

Lazy Day

So today was just one of the those lazy days. We had some super needed family time.  We played games and just sat around all day enjoying our handsome boys sweet smile and our big girl playing and singing. We played a match game with Addyson and she actually new how to play ! Finally!  We have been wanting to play games with her forever but it wasn't till now that she finally gets how to play them. I just love when we get to spend time together just doing the things that our kids want us today instead of rushing around and doing our "to-do list." Hope that everyone had a happy saturday. We sure did : )

* No pictures of our big girl, she was just not into the picture thing today!
