a LONG month with a short post

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, I know it's been a while.  This is a picture of East Canyon, because sometimes you just need to go for a drive, a very long drive.
  Bronson is an official door opener, counter top climber, dog food dumper, bath tub splasher, playground slider, furniture re-arranger, trampoline bouncer, mop water drinker, bike riding, choo-choo train loving, trouble making, little talking, super cute boy.  Have you ever taken a shower with your one year old fully clothed because you just didn't know what else to do with him and you really really needed to take a shower?  I didn't think so.  The other day Bronson had climbed into Levi's crib while I was changing Levi's diaper.  I said, Bronson get down please.  With little response I started counting, 1-2-3, to which Bronson replies, "tickle, tickle, tickle."  How do you get mad at that?  We love you Bronson.
Levi is a smiling, rolling, giggling, blue eyed teddy bear that will melt your heart faster than you can imagine.  Which only makes his late nights crying, tummy ache misery, 30 min napping, blow-outs up to his neck, and all day holding very very hard.  We have had 4 months of little luck when it comes to an upset tummy, trying foods, cutting back on foods, giving up dairy, with very little improvement.  Yesterday we started soy formula with a prayer that this will help Levi be the happy baby that he is.  I hate to stop nursing him because he is obviously a great nurser, but I've run out of rope to hold on to, so keep your fingers crossed.  Last night I took him to the doc, guess how much he weighs?  17.6, like I said little teddy bear. We love you Levi.

I love the "tickle, tickle, tickle" that is so cute. I love when they do that so I can calm down and not get mad. Little kids have a gift! It's fun to hear what a wild boy Bronson is. I hope Levi gets through his tummy troubles. Those are hard. It sounds like you are doing all you can. Good luck with soy.

Gotta love the boys. I'm sorry that Levi has been having tummy problems. Good thing he still weighs a lot though. My kids are super skinny with big cheeks. weird.

Oh, poor Levi...sad babies are the wortst...not the baby, just the sad part, hopefully soy will help! And, don't feel guilty about nursing...you've done awesome through all of this!
