Maya vs. Food

When Maya was 6 months and I started her on rice cereal. Well, we TRIED giving her rice cereal.  About an hour after she eats it she gets violently ill. And by violently ill I mean she is full on throwing up every 5 minutes for 5-6 hours. It is worse than any flu bug. She gets all lethargic and she get all gray/pale in color.
I wondered if she just had an allergy to the rice cereal so I tried oatmeal with her. The same thing happened. We also tried peas and carrots and the same thing happens. Any solid food of any sorts seems to do this to her even if she only has 1 bite.
All this has been over the last couple of months and there has been no change. It breaks my heart. We will see what the doctor says about it all.

Joshua and his PJs

Josh found his Toy Story jammers in the dirty clothes a few minutes ago and told Tyler he wanted to put them on. Ty said "No. Leave them there, Mom needs to wash them." Well Josh just came up to me with soaking wet PJs in his hands and told me that he wanted to wear his jammies and that he washed them. Smart boy! But now I have a flood in my bathroom that I have to go and clean up. :)

Throw him away

We at dinner at Tyler's parents house today. After dinner Tyler was throwing the garbage away and someone said "Hey wait! This mustard is 4 yrs old it needs to be thrown away." Emily then pipes up and says "Dad is like 30 yrs old so he should go in the garbage too.

Maya's 4 month checkup; Lots of visits to radiology

I took Maya in to the doctor for her 4 month check up on Wednesday. She is healthy and doing well the doctor was just concerned about a couple of things. First thing is her hips. It looks as though she might have hip displasia, meaning the ball of her hip isn't sitting in the socket quite right. So right after her appointment we went down to radiology and she had X-rays done on her hips. X-rays on babies aren't always definitive because their bones aren't hard enough to show everything on an x-ray but Mayas on Wednesday showed them enough to make them be concerned enough to have us go down to Shriners Children's hospital for ultra sounds on her hips. That appointment is scheduled for next Friday. 
The 2nd thing the doctor was concerned about is a small bump on Maya's head that I pointed out. It isn't over a suture line and it seems perfectly round. So we had to take her in for a CT scan on her head this morning. Poor little Bean has had her fair share of radiation this week.

Waiting for her CT scan.

I just got a call back from the doctor saying that Maya's CT scan was clean. WAHOO! (Enter sigh of relief here).

Maya found her toes

The past couple of days Maya has really taken an interest in her toes.  She is always grabbing on to them and trying to eat them. 

YUMMY!

I love watching little ones as they learn new and figure out new things.

Em's Loses Another Tooth

Em's lost another tooth. This time she was at school when she lost it. She thought it was super cool because she got to go to the office and get a little treasure box to put it in.

New Digs from Japan

Tyler brought the kiddos these cool robes home from his trip to Japan.
