Just some updates

I feel like the kids are growing daily. It amazes me that we came to the beach with a small little baby and now she looks like a plump little girl. She pulled herself up the other day and I am anxiously awaiting for it to happen again. She wants to crawl so bad. I guess I should cherish the moments before crawling because once that happens all the gates need to be closed and she needs to be watched constantly. 

I am enjoying the beach a lot but I do miss my friends and our routine at home. I know it sound crazy. I LOVE the beach and  I am having such a great time as a family but some days I just miss the known.

The hubby and I really needed this or I really needed this. I needed to remember why I fell in love with him. We have been laughing and hanging out and smooching-all things that had not happened a lot in the past 7 months. I just did not have any energy at night after the kids went to sleep and basically I just wanted to be alone. So it has been great. We have date night every Tuesday night.

Max’s allergies are better. I am finally realizing what works and what does not. Basically he eats a very plain whole food diet which consists of beef, veal, lamb, rice, fruits, veggies and well that is about it. I have been experimenting making ice cream for him. It is tough but it is tougher when he has rashes on his face and genital, tantrums, and stops talking. I always know when he has a slight reaction because his mood changes instantly. Today I am making vanilla ice cream,  I will let you know how it goes. I made banana but he did not like the texture so I am sticking with basic vanilla. 

Sam is doing great. She is back to sleeping through the night. She sleeps 6:45 pm to 6 or 6:30 am. Not bad. She still refuses to eat and I am trusting her body. I am convinced that if I would have delayed Max’s food then maybe he wold have less allergies. her body just can’t tolerate food. Everything I give her, she has a reaction so for now, just formula.

Max’s speech is so good. he is adding words daily and it is so funny to hear what is on his mind. We are so proud of him. I know the food is directly related to his speech. Thank goodness we realized this.

We had family and then friends for an entire week and i think it was a lot for me. We had a great time with my folks, then my MIL, then friends from Europe but at the end I felt like I was empty. I think it was just having everyone back to back. I was kind of bitchy the last few days and I think I just need a really good run or some quiet time for myself. We have friends coming again this weekend but it is our acupuncturist, also godmother to our kids and her family, and she is bringing needles. YEAH I am going to have acupuncture. I am so damn excited. So next time I will not plan everyone back to back and do a better job taking care of myself.
