Baseball

This is not really about Peter but rather Peter's parents. I am a Mets fan, having spent many summers in New York. Rob is a Cardinals fan, due to my mother in law used to visit and go to Cardinal games when she was growing up. Tonight's game is hard because we both want our teams to win. It is tight. We are going into the 8th inning and it is a 1:1 tie. I just so hope the Mets win!! Then maybe let the underdog Tiger's win just because they are the underdogs and have not been there for years. Luckily, Peter knows his true identity, a Mariner's fan 1st (Met's fan second, just don't tell his father).

GI Appt.

We had Peter's GI appt. yesterday. He was 23lbs. 6oz. and 31 inches long. The doc said that he believes that Peter is allergic to milk protein (this is a true allergy to milk not lactose intolerance). He is to have no milk products and a huge list of what that looks like on labels. The doc did tell us to try out soy again. We have an appt. with a nutrionist in 2 weeks and a follow appt. in 2 months. We are happy to have answers.

P.S.

Peter has his GI appointment at Mary Bridge tomorrow. We will see what they have to say. Hopefully I will have more to update Tuesday because I have a late night class tomorrow.

Trunk Strength

Many of you know that Peter has had some delays with his gross motor (moving around). Well, last Monday, he did something wonderful to show how strong he is getting. He got mad at Rob and threw himself on the ground and screamed at us. Once he got over his tantrum he rolled to his belly, pushed up into crawling, and sat himself up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is huge. This has been a major concern and the reason why we got a PT eval in August. We are very excited to see him progressing. This weekend, even though he was a little sick, he has been everywhere. He does not listen to the word no and goes EVERYWHERE. He loves tor cruise around the furniture, stand up and then plop himself down, and try to get into things. He is loving it. We are trying to be calm as he falls but he is getting a lot better. I guess we better finish baby proofing the house.

Peter and I went to the last Mariner's game of the season with Noel and Christy, Jane and Ted, and LeRyna (Rob's new teaching partner). Rob was home with a sprained knee. It was a fun game but very busy with a 13 month old.

On top of this, we have been having a fussy boy. We thought he was teething and that he was getting a new tooth on the bottow. Within two days, he had two new teeth on the bottom. What a surprise!!

Today we had a weight check for Peter because he really hasn't been gaining any weight. He was 22lbs. 9 oz. two weeks ago when he was sick. He was 23lbs. 15oz. today. I think it is because he suddenly started eating everything in sight this weekend. We did try Goat's Milk and I think it is a no go so we are going to try rice milk tomorrow. We will see what that brings. GI appt. in two weeks. I just want answers!!
