Izzy was kicked out of school for the first time yesterday and it was only his third day. He had some redness on his face that the daycare was worried about. So, they sent him home till he had a doctors note clearing his health. Mom wasn't worried because she assumed it was due to a food allergy. As it turns out he just has sensitive skin.

Izzy has a big day tomorrow. He will start daycare. Our top choice for daycare has a waiting list. So, he will be at this place until he can get into the other one. I'm gathering all the things that you have to provide because on top of the tuition you have to bring all his supplies (diapers, wipes, extra clothes, food, etc.). As the week ( Read more... )

After talking with our friends with kids we found that most had to let their kids cry to get them to sleep through the night. We also read a book that advocates this method and a book that does not advocate it. So, we broke down and tried the cry it out method ( Read more... )

Izzy used to sleep through the night every once in awhile, sometimes a few days at a time. Now, he hasn't slept through the night in over a month.

This usually results in him going to ( Read more... )

In fact it seems to be getting worse. Last night he woke every two hours. I tried just rocking him, rather than feeding him, since he shouldnt be hungry. The only thing that ( Read more... )

I think I have experienced true helplessness for the first time and this is coming from someone who is a bit of a control freak. Izzy has had a low grade fever and a runny nose for the last four days. I took him to the Dr. today to make sure that he didn't have an ear infection. His fever has gone away and the Dr. said it was probably due to his ( Read more... )

It is hard to believe that Izzy is six months old. Everyday he changes so much. His personality is really starting to show. He grabs for toys and transfers them from one hand to the other. He watches everything we do. He wants to hold and play with everything (drinks, sunglasses, paper, keyboards).He is rolling over like crazy and has a look ( Read more... )

Izzy's favorite noise to make right now is a high pitched screech. Please tell me this is going to be a short lived phase.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING....We are extremely grateful for an excellent year. We had two births, an awesome young boy and an amazing play.
