Happy Birthday Jackson Paul
(A couple of days late... His birthday was Friday, June 24!)
Oh my little Jack Jack, happy birthday!
Every single person you ever meet, even strangers in the store, always comment on how smile-y of a baby you are! You never fail to give a huge, toothy grin on anyone who gives you a smile first, and you melt hearts! You were also known as the giver of baby fever for awhile; anyone who held you told me that you made them want another precious baby of their own! I think it was a combination of your smile, long eyelashes, and delicious chubby legs.
Oh my little Jack Jack, happy birthday!

One Year Old and Still Rear Facing!
On the eve of my Jack Jack's first birthday, I feel compelled to write a blog post about something near-and-dear to my heart: car seat safety. Call me a nerd but I have a lot of friends right now with babies who have just turned one or are about to turn one and I'm concerned about their safety! I'm too non-confrontational in real life so I'll just blog it, post it on facebook, and pray that each of my friends reads this and considers the importance of keeping their daughters and sons rear-facing.
I'm thinking about this right now because Jack had his one-year well-baby visit with our new pediatrician on Tuesday, and I was handed a printout on the care of one-year-olds. One of the first things written was that now that baby is one year and 20 pounds, he can be switched forward facing in his car seat. How silly and ignorant.
What is magical about 1 year and 20 pounds? Nothing. These babies are still developing their bodies, especially their spinal cords. Have you ever seen what happens to a baby in a car seat when a car has a crash? Please watch this, it's of crash test dummies and will take 30 seconds:
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so how many is a video worth?
Babies don't need to forward face. They don't need to see where you're going, their knees aren't going to get sore from being bent while rear-facing. It might be more convenient for Mom or Dad to see what Baby is doing, but I think we'd all agree that we'd rather our child be safe and be slightly inconvenienced! (Personally, it's of no inconvenience to me. We don't eat or drink in the car ever, and I can't think or a reason that I've ever needed to pull over because they've been rear facing.)
The AAP has changed their recommendations that all children should ride rear facing until age two or until the highest weight limit the seat allows. For many car seats, that's well over 30 lbs! We have Britax Marathon car seats, which is a 34 lb weight limit. Beth reached 34 lbs a little after she turned three years old, and that's when we switched her around. Luke is now 2 years 8 months and still happily rear facing! He's never known it any other way.
The CDC cites car accidents as the leading cause of death of children in America, and as parents we have it completely within our power to make sure our children are safely strapped in the car! That means not only rear facing our babies longer, but making sure straps are tight enough, chest clips are properly placed, seats are properly installed and are NOT expired, putting the handle in the right position, and that babies aren't buckled up wearing blankets or coats. Here's a good video detailing how to put your baby in a car seat:
If you have questions, find a certified passenger safety technician near you to check out the installation of your seat. If you live near me, I know of a nearby place that has checks once a month.
As you can see this is a very hot topic for me! Call me paranoid, call me a nerd, call me crazy. I am in good company. :-) Rear facing is just so much safer, there are no risks compared to so many benefits. It just kills me when I see parents turn their baby around on his or her first birthday! And yes, I usually try to bite my tongue when I see babies strapped improperly into infant carriers while I'm in public places, but if I've ever corrected you before (or if I do in the future), please know that it's in love. Because you are my friends and I care about you and your babies!
Here's another video with more information, more crash test footage, and cute babies. :-)
(I have a separate but related rant about putting toddlers into booster seats when they should still be in a five-point harness. I will save this for another time, but please consider the safety of toddlers and preschoolers in addition to the babies!)
Please, please, please. Please. I beg you, keep your baby rear facing in his or her car seat until the maximum weight or height your seat allows, and if it's a low weight limit (or you have a big young baby!) consider buying a new seat with a higher weight limit. You won't regret it, not once.

Punta Cana, D.R.
Ryan and I just got back from our 3-night trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! We left our house at 4:00 am on Thursday, June 9, flew to Atlanta for a layover, then arrived in PC after 3:00 local time. We had been planning this trip for quite awhile, and met up with our friends Pat and Katie (who live out-of-state now). They were supposed to arrive a few hours after us but wound up being delayed overnight in Miami, so Ryan and I had the first day and evening to ourselves to explore our all-inclusive resort, Dreams Palm Beach.
 |
| the airport was open-air. before we even got off the plane we could feel the HUMIDITY. it was insanely humid, my hair immediately poofed out and wouldn't stand to be straightened again! the airport was bustling with locals, offering taxis or help with the luggage. the temperature was probably in the mid-80s. |

Our Summer Plans
I think Ryan and I finally figured out what we are going to do this summer. We had wanted to sign the kids up for swim lessons or soccer or t-ball or something like that, but I don't think any of that is going to work out for a variety of reasons.
Instead, we're planning a "Summer of Fun" for our heard! We are coming up with a list of fun, different activities that we can do every weekend while Ryan is home and can participate. (I figured, if we were doing soccer again we'd be busy every Saturday morning for six weeks, surely we can do it on our own too, right?) So far we plan to make birdhouses, visit a real farm (I'd love for them to be able to milk a cow!), make canvas art for Ryan's office/ our schoolroom, and visit the small local airport (you can get very close to watching the planes take off and even meet the pilots). I need some more ideas, lol. We also plan to take Ryan to the Children's Museum with us as he's never gone with us before!
I don't know what we'll do about the pool and swimming. I don't feel comfortable taking all three kids to the pool by myself... Our neighborhood pool is free but the water is no shallower than three feet! Even the pools in the local community are too busy for me to have all three of mine safely contained. Maybe Ryan and I will "borrow" the neighbor's pool a few times, hehehe.
Anyone else have any fun plans for the summer? Good ideas for fun, out-of-the-ordinary projects for us?

Dear Beth,
Dear Beth,
Last night was your second-ever ballet production and I tried to document the entire experience so that, in the future, you will know how amazing you are.
This is the end of your second full year of ballet, and you're four years old. It's difficult for me to remember that when you started ballet, you were two years old and Luke wasn't even walking yet!

Another Doctor Appointment for Jack
My Jack Jack had another doctor appointment today, this time with a pediatric allergist. His "rash" had started coming back and the pediatric dermatologist recommended we go see the allergist!
The good news is I really feel good about this appointment. He listened to our history and agreed that it was urticaria, a fancy word for hives. (Yes, I've been reading a lot of Fancy Nancy these days, can you tell?) What he explained to me was the best way to treat the hives using potentially three receptor blockers. Since Zyrtec isn't helping him as it should be, we have to add in another medicine to try to break the cycle of his skin cells reproducing other hive-infected skin cells. Tomorrow he'll start on Zantac, which is for stomach acid but it will also do the job of blocking the second receptor. If it doesn't clear by Monday, we'll add a third medicine in- Singulair. Once he's cleared up he has to stay on the medicine for two weeks to give his skin a chance to clear up and start reproducing healthy skin cells.

A Long Weekend
 |
| The graduate and me. |
Friday afternoon we left for what seemed like a tour of Texas! We drove to my hometown for my brother's high school graduation and my Dad's 50th birthday party, and got too see many other friends and family along the way!
Saturday was the ceremony, Saturday afternoon/evening there was a party in honor of my brother, and Sunday after Mass we drove out to the hill country for my dad's birthday celebration. Sunday night we drove back, and Monday we left to come home with a pit stop in our college town to visit friends and so that I could have my follow-up appointment with my first client. We got home at 10:00 last night and crashed!
Busy busy busy, but so much fun and we all had a really wonderful weekend! I am so happy that we live close enough to visit my family on these special occasions! I am so blessed.

11 Months!
On his 11 month birthday, let the record show he took two steps alone. :-)
We've been tempting him to walk and he's soooo very close, and yesterday he actually took 2 or 3 steps unaided, several times. Today he might have done it once or twice. He's not ready to take off yet, but I have a feeling it will be soon!
The boy is still very passionate about life. I don't recall Beth or Luke being such little turkeys! Jack is insistent on his way, whether he wants a bite of what I'm eating, wants to crawl back to where I've just removed him from, or he wants the toy that big brother or big sister just snatched from him. In any case, he will holler and make his displeasure known!
He's still so smiley all of the time. And he still cuddles with me, which makes me very happy! And... he's sleeping through the night! He has been for a couple of weeks now, but he wakes up very early, usually at 6:15 am (sometimes earlier). We let him crawl around in bed with us or on the floor in our room, but lately I've just been having to get up with him because he's screeching or pulling on cords or causing destruction.
Have I mentioned he loves electrical cords and outlets? Or that he can crawl up the entire staircase? He eats more than Beth and Luke combined, nurses up a storm, has six teeth, and plays peek-a-boo with me. His favorite "game" is playing on the bed or on the sofa, he gets very silly and falls and rolls around and laughs. Over the past couple of days, I've also noticed that when I'm going to unbuckle him from his carseat, he's trying to push on the button to unbuckle himself. Silly little boy!

Baby and Doe
This morning we woke up to a baby deer curled up under the kid's slide. He is sooo tiny! We didn't see Mama until a few minutes later when she came wondering out of the woods, but she didn't seem too concerned that baby was napping undisturbed under the slide. After we came home from mass they were still out back, and at one point baby decided to get up and walk around the play structure a bit. His little legs were so wobbly! Mama came by again and baby got up and chased her down to nurse. Sounds about right. ;-) They wondered off into the empty lot next door, I'm certain that's where they still are because there's no other empty lots nearby. Needless to say we've kept Finley very close today!

Pretty Little Princess
We're not positive if she'll be doing ballet again in the fall. The past several months she's fussed about going to class, but once she gets there she always enjoys it. I'm not sure what I'll be up for, the studio we attend is a 30-minute drive and it's quite a bit of work to get us there with everything we need, chase the boys around for 45 minutes (although it'd be 60 minutes next year), then make it home right before dinner time. I love this studio though and didn't like the one closer to our home, so if she does choose ballet then we'd most likely stay there. But I don't know what else she'd do in the fall if she chooses not to do ballet!

Where I've Been..
I've been working hard, not hardly working. ;-)
I haven't posted too much recently for a few reasons. Reason one is that we've ditched our cable and our computer is now our television! We don't watch a lot of tv to begin with but when we do want to watch a show in the evening, we use the computer- which means I don't have access to my blog account.
Reason number two is I've been trying to cut back on my internet time. I've stopped reading a lot of the "mommy blogs" what I used to read because they were making me feel inferior about being a good mother and good housekeeper, despite the fact that these blogs are meant to make you feel like a better mom and housekeeper! Not me, I guess I'm odd like that.
Reason number three is because I now have another blog to maintain! My business as a doula is up and running, and I have another blog for that business. I try to post there a couple of times a week so it takes time away from this blog. I plan to keep that blog completely separate from this one though, so if you would like to know the address of that blog please email me privately. Also, if you are in the area and are in need of or know someone in need of a doula, please contact me!
Reason number four is because I am just SO busy. I don't know why but recently I've just felt like I do nothing but run around all day, serving and giving my every last ounce of energy to my family members. I've never run my own daycare but I sort of imagine it would feel like this!
This blog means so much to me because it's a detailed chronicle of our life. I haven't been great about keeping up baby books but my kids will pretty much have their life stories detailed in this blog! I definitely won't give this up!

Gluten-Free Girl
Miss Bethany has been gluten-free for over six months now! Friday we had a routine checkup with our ped GI. Since late September, our first visit with him, Beth has gained 3.5 lbs and grown 2 inches! If there were any doubts in her growth, in September, she was 47th percent for weight and 35th for height. Now, she's 54th percent for weight and 40th for height. The doctor said her growth is great but we'll actually see an even bigger change in the upcoming year, assuming she has no issues she'll go back to see him next May.

Mother's Day
Mother's day was just another quiet day spent at home this year! We played outside, cleaned out the garage, moved a (free!) new-to-us couch upstairs, and let the kids do their thing. Mommy also ran out to Target for a few items and a 1/2 price Frappacino. :-) I picked out a Gardenia plant as my Mother's Day plant (instead of flowers) and hope to plant it sometime after we get our fence in place. It's little but hopefully I can keep it alive!
On the Mend
Last week was a busy week.
Jack's rash started getting worse- much, much worse- on Monday. On Tuesday I had planned to take myself to the doctor because I was certain I had the flu, but instead I took Jack to the minor ER. I was truly afraid he was going to have some sort of anaphylactic reaction and stop breathing because his body was swollen. The ER doctor showed me a picture of a rash called Erythema Multiforme and said it would go away on its own. I declined bloodwork because I knew that we had a dermatologist appointment on Thursday and that he'd want to do bloodwork then.
Wednesday he started to look worse, but still he was acting pretty normally.
Thursday was the day of our appointment, and the first day he started acting sick. He had a slightly elevated temperature and "sick eyes" as we call them, was acting lethargic, and took a 3-hour morning nap! When we arrived at the dermatologist's office that afternoon he took one look at Jack and immediately told me that he should go to Texas Children's Hospital to see a pediatric dermatologist, who happened to be someone he'd gone to med school with. He talked to the other doctor and they decided to put him on 1/2 teaspoon of children's Zyrtec, to see if it would respond to that. (It didn't respond to Allergra, which is why we were sent to the dermatologist in the first place.) Within 30 minutes of that first dose of Zyrtec, he was starting to clear up! I'll mean, he still looked pretty bad, but you could definitely tell there had been a change.
Friday morning my mom and I headed downtown to TCH to meet with the pediatric dermatologist. Memories of Beth's biopsy flooded my memory as we entered the hospital and I remembered carrying my sick girl through those same halls.
The dermatologist was very nice, seemed very knowledgeable and very intelligent. I had asked so many friends to pray that we had a wise and compassionate doctor and I truly feel like those prayers were answered! We talked for quite awhile and she told me she had no doubt in her mind that his rash was due to a virus. My most hated phrase, our initial diagnosis! However, this time I had to believe her. She truly heard me out, gave me the opportunity to ask lots of questions (especially relating to food allergies), and agreed to do bloodwork for my peace of mind. (The bloodwork was all normal, I found out this afternoon).
I feel at peace now. Though his rash isn't completely gone yet, it looks much better thanks no doubt to the Zyrtec he takes daily. But I've prayed, I've asked others to pray, and I have to surrender. So for now we won't consult an allergist, and I will stop googling "baby red annular rash!"
In related news, Jack signed "more" today and I am sooo proud! I'm freaking out a little that his first birthday is already next month! Some days he seems so much like my baby, and other days I can't get over how old he seems. He's not too close to walking yet, since he's such a fast crawler I bet he thinks why bother? Ha!
