The diaper rash cronicles continues!

Yesterday we to poor JM into the doctors again (third time!!) for his persistent diaper rash that isn't going away. The doctor knew we were coming and had the city's best dermatologist there as well to help figure out what is going on. We found out a few things:
1. JM weighs 23 pounds!! Good, because I shouldn't be lifting anything over 25. Which is just slightly under our friend's 4 month old who is basically 25 pounds.
2. It is probably a strep infection. After 2 more medications and 14 days we should know for sure.
3. If it's not strep it's pin worms...EEEWWW! I am praying that it is strep! And we will deal with that another day!

After 3 oral and 2 topical doses of antibotics it already doesn't look as bad as it has. We are very hopeful this will finally be the end of this saga.

29 weeks today!!! Grow Stan Grow!! 2.5 pounds isn't near enough!!

Seth and I were just making dinner and we wanted to share a recipe that our family really enjoys!!! It is from our friend Anne and we are forever thankful!
Annie's Burritos:
Tortillas
Ground beef browned and seasoned to taste
Beans (we use refried, but you could totally use black or pinto)
Cheese
Green Chile Salsa (Anne and I both use 505 organics brand)

In a 9X11 or so pan I put the tortillas in. Then I put the ground beef, some beans, cheese and some green chile. Then I fold them up (I use a toothpick to hold them closed) And put a little more cheese and chile on top. Then into a 350 oven for 15-20 minutes. That's it!!! I love how easy it is, and that I *usually* have everything to make them, even when I need to get to the grocery.
So thanks again Anne for the recipe!!! Now, I'm off to eat it!

Over the weekend we tried finger painting for the first time! JM didn't really like the stuff between his fingers and is still too little not to put things in his mouth, which resulted in the above picture and a bath. We may just have to wait a few more months for paint!Here is a little post bath cuteness! He is kissing a rubber duck!

Doctor's appointment went great. Still measuring in the clear and even a little bigger than last time. Grammy Barb got to come and see her new grandson. I think she really liked it!! At least 2 more weeks of 'restricted movement' instead of bed rest works for me!!
Today was our first day back at my mom's group... JM did not have a good time. We may try it again is a couple of weeks, but if it doesn't go better, we may be done. :(
Yea for long naps!!!

Is nothing sacred?

Today while showering, JM emptied a box of panty liners into the toilet. He was very very proud of himself. I had to clean up water logged panty liners. All before 9 am. Thank goodness for nap time!
Doctor's appointment tomorrow! Hopefully no changes!! 8 weeks until no more meds!!!

On Saturday JM's birth class got together for their 1 year reunion. JM is the oldest by one week, and then they just kept coming after that until July. It was actually quite difficult to get 7 babies to stay in one place and look ahead for the picture. It was very fun to see how everyone's grown!!
The first CU football game was Sunday, and with special doctor's premission I was even allowed to attend! We took our second annual "Buff Family" picture and I think it turned out okay!
3 sista's hanging out at the game! Now we have a CSU fan. Aren't my sissys cute?
JM really liked dad's Buff's hat. Is anyone surprised?

JM got a hair cut (finally) on Tuesday. It didn't go well. Most of the hair was cut, but there are a few that could still use some attention. My normally mild manner little guy, was NOT happy to have it done. I'll post pictures once I "fix" it. We must be having a growing week, because JM's been taking a morning nap again. I was kind of liking the one nap a day schedule:( Hopefully it won't last! Love to all! K,S,JM, and Flat

A childless mother, minus the one in my tummy!

I'm childless, well kind of! Today JM is with Grammy in the morning and our friend Anne is taking him, and meeting Seth at the Zoo! What will I do with all my free time you ask? Probably sleep, sew and Blog. I though we could all use a few JM pictures to get us through the long weekend. I know they help me on tough days!

JM wearing our friend Ryan's shoes after a play date with his friend M. He grabbed her bum, but I can't blame him, she's pretty cute!


JM is REALLY into hats right now. Unfourtunetly anything on his head is now a hat. Including in this case a milk cup, or a banana like this morning. The picture is blurry because we were in the car!
JM and Grammy this morning before their walk. Of course JM is sporting a hat, even though he was still in his PJs.
