November Catch Up

November has gone by in a flash! It helps that we have been super busy! We play with our friends the Bastians all the time, and between Work, School and everything else our calendars are full. Maddie LOVES Q and likes to dress him up in her dress ups. She had put this outfit on all by herself. She was so proud of herself!

 

We went Ice Skating on one of Eric's days off. 

Q started walking on his birthday, and hasn't stopped since. I think he sometimes walks just to walk. He is never sitting down- he is always has something to do.  We also have taught him to go down the stairs. He has only fallen down then once, and after that he never had to be told to turn around again.

 

We tried a new lotion on Q for his dry skin and he had an allergic reaction to it. His skin turned red, he was having problems breathing and had hives all over. Poor kid. We rushed him to Urgent care, and luckily they gave him some medicine to stop the reaction. 

 

 

 Speaking of Allergies, we retested Q at Children's Hospital on his allergies this month. Instead of the back pricks we opted for the blood draw. Turns out on a scale of 1-100 his scored a 100 on eggs, and a 50 on Milk. So I guess he is still allergic to Milk and Eggs. We are trying to get creative on what to feed this kid!! 

 

 Starting to drink of a sippy cup! Yes I did bribe him with a little bit of Diet Coke. What can I say he is a kid after my own heart :) Once he started drinking from the cup though, I dumped it out and put grape juice in it. So no need to freak out.

 

For Thanksgiving we went to St. George this year. It was SO fun being in the sun and the warmth! I love seeing my cousins and both of my siblings came too!

 

These pictures kinda show Q's Personality. The picture above he has a Jenga piece in his mouth. He thought he was pretty funny. Also he decided that since he had his own table to sit at, he would put his feet up. We did tie him to his chair using a ribbon. We also didnt have a chair to feed him in at my moms house down there, so we were just feeding him on the counter. He decided he wanted to eat in the sink. Crazy kid.

 

 My cousin got a new puppy named Oliver and he LOVED Q. Quentin wasnt sure what to do, since he got licked all the time! Eventually I think he warmed up to him.

 

 We also tried to take those cute light pictures you see on pinterest. Unfortunately Q kept breaking them, so we had to stop the photo shoot to clean up all the glass pieces.
