Silly Burke

Burke is a climber. If there is something to climb up, on or in he will climb it. Right now we don't have any barstools at the kitchen island because I found him sitting up there with a knife. Really, he's driving me crazy! This is one of his new places to climb and hide.

 Burke also likes to push Carly's dolly stroller...and chase the dog.

 Last night I let Burke feed himself with a spoon for the first time. 

He ate it all, although I'm not sure how much actually made it into his mouth!

Here's the dog patiently waiting for food to fall.

 I think we need to work on our spoon feeding skills.

Sleepy Carly and daddy-

So cute!

Easter pictures and Carly's 3 year old pictures

Today I took the kids to the mall for Easter pictures and to do Carly's 3 year old pictures.

It started off rough. Carly didn't want to cooperate then Burke got fidgety.

I've been wanting to have pictures done for a while but keep putting it off until I loose a little more weight. I finally decided to get the kids done since they are growing so fast.

I think we got some really awesome pictures of the kids. It'll get better as they get older.

You didn't think I could only pick a few pictures did you?

My Burke

As much as I miss having Carly at home during the day I have really enjoyed spending time with Burke. He is a very funny and happy boy. He loves the personal attention that he gets from mommy. 

A few weeks ago Burke had his VCUG and 18 month shots. The VCUG sucked rocks. He was so mad and it was very hard to hear him cry and be so sad. But the good news is his kidney reflux is completely GONE!!! Then 2 days later he had 4 shots. I think it is safe to say that was not his favorite week. Burke is a BIG boy. His stats are:

27.11 lbs- 50-75th%

34 1/2 inches- 95-97th%

Today we had an appointment with his GI dr. (who is the best GI in the world)! Burke has been suffering with horrible constipation for the past couple months. It came out of the blue and we have struggled with trying to help him. For at least the next year he will be on a heavy dose of Miralax to help the poor guy poop. I also have to take him for some blood tests to check for an underlying issue (celiac disease) that could be causing this to come back. Let's hope everything turns out great!
