What we did this week...

We had a pretty laid back week. Ajay has been playing outside a lot since the weather has been so beautiful. Alex has been in a good mood for the most part. He still sleeps a lot during the day, but has also been letting me get a solid 3 hours of sleep at night. I would like more, of course, but it is better than what he was letting me get last week! We didn't have a play gym for Alex to play under, so our Parents As Teachers parent educator suggested we use a couple chairs to join some toys to for him to bat and kick at, so thats what I did! You can see he enjoyed it. Lisa, due in about 3 months, brought over a little gym for him to play under, so we'll use that for a few months, then when she has little Ellie Jane, we'll give it back. Alex LOVES it!
Alex went to an allergist this week and we discovered he's allergic to Milk (cow's), Eggs, Wheat, Cinnamon, Garlic, and dust mites. He's not allergic to oats, rice and peanuts. There are many other foods that we didnt' test for, so I'm on yet another diet to get down to a "base" level... try to get everything he's allergic to out of my system and his, then I'll start adding foods back in one at a time to see if he has a reaction. So right now I'm just eating oatmeal and peaches. Next I'll add in chicken, then rice, then broccoli, and so on. I've got 3 weeks of "add ins" planned out, then I'll go from there. It takes a lot out of me, but the bonus part is that I'm already 8lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight!!
Ajay is quite the budding little photographer. Auntie Morgan has the same type of camera as us and has spent some time with Ajay, teaching him how to turn it on, take a picture, and scroll through the pictures on the display screen. He loves it -- altho I have discovered some photos on the camera that were taken without permission, so we have to be sure the camera is well out of his reach!
I added two more lines to our clothes-line pole, and have sheets out drying, and will soon put Alex's diapers out there. Biju plans on mowing today, so I hope we don't get little grass clippings on the clothes!!
