Today, I took Jack to the doctor...again... to have his blood drawn to test for Celiac disease. We're pretty sure he has it and that's what's causing him to be uncomfortable, nauseated, malnourished, etc. It's pretty sad. I can't wait til he feels better. It took them foooorrrreeevveeerrr to get the blood out that they needed. Therefore, he was screaming. It was traumatizing for both of us. But we loved the new doctor and we think he will be a great fit for us.
Jack is loving school. He is almost walking and loves to "cruise" along couches, tables and whatever else he can find. He has also started fake crying and knows how to work mom and dad. He's going to be a strong willed child. I'm not sure when I'll have the time or energy to have the next one.
He has also become a very picky eater. The only things he'll eat right now are fruit, cheese, rice crackers, yogurt and sometimes meat. We gave him rice tonight and he frantically shoveled it out of his mouth like it was a mouth full of bugs or something. I'm sure it will be funny looking back but it's kind of a pain when you fix them a meal and they hate it! He was also being dramatic and gagging on little pieces of chicken. I think with his tummy hurting it affects his appetite.
Jack turns 1 in 2.5 weeks. I can't believe it! It has definitely been a challenging year but worth every bit. We love our little stinker!
