Lots of updates and HJ is 11 months old!!!!

Wow so I guess we've been sooo busy with summer that I havent even blogged in over a month. Im sorry. Anyways guess starting with Connor. We had a wonderful wonderful 4th of July. Connor had a great birthday. 1st we went to the lake and went swimming and boating and played at the park. Then we came home had a big cookout and swam here. Then we did the birthday party, he had a Cars 2 cake (again). He got lots of new clothes, a new bike, swim shorts, train table with lots of new trains, lego table with legos. a helmet and elbow and knee pads, and much more. He loved all his new gifts. At Jack's 10 month weigh in, Dr. Gainey wasnt happy with his weight gain as he had only gained 4oz. Since the allergy test to milk came back negative, he thought it was a milk intolerance and said to go ahead and slowly introduce milk into his diet. We did that and very soon after the baby was throwing up and was broke out from head to toe in a really bad rash, the same one that he had while we were breastfeeding as a newborn. The next day we had his appointment with the pediatric GI specialist. She was a very nice dr. and listened to our concerns and had an answer for everything. She said definately looked like milk allergy to her so do not give milk products. When he turns 1 she is putting him on a hypoallergenice special high calorie drink to help him gain weight and hopefully get him back on the charts. She also said he looked very healthy besides his weight but wanted to be 100% sure so she sent him over to greenville childrens hospital to test him for cystic fibrosis. As any mommy would I worried myself over routine tests LOL. We went to the hospital and he had a sweat test done and it wasnt bad at all. HJ got to see a big aquarium with tropical fish and also a fountain. He enjoyed it LOL. The next day I got the results back and they were NEGATIVE!!! I was so happy. So we were done with tests for now and he goes back to the pediatric GI specialist on Sept. 20th. At Jack's 11 month weigh in he had finally hit 15lbs and was 26.5 inches long. I was told hes a very smart and bright lil man. Dr. Gainey agreed with having him put on the hypoallergenic high calorie drink and staying away from all milk products. He is in 0/3 and 3/6 mos clothes, when not in cloth hes in a size 2 diaper, and he is in sizes 2 and some 3 shoes. He now has 8 teeth and is eating stage 3 foods, some table foods, and the gerber toddler meals. He is standing alone now and taking steps. He is almost walking!!! So hard to believe my tiny man is almost walking and turning a year old so soon! He is saying words and pointing at things. He is definately growing too fast for my liking. We have everything ready for both of his parties and I took him last week to have his pictures done. We got them back today and I will be sharing them on here really soon. We registered the big boys for school a couple weeks ago and got all their school supplies. Cant believe my Nick Nick is already starting Kindergarten and Connor is going into the 3rd grade! They are excited and ready for school to start. Also all 4 of the boys went to the dentist. This was Hayden Jack's very 1st trip and his teeth are perfect so are Gabes! Connor didnt need any work this time either. Now Dominick, it was discovered he had 8 cavities and also had an extra tooth in between his baby teeth and adult teeth that you cant see. So that has to come out. Sometime in september he has to be put to sleep to pull out his top front teeth and cut out that extra tooth and to have his cavities repaired :( I feel so bad for my lil man. But he's a tough boy shouldnt be too rough on him! I think thats all for now and Im going to be uploading all the photos really soon :)
