growing like a weed

Cody has all of fridays off for December so it's really fun to have multiple days a week where we can do WHATEVER we want :)  For example, last night we went to see the musical peter pan (my parents have season tickets to TUTS and didn't want to go-thanks again guys!) and out to eat at cheese cake factory.  It was really good.  The musical was pretty cool to look at and amazing gymnastic stuff from cathy rigby (plays pan) up on wires and stuff...the music itself left a lot to be desired (only one or two catchy songs).  On the way home we just talked about musicals that we wanted to see haha....so I guess it was good cause it wet our appetites.

 Then today we went downtown to have lunch at one of the many great food trucks: Good Dog hot dog truck.  It was WAY good :)  There were two other trucks nearby one for desserts and the other for juice.

jake chillin while we ate:

Afterwards we walked over to the Rothko chapel that was nearby.  I dunno...I've heard of it and thought the idea was cool and all- a calm and tranquil place tho not overtly religious etc.  but...we walk in and the canvases up on the walls were just subtle shades of grey/black etc.  Shrug, I thought there would be a little more color than that....and I thought it was bigger than just one room but nope.  Shrug, whatever.  By that point I had a headache and was feeling kinda crappy so we didn't stay too long.  At least we went right? haha.  I like rothko's stuff generally but it was a let down for me.

it also felt way different cause the space was filled with chairs and a piano for some function tonight so i'm sure that changed the feel of the place.

So we're on the 3rd day of formula supplementing and Jake's rash is gone.  He has a lil eczema on his cheeks but that could have just been form the recent cold snap we've had.  But yeah, all of the rashes are gone and his eyes look good and he seems really happy.  I know it's crazy but I swear in the past few days I feel like he's gained at LEAST 1/2 a pound-maybe even a pound!  We can tell when we pick him up-he's just more solid and you can see it in his cheeks.  I'm glad that he's doing so much better and is thriving-it was totally worth it :)  Now we just need to try to give him the first brand that we gave him to see if the rash comes back and if not then we're good-not allergic to milk...must have been a virus etc, and if the rash does come back then I guess he's just allergic to that one brand...shrug, which I think is kinda weird cause they all seem the same but I guess we'll see ;)

We got him to laugh pretty good tonight-nothing can make you feel as good as hearing your kid giggle.  I can't remember if I've blogged since but he's figured out rolling over tummy to back and back to tummy.  He's growing up so fast! 

here you can sort of see the dark circle under his right eye-kinda puffy

his faint rash on his tummy-all gone now! We're soooo glad! Even if we can't use the cheap kirkland brand from costco- ANYTHING is better than having to buy expensive hypoallergenic formula. :)

found a new way for him to play with his antler ears-fits perfectly around his tummy and is infront of his face-who needs a fancy baby gym???
