Fun Afternoon...2 in a row

Let's do this in reverse...

This afternoon was so much fun! A sweet friend of mine, Jenny is an 'aspiring' photographer (she's already amazing!) and has been asking to do a photo shoot of Keaton for months and months. Well, tomorrow is the dreaded day - haircut day :( She wanted his 'wild man' look for the pictures so today had to be picture day! Thankfully it was a beautiful day (although, I'm sneezing my head off since we walked in the door! haha) We met a park and let Keaton go to town!

She got his picture of him walking and climbing (and falling and crying!), playing in a tunnel (and falling and crying) and on the swings, upside down, in his cloth diaper running around, playing with a dandelion (which he hated and kept throwing down!) and finally yawning and giving in...after an hour and 1/2!!! He did SO well (I thought so atleast!) for being there that long! He's napping (I never let him start a nap after 330pm...but I needed the rest too!)

We were also at the park yesterday. We were supposed to meet a friend but, kid's...naps...yeh :) Next week! We were not there for 90 minutes yesterday (other wise we wouldn't have been there for 90 today! haha) I feel so bad that as Keaton perfects his walking/running skills and starts to enjoy the park more, I can't be there because of the heat and my back!

Wednesday afternoon, after his dr's. appt, we got a phone call from one of the nurses at his office telling us his CBC (iron) was low and Dr. Dirk wanted him to be on iron supplements. He also wants us to come back in a month to recheck his CBC and make sure his iron is going up. I was so bummed. Keaton doesn't seem to mind the supplements, they're just a super pain to "schedule" ...
He cannot have them 1 hour before having dairy, eggs, whole wheat, blah blah blah...
He cannot have them 2 hours AFTER having dairy, eggs, whole wheat, blah blah blah...
He cannot have them 30 minutes prior to laying down

That makes it REALLY tough to schedule when he usually has dairy, whole wheat and all the other items mentioned at just about every meal! I still haven't figured out an exact schedule yet for the medication so he's only gotten it twice a day so far. This weekend I plan to sit down and try to figure it all out.

Stay tuned for pictures from the park after Jenny edits them! Thank you again Jenny!!! We had so much fun!
