It seems that in the past few weeks we have perfected crawling very fast. Perhaps the uninterrupted sleep is giving my howler new found energy. I am noticing, though, that the more he can get around, the happier he seems to be.

However, as we delve into new foods, I am noticing the intestinal sensitivity trend beginning again. We will revisit the probiotics. But it does make me wonder if this is a major component also. I have finally found a chiropractor that I feel is very knowlegable in the holistic realm and we will be paying him a visit to discuss some options for this. In the meantime, we will try some rice milk to see if that works out, though it isn't much cheaper than formula if he drinks a lot of it. He has been insistent that he is done with the breast, much to my dismay. Our one year check up will be full of discussion.

We had intended to begin our modified vaccination schedule at the one year visit, but we will not be getting these if we can't straighten out the tummy as your intestines play a major role in your ability to build immunity. Many things to consider. Oh, if parenthood were only simpler

I can't believe my little howler is almost one, is sleeping through the night, and smiling the days away. I can remember when I thought it would never happen!!!
