This year for Christmas my sister ordered Hudson a 3 month subscription to Kiwi Crate, such a great gift idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our first month's box focused on winter activities and last month's box was all about baking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We received our final box last night and it was a sports theme, Hudson had to get started right away on his project.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Monday January 19th we boarded a plane bright and early to head out to the sunshine state Florida! I was a little nervous about the flight with Mila since she is now older and a bit more mobile, but both kids did great. Hudson was ready to go as soon as we got on board, seat beat buckled, ready to depart.</div>

We spent 5 days at Clearwater Beach and both kids absolutely loved it! Mila was a little hesitant at first but once she warmed up she was loving the sand and ocean. Both kids had a great time running back and forth between the water and the sand area!</div>

Love these two! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been so fun watching them interact, especially these last few weeks as they are really starting to play together. Hudson loves to sit on our stairs and read to Mila or they chase each other up and down the hall. The new thing is she will "push" him on the train. He is such a good big brother to her and she totally adores him!</div>

Sunday was the perfect day for a little Christmas baking!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the morning we made the trip over to the Northfield Cub to pick up some gluten free sugar cookie mix as well as frosting and sprinkles to decorate. Hudson also needed to pick up some carrots for the reindeer :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before nap we mixed up the cookie dough and went to work with our cookie cutters! While the kids were napping we let the cookies cool so they would be ready to decorate. As soon as they woke up we got busy decorating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Such a great experience! When we arrived back at the train station they had goodie bags for the kids as well as hot chocolate and cookies. Unfortunately Justin was unable to go as he was in class all weekend but we will for sure do this again next year :)</div>

Santa then comes around to each table and just prior to him keeping a volunteer asks for the children's name. Hudson was a little unsure but he did sit on his lap and tell him that he wanted a tractor with a trailer (of course!).</div>

I can't believe another year is almost over! Time is just flying by and it seems to go faster with two kids to keep us occupied :) We are busy at our house getting ready for Christmas and all the festivities that go with it. This Sunday we will be making our annual trip to the MN Zoo for Snack with Santa. We also need to take our family pictures so I can get our holiday cards ordered and mailed. So much to do :)</div>

This little man is 4 and a half already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hudson has been busy this year with preschool! He is in the older preschool room at daycare with Ms. Bobbi and just loves it. He has made some really great new friends and he loves to tell us all about his day. He also started at Hand-in-Hand preschool, going Tuesday and Thursday each week with Ms. Angie. It is amazing to see how much he has learned over the last 5 months. He is recognizing letters and numbers. He can tell you what certain words start with. He is able to write his own name. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He still loves his construction equipment and tractors. He is also really into the LEGO sets, especially the City collection. This year he wants to be outside all the time. Whenever shoveling is needed, he is usually out there mowing the snow :)</div>

Miss Mila is now 16 months, she is no longer my baby :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently she is still in the infant room at daycare but they will slowly start transitioning her to the toddler room starting next week. Though I am sad about this, she is definitely ready to hang out with the big kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She definitely keeps us on our toes. She loves to be independent and do things by herself, which can create a bit of a mess when it comes to eating. She is starting to talk more and she loves to make animal sounds when we sing Old McDonald has a Farm. She still loves music and dancing. She is a busy little girl, constantly on the move!</div>

I was so excited about Halloween this year as Hudson had such a blast trick or treating last year. We started talking about costumes in early September and he wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I was hoping to find a costume at the annual kids sale as I have in year's past. Unfortunately there were no TMNT costumes but I did find a Buzz Lightyear Costume he was really excited about. As for Mila, we were able to borrow a little owl costume from our good friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday morning we put on our Halloween outfits with our costumes packed for daycare. I took a few quick pictures on my phone, figuring I would be able to get some better shots on the camera later.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Off to daycare they went with their costumes in tow. I picked them up after work and was excited to hear about their day. Come to find out neither kid wanted to wear their costume for the Halloween party......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then headed up to my parent's place with plans to head to the MN Zoo at 5 for trick or treating, followed by pizza for dinner before hitting the neighborhood for more trick or treating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well Hudson decided he didn't want to go trick or treating and he would wear his Buzz costume when he is 5...... As for Mila, every time she saw her costume she started crying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hoping next year we are a little more successful in celebrating Halloween :)</div>

Friday we made the trip down to Byron, MN to check out Tweite's Family Farm. They have all sorts of activities such as a Theme park, Enchanted Forest, Wagon ride, etc. Since the weather was a little on the cooler side, we decided to just head out to the pumpkin patch. They have a great deal where you can buy an pumpkin from the patch for only $4!!!</div>

What a fun day at the pumpkin patch. Hard to believe that last year on this same day it was 70's and sunny and Mila was sleeping away in the Moby Wrap. What a difference a year makes! Looking forward to carving our pumpkins!</div>

Tomorrow Miss Mila will be having surgery for another set of ear tubes and possible removal of her adenoids. We found out about a month ago that the right tube had already fallen out, didn't even last 3 months...... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since winter is approaching, our ENT is being proactive by replacing the tubes instead of waiting to see if and when she has an ear infection. At the time of the surgery, they will also take a look at her adenoids and if they seem large they will remove them. Mila has had a runny nose on and off most of the time and she also has some other symptoms that indicate enlarged adenoids. Little nervous about surgery this time as Hudson took awhile to bounce back when he had his two years ago. Hoping for a quick recovery from our little princess!</div>

This past weekend we made the trip up to Duluth with our great friends the Shermans & Wenzels. We arrived Friday afternoon and enjoyed a little sunshine at the beach before heading out to dinner then back to our hotel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday was a busy but fun day. Started out the morning with a trip to Superior Zoo to check out some animals and let the kids run!</div>

From there we decided to make the trek up to Gooseberry Falls in hopes that the kids would nap. In true fashion, Hudson didn't sleep at all and Mila fell asleep once we arrived at the park. We still made the best of it checking out the waterfalls.</div>

What a first year this has been! Hard to believe that one year ago this morning, I was headed to Mayo Clinic for my scheduled c-section :)</div>

It is so hard for me to believe that Mila will already be 1 next week :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year has absolutely flown by! I feel like her first year went by so much faster than Hudson's but that is probably because we are so much more busier with the two of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mila has learned some exciting things just this week. She is now standing for longer periods of time all by herself. Monday she kept standing up and she looked so proud of herself. She is cruising all over the furniture and even moving from one piece to the next. She loves to walk around the house now holding on to your fingers. I have a feeling she will be walking any day now, yikes!</div>

Since most of June was a washout here in MN, literally with all of the rain, we have been trying to take advantage of the nice days in July with visits to the pool! So far we have been to the Northfield pool twice and we were able to check out the Como Pool last Thursday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of the kids are fish when it comes to water! Mila loves crawling around in the pool and playing with the water geysers. Hudson has become much more adventurous this year, going out to where the water is up to his chin! At the Como Pool he absolutely loved going down the slide, both with me and by himself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some photos from our fun pool adventures!</div>

These were taken at Como Pool. You can see some of the slides in the background, Hudson loved going down the big slide that can fit 4 people across. Such a fun place!<br />
<br />
The rest of these were taken at Northfield pool. We love to come later afternoon to swim and then enjoy a picnic dinner!<br />

We started our 4th of July festivities once again with the Cannon Falls Parade! Our group definitely grew in size this year. Not only did the Porter family join us once again, but we were also joined by the Shermans, Wenzels, Great-Grandma Ward, and the Arvig Family.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is amazing to see how much my baby boy has grown up this past year. He no longer looks like a baby boy, which makes me a little sad. He is such a smart little guy and picks up on almost everything. He also has an amazing memory, which isn't always good for us ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hudson also has some pretty good sayings.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"My feet are sprinkling" - in reference to his feet or legs falling asleep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"That's dangerous, only big boys can play with it" - in reference to any toy he doesn't want to share with Mila</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Mom I need that because........" - trying to justify every toy he wants, he has some pretty good reasons too</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's okay sweetheart" - while rubbing her head when Mila is crying or upset about something</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Look at my muscles"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hard to believe my baby girl is already 11 months! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a busy month for the little princess. Here are some updates on Miss Mila....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Started out the month with surgery, she had ear tubes placed on June 6th. In general she did really well with the surgery and recovery. Though it was not the magic pill to help with her sleep :( </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">2. Hudson & her both started at a new "school" on June 11th. So far it has been a really good change and easy transition for her. I think she enjoys the walks they take outside</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">3. Sleep, still working on that.... Night time is still pretty sporadic for her. She wakes up anywhere from two to four times. Naps have gotten a little better. She usually takes a mid-morning and mid-afternoon nap. Maybe next month the sleep will get better.......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">4. We were able to try a couple new foods this month. She enjoys the Beech-nut pear with blueberries but isn't too sure of real blueberries yet. She usually just squishes them and plays with them. She also passed the Beech-nut banana, orange, pineapple. Which is great as they also have a sweet potato, orange, pineapple that I can add into our rotation. I had just started her lamb trial Friday and was hoping to get that done this weekend but then she was hit with the stomach flu. I will re-trial the lamb starting Thursday. Hopefully it's a pass so we can get some protein in her :) After that I think we will try egg.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">5. She is a bookworm! She loves to look at books and have you read to her :) Here she is enjoying one of our favorite color books.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
6. Milestones this month..... crawling all over the place! She can get from point A to point B pretty fast. She also loves to pull herself up to stand, especially in the bathtub, Yikes! Recently she has started cruising around the furniture and taking steps with assistance. We will definitely be in trouble once she starts walking as she loves to get into everything!<br />

It is so fun watching the relationship between Hudson & Mila grow. Hudson is so sweet with his baby sister and loves to help take care of her. Mila absolutely adores her big brother and tolerates almost anything he does to her. Here are some recent pictures of the two of them....</div>

Last week was a big week for Hudson & Mila, they both started at a new "school"! They are now attending "school" at Early Ventures in Northfield, right by my work. It has been an exciting and positive change for the both of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hudson is in the early preschool classroom and so far he is doing great! He loves his new teacher, Miss Tami, and has made some new friends as well. There are all sorts of new toys in his classroom, which has definitely kept him busy. They have been busy playing outside, taking walks, and doing all sorts of crafts. This week they are focusing on bugs! Come fall, Hudson will also be attending preschool two days a week at his new school in a classroom upstairs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mila is in the infant room and has adjusted really well to her new environment. I was a little worried about the transition as they would not allow her to have her blanket in her crib. She has slept with one since she was 3 months so I knew that would not go well. Since she is almost one, they are letting her nap on a cot with her blanket and she has taken some great naps so far :) She also loves that they take walks outside when it's nice to get some fresh air!</div>

One thing I am really excited about is they are piloting a program called Precioustatus. This app send me updates throughout the day about both of them and even pictures that are taken! It's a nice way for me to keep track of their day even though I am not able to be with them. Another perk about them being so close to my work, Hudson & I were able to have a lunch date yesterday :)</div>

I am so relieved that this transition went so well as my stomach was definitely in knots the weeks leading up to their first day. So far we have been really happy with the new "school" and how both kids are loving it!</div>

Before Mila, I had never heard of either of these two things which is a little odd considering I am in the medical field. Over these past months, these two abbreviations have become a big part of our lives. Starting at two weeks of age, I noticed that Mila had a lot of issues with gas and gas pains. After doing some research, I decided to cut out all dairy and soy from my diet as I was exclusively breastfeeding her. With these changes I did notice some improvement, however, this was very short lived. At around 6 weeks of age, she started having these episodes where she would stop nursing and just scream in pain. This could last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour plus. The only thing that seemed to calm her would be to put her in the Moby Wrap and walk with her. I also noticed that her stools never changed from the green color to the yellow mustard color like it should have. Her diapers also seemed to contain a lot of mucous. At first we thought her episodes may be related to reflux, so we tried giving her some Mylanta prior to feedings. Big mistake!!! That only escalated her symptoms. Finally I started doing some research online and discovered that all of her symptoms (abdominal pain, fussiness, not sleeping, stool changes, ezcema, etc) fit the picture of an infant with MSPI or Milk Soy Protein Intolerance. Sure enough when we met with her pediatrician later that week and she just so happen to have an episode of pain did he agree with me. Right away I took a look at my diet and eliminated all dairy, soy, and milk protein. Within a few weeks we noticed a significant difference in our baby girl!</div>

Things seemed to go well over the next couple months so once she reached the five and a half month mark, we decided to try a round of cereal. Due to my diagnosis of Celiac Disease, we knew to avoid oats and instead went with rice cereal. After much research, I decided to try the Happy Bellies Brown Rice Cereal as it is gluten, dairy, and soy free. The first night she did great and really seemed to enjoy it. Second night same thing. The third night was a disaster! She ate the cereal without any problems, however, that night she was up all night, screaming in pain, very irritable. Sure enough the next day she started having green mucousy stools again......<br />
<br />
After doing some research, I then decided to try some avocado. After a couple days she seemed to be tolerating it okay, so we advanced to sweet potatoes. Gradually I started making my way through different fruits and vegetables but soon we were having sleepless nights, an infant screaming in pain, really gassy, etc. Finally took her to see our pediatrician who diagnosed her with FPIES or Food Protein Induced Entercolitis Syndrome. Luckily her issues have not been too severe as others with this have infants who are vomiting to the point they get so dehydrated they need to go to the ER for IV fluids. <br />
<br />
Once we had the new diagnosis, we started again from scratch trialing foods for at least a week to two weeks. So far she has tolerated squash, sweet potatoes, pears, sweet peas for pureed food. Solids she will eat chunks of avocado, bananas, white potato, and sweet potatoes. She also enjoys Kix cereal. Her fails so far are brown rice cereal, carrots, apples/applesauce, mangoes and any pureed baby food with ascorbic acid, citric acid, lemon juice, etc. She also just recently had an episode where she was up for 30 minutes, screaming in pain, thrashing around in our bed. Nothing could be done to calm her down :( We are not sure what exactly caused this, she did try some french fries that had some preservatives so for now those will be avoided.<br />
<br />
Hopefully she will outgrow this issues by the time she is one or shortly thereafter. I have tried adding soy product back to my diet slowly. She seems to tolerate soy lethicin, soy sauce, etc. But the two times I have tried soy milk she doesn't sleep well, really gassy, and has issues with her stools. We will retry this maybe next month.....<br />
<br />
These past 10 months have definitely not been the easiest, especially with the many sleepless nights. In comparison to others who have kids with the same issues, we are definitely one of the lucky ones. We have no issues with her nursing, taking her bottles, or eating her solids. Though she is on the small scale, she is still gaining weight and growing. Developmentally she seems to be on track hitting her milestones, lately she has been moving about the room by scooting on her bottom and she is working on pulling herself up to stand!<br />
