Its been awhile... *8.10.11*

I can't believe how long its been since I have done an update on Neal. Wow. Well where do I start? Where did I leave off? Oh ok, Whole Milk.. I had to go look lol. So Neal switched to whole milk with no problems. In fact he still loves milk just as much as he did when we switched over. Neal's first birthday was a blast. He got so many gifts. I had to clean his toy box out after his party just to fit everything. Since then he has just been growing like a weed. Neal's second birthday didn't go so well. Neal ended up getting sick on his birthday so we had to put it off then on the day we planned on holding it after that he ended up getting sick so we had to put it off again. We eventually got to have the party but by then everyone had plans so pretty much non of this friends were able to show up. I feel like he went from one to two word sentences to 4 and 5 word sentences over night. Its crazy. I will keep everyone posted the best I can since I am working full time and have my hands full with Neal.

This morning I got up to a surprise in my email. Someone had commented on one of my Blogs. The fact that someone in general commented surprised me but what got me even more was who it was. In hopes that you will read this post I want to tell you that I am very happy that you read my post. You are a very strong person for how you handled yourself that night. The only thing I can say to your thank you, from lack of better words, is your welcome. Stay strong and if you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen.

Whole Milk

Last night I decided to start Neal on whole Milk. He is on his very last can of formula and I wanted to make sure he would like it before going completely out of it. He loves it. I gave him some before his lunch today and I could not get the cup away from him to give him his lunch. Last night he got some with dinner and did not need a bottle when he went to bed for the night. Thats awesome! I do know he likes to wake up when I go to bed, because we have to share a room since I'm living with my parents, so i will try my best to remember to give him a little bit of whole milk. I can't wait for him to be completely off of formula. I can handle $3 and some change every time he runs out vs $23 every time he runs out. So yeah, I'm very excited that he took to the milk so well.

11 Months

There has been quiet a bit I have not put up here yet. Dang... lol. Well Neal is walking fully now. He still has those moments where he falls. He is still working on standing up without having to pull up on something. We have gone to the park a couple of times and he has had lots of fun just being himself. He can say momma, dada, nana, and Hi. We are working on bye bye and pop pop. Um... I know there is more but I'm really tired and can't think of it all.. I will just have to leave it off here. Today I will be taking Neal out for a walk since it is so nice out. YAY for warm weather. lol Bye everyone.

Walking: Neal Update

Neal is now walking. He still has some balance problems but he gets over it. I can't believe it. He is only 10 months old and is walking. I heard most children don't start walking until they are a year old. I guess Neal is a bit ahead of things. So anyways. Since my last update we have gotten about 18 inches of snow total. On the weekend of Jan. 30 we got 11 inches. On the weekend of Feb. 6 we got about 5 inches and just yesterday we got about 2 inches. We still have a lot of snow on the ground. Neal has been a lot better. I was able to get pictures of him playing in the snow over the weekend. He loved it and I had a hard time keeping him out of the driveway where all the dirty snow was. He has 7 teeth, walking, um... I'm trying to think. Its been a long couple of weeks. Ok so I'm brain dead right now lol. I hope you enjoy the video of Neal walking. He has been getting very brave. He makes me so happy.
