No more cuddle bunny!

I think my boy is growing up! He has always been a cuddler but now a days he wants to explore. If I hold him for to long he gets all fussy and wants to be put down, even if its time for a bottle. I guess in a way its a good thing its showing his independance.

We have done so much these past few weeks, we went to frankenmuth and stayed in a hotel during the week so it was less likely to be busy and we were right hardly anybody there. This hotel has 6 pools, a kiddie area and putt putt it was so much fun. Jonathan loved it the whirpool was very nice and it hold about 20 people so it was huge and we (our family) had them all to ourselves. Then we went to Bronners its the biggest Christmas store in the U.S its always featured on the travel channel, I love that place its like being in Disney World and we only live about an hour away. Jonathan was so excited he was amazed by all the lights, colors, sounds and he didnt even want to be picked up which is very unusual he always wants to be held when we would go places but he just stayed in his stroller and took everything in making ohs and ahs, I love seeing his face light up! I can't wait for spring and summer to take him places and him enjoy it, since last year was not the greatest because we didn't know why he cryed 19 to 20 hours a day, oh I am SOOOOOO glad those days are gone! We are planning on going to Virginia in April and I need a vacation! Plus I'm not sure if my family knows their watvching Jonathan for a day so Justin and I can have some alone time but i am sure nobody will mind he is such a good happy boy! Then our next big vaction will be on a cruise in 2010 that should be fun, a two year old on a cruise maybe I should rethink that:)

Jonathan is growing like a weed he is now 16lbs 7ozs however he has somehow caught a cold and I am pretty anal about people washing their hands before coming into our home and almost everyone abides by our sign on the door but somehow he caught one so we'll see where his weight is in a couple weeks.

This cold has Jonathan coughing like a mad man I feel terrible he is so fussy and just doesn't know what he wants. His eating is not great but I guess I wouldn't want to eat if I threw up after I was done! We did have therapy yesterday and Allison our therapists was super surprised with him, 1. because he has had no therapy for 2 weeks because the sick bug seemed to go around the therapists and 2. because he was sick and still doing so much, I'll tell you I LOVE hearing that he is doing good because sometimes I wonder if I am doing everything I can for him! I still count every calorie that goes into that boy and some days I tell myself this is it I am not going to count anymore calories then we go to the doctor I see how good he is doing and kabam I start counting calories again becase I don't want him to lose weight and now that he is sick, dear GOD I am a mess I keep telling myself he is sick he is not going to get all his calories, see what I mean I even have to tell myself in the blog! The doc did give us the o.k to go to cincinatti for the feeding clinic I am so excited to get into this clinic and hope that we do see light at the end of this tunnel. I did try the hunny bear cup with Jonathan and he drank from it, didn't gag, cough, or choke so thats a good sign and we will definitly bring it to the clinic. He will now sit in his highchair and play with food, he loves yogurt on his hands and not his mouth:) So please send prayers our way for this monday when we leave for Ohio for feeding clinic!
