21 Months!!

My little boy is growing up so much! He had so much fun this last month. Mostly because he was in Utah for 3 of the 4 weeks! He got so much attention from all of his favorite people! He stopped saying please and thank you because he didn't have to, he just got what he wanted! My family didn't really know his signs, or his versions of words, so Akoy just learned to beg for everything!

Besides getting so much attention and loving it, he had a rough transition to Utah. I felt like it was one thing after another! The day after Easter he did not sleep and was so cranky. I passed it off as to much candy. Well during a diaper change I noticed something red. After moving some extra skin around on his penis (tmi) I saw that it was blood red and had white stuff in it! It had become infected :( Poor guy. It was because we kept switching diapers on him, and he was used to his cloth or pamper cruisers. I took him into a doctor and they gave him some medicine that made it better.


After that cleared up he got a really bad diaper rash (again from stupid huggies) His skin started peeling off in a few places. More screaming during diaper changes.


Once that cleared up he got allergies! I'm pretty sure he is allergic to Gregory's cat. The doctor explained to me that he was exposed and fine when we lived there but once we moved his body decided to not like the cat anymore. His eyes were so red and swallon. After rubbing them so many times, his dirty (and mine) hands gave him an infection! It was constant gunk coming out. I think the benadryl drugged him a little too much because he was soo loopy and it made his eyes more red. Luckily my sister Brooke had some eye drops (our insurance doesn't cover out there) and they helped clear it up! Luckily it worked so fast! One night after not falling asleep, I laid by hm. He NEVER lays by me! Ignore the horrible pictures of me, I'm pregnant, and sleeping. Don't you love the double chin look when your asleep?! ;) Look how precious he is! His poor eyes are so red. I'm glad at least the goop was gone on this night.

up at 2 am

I have no idea why he kept getting one thing after another, but he was a champ throughout it! It didn't help that his sleep schedule was totally messed up and naps were shortened or cut out. This kid needs his sleep! :) And so does his momma ;)


-He is continuing saying more words, but not talking. He knows a lot of signs, and will use them without me even teaching them. Example, he started signing hurt when he penis was infected. He also signs ice cream. He got a lot of that in Utah :)  I have never even showed him those. Smart little guy!
-He can open doors now. Great! He has a big obsession with closing the doors, he freaks out if they are open.
-He loves coming around the corners and saying BOO!
-He can now climb on our tall bed by himself
-Very opinionated
-He says Bless You whenever someone sneezes. It's hilarious! I guess he just picked that up on Bryson saying it when I sneeze.
-He is crazy!

The video below was taken on the way home from the airport. Akoy was SO tired but still in a good mood. He would just smile every time we looked back. Eventually we just let him go to sleep for the rest of the drive back. 

P.S. I cut/buzzed his hair pretty short and I hate it! Note to self, don't do that again! :)
