Jaden Valentina

Jaden is talking so much now. She can say "Woof Woof" for dogs, nods her head yes and no when you ask her a question. She says "Ba Ba" for bottle and signs the word "Please". She also signs for "More" and "Eat". She says "Hi Daddy", "Bye Bye Daddy", Up (and points), and Pee Pee. She also likes to play basketball with the next door neighbors' kids. (KaRo and Will)

Our biggest obstacles lately have been her allergic reactions to Casein (Milk Protein). They should have a test for this instead of telling me to try different milks. Whole milk, soy milk, soy formual and Lactaid caused her to get very sick. When our regular formula was recalled, we had to switch and she got sick again. We now know to look for broken down proteins in the formula fine print. Now the doctor wants me to try Rice milk....Ugh!! I think i'll give Jaden a rest from diahreah and vomiting for a while before trying another one.

Jaden also moved up to a new Toddler class at school and didn't seem to take it too well. I've been doing tours at other schools as i'm thinking of pulling her out of there. She's so social but the new class was pretty chaotic for her. (A lot more teachers and kids in and out of one room).

I had a few meetings with the director and we decided to move her back for a few weeks until Piper and Bryce (her best buds) can move up with her to the new class. I'm still not feeling great about it so we may still put her in a more stable home daycare. (less interuptions and teacher changes). TBC....

Hopefully I'll get some new pics of her smiling soon.
