Alexander's blood test for allergies came back negative. This doesn't mean he does not have any food allergies. It just means that if he still has rashes on his bottom, then we'll test again when he's older. It's very common to get false-negatives in children under 2 years old. So, I just have to keep paying attention to what I'm feeding him and bring him back to the allergist when he gets another rash on his bottom (not diaper rash- a rash like he's touched latex).

Here are some cute pictures of Alexander:

He loves riding this horse and hugging it:


Enjoying his first lollipop- he knew exactly what to do with it. He didn't try to eat it, just sucked on it.


He loves taking off his pants. Sometimes he will just pull them down part way and say "uh, oh" repeatedly. Or he'll walk in the room without his pants and I have to search for them. He likes to touch his legs. I call him Baby Legs when he does this. I like squeezing his cute chubby baby legs, too.


We had some friends over today to make Valentines. We weren't really paying attention to Alexander, until my friend noticed he had a marker, then we noticed the blue lips. I think he did it on his teeth, too. It came off easily. Thank goodness for washable markers.

Glenn's Birthday Party

Glenn had his birthday party with his friends, yesterday. He enjoyed it so much! Here are pictures from the party. He had a Cars movie theme.

I made a Lightning McQueen pinata


I got this wall hanging with the Cars cars on it. We put it up the night before and Glenn was very surprised when he saw it in the morning.


We put out Glenn's race track for the guest to race with. They all loved it.


Our littlest party guest checking out the cars


I made them Radiator Springs drivers licenses, which Bob handed out at the Radiator Springs court house.


They had fun playing Hullabaloo


Glenn's party guests (2 were sick and couldn't make it, but notice they are all girls besides his brother- he only wanted these girls to come, no boys).


Showing off their tattoos from Ramone's House of Body Art

Blowing out the candles


Pulling strings on the pinata to get the candy


They had their popcorn and lollipops and were ready to watch the Cars movie


Alexander pulled his friend around in the school bus

I finally got Alexander singing on video. When he watches the video, he sings along. He's so sweet.


We are still waiting to hear his results from his allergy blood test. If we don't hear tomorrow, I'm supposed to call on Monday.

Glenn is turning five on Sunday!!! He's having a few friends over on Saturday to celebrate. Then we'll have him open his presents from us on Sunday, and Monday, he celebrates with his class. Then when both sets of grandparents come down next month for a visit, we'll have another party for him. He's excited that he has four birthday parties.

Alexander went for allergy testing today. We already knew he had a latex allergy, but he's been having a reaction on his bottom to his poop. So, he probably has a food allergy, too. They tested some things on his back, and they came back negative. But since he's so young, it might not come back positive. So, we're also going to do a blood test, which I have scheduled for tomorrow. That will test for things they couldn't test for on his back. But the same thing applies that since he's so young, if it's negative, it that doesn't really rule it out. He did well with the testing even though he was crying. I think he was crying more because he doesn't like medical people and not because it hurt (she showed me how it felt on my hand).

Here's a picture of the boys (because I know that's what you really want). Alexander is wrapped in his daddy's Snuggie and Glenn's dressed up from going to church.

I'm excited about my new website for my business. Bob did an excellent job with my old one, but he had to do all the updating and we had 4 different places on the web where I was updating new items. It was very time consuming. So, now I have a website on Artfire, which is a site for people who sell things that they make, or handmade items. The website is: http://LauriesCustomCreations.artfire.com
It also enables me to receive orders through Facebook, which most of the orders I received were from people who are "fans" on my business's fan page. Plus, now I can do all the updating myself and don't have to bother Bob (although he says he loved doing it).

In other news, it was a beautiful day today. Since Glenn didn't have school today, we went to a fun park this morning and Glenn and I flew a kite this afternoon while Alexander was sleeping.

Alexander hasn't been sleeping well the past few weeks. I think I finally figured out why, he has a 2-year old molar coming in. I didn't think it would come this early (he's 18 months). It looks very painful, and I'm sure the others will follow soon.

Here are a couple fun pictures:
