Jackson is 1 year and 1 month old and in full out pre-terrible two's 😳 lol. To add to the kitchen reno he has had an ear infection that required antibiotics twice daily, allergies requiring baby Zyrtec, and we found out he was anemic and had to start an iron supplement (something apparently very common in breast fead babies once they stop breast milk). So for all breast feeding moms a quick heads up, red meat is pretty much the only natural way to get a significant enough amount of iron. We go back to the doctor at the end of June to check on all of his poor little problems lol. Otherwise he is literally all over the place exploring EVERYTHING. Last week he picked up a caterpillar and well... yea, it was gross.. We have baby gates everywhere lol. We've been working on body part identification and words which we have been pretty impressed with!
Admittedly, we have been doing a LOT of prepared foods meal prepping from Whole Foods with the kitchen down. I've still been making fresh fruit and applesauce pouches for snacks. This momma is tired chasing after the kiddo and working so I've been so grateful to have that store close by! The iron supplement is required to be taken with orange juice and they also have a station where you can squeeze it fresh. Since they have to take it daily I figured it was likely healthier to go fresh squeezed. That may be helpful to know if you find yourself in the same boat as us! When our kitchen is complete I'll go back to using our juicer at home but I'm not even about to try and clean that thing in the bathroom sink 😒.
So that's about it as far as Jackson updates now check out some kitchen progress pic's below if your interested!! Backsplash, touch ups, floor trim and the window paint are all happening this week. After that we are just waiting on the countertops so the sink can go back in 😁😁. Before and after's to come later! Thanks for all your continued support in reading the blog!! It's been such a great experience for me ☺️☺️
Love,
