TEETHING AND IMMUNISATIONS

K had his 1 year vaccines last Friday. He has been a little agitated and Monday he was very poorly with fever as well. Poor thing, managed to eat all his 9 exchanges and 2 sachets of PKU Gel despite teething pain and fever. He has been a very brave little soldier.

Today we received his latest blood test results. His levels is around 475. It has been outside of the range for few weeks so we decided to drop it to 8 exchanges this week. Fingers cross his level will neutralise.

1 YEAR OLD

I have been meaning to post here but it has taken me this long to find the time to do it. K turned 1 years old 2 weeks ago. We celebrated his birthday at home with grandparents. Unfortunately daddy was poorly in bed.

I was not prepared for his birthday celebration with PKU as it revolves around eating, eating and eating... I attempted a cupcake with Mevelia cake mix. Our 5 year old girl (without PKU) loved them but K has tried a little but I don't think he appreciated it. I think it was purely down to being new to cakes. Never mind he is only 1, many birthdays to come.

He is now on 9 exchanges. He is still having vegetable mash such as sweet potato, butternut squash as well as petit filous, baked beans and cottage cheese.

His favourite food is bananas. He goes apes for bananas! :) He started to feed himself with spoon, he is doing so well and enjoying his food more this way. It really helps that he doesn't fuss over his gel anymore as he is happy to feed himself.

He started bottom shuffling around Christmas, he is getting around very fast nowadays. He recently started holding onto our hands and taking few steps around the house. Early stages of walking attempts...

He is looking so healthy and happy. He makes me proud everyday.
