We spent some time up at Crystal Mountain with Mom and Dad Roedema, Allison and Steve, Kristin and Keith and Brian and of course Wilson the pug. We went spent time at Sleeping Bear Dunes, went kayaking, the guys went golfing while the girls spent time at the pool. We also played games and had a campfire. We ate alot of good food and drinks..thanks to mom. Ryan and I also get to spend some time together while Grandma and Grandpa watched Levi. Levi had his own experiences up north....he had really bad diarrhea and diaper rash that we did not put diapers on him that much. I ended up calling the doctor on Sunday and he recommended we switch Levi's formula to soy...we did that and the diarrhea lasted till Tuesday. I then called the doctor and he wanted to see Levi in the office the next day...our trip got cut a little short. We went into the office on Wednesday and Dr. Salhadar (a doctor I work with at Metro) suggested we change the formula again this time to a lactose free type. So hopefully this works...Levi remains a "high maintenance child" :)...he has episodes of crying for one to three hours each evening. He loves to be held and loves walking around with mom or dad. He calms with a bath too. Here are some pictures from this weekend.
