Ava loves Dr. Seuss!

3 Months Old!

Well, Ava is growing like a weed! She is smiling at us, cooing at us, rolling over on her side (no full roll yet) and I swear she giggled at me yesterday! She is such a joy to have around and cuddle with. She loves looking at herself in the mirror - especially when Mommy is holding her. She will smile and then tuck her head under my chin and grin. She loves it when Daddy comes home as she greets him with all kinds of big smiles. Pete has this amazing ability to put her on his chest and she just falls asleep! She won't do that with me... She loves to greet us with smiles in the morning. She is now sleeping in her crib at night which is great for all 3 of us! She is sleeping a 5-7 hour stretch at night which is great for Mommy & Daddy!

We go for a follow up appt. tomorrow to the Pediatric GI regarding her dairy/soy intolerance. I am hoping for great news. I have been on a bare bones diet for 2 weeks now (mostly meat, fruit, veggies, brown rice, etc.) to try and get the remaining dairy/soy out of my system. That soy is so sneaky as I found out it was in my chewing gum and even in my lemon pepper seasoning! If there is still blood in her stool we will need to try and give her Neocate Formula. Which is a prescription formula that costs $100 every 2 days if not covered by insurance! So, please keep your fingers crossed that we don't have to go that route. I really want to continue nursing her. I will post back tomorrow with an update.
