I just love her...

Yesterday while playing with Adah she LAUGHED a deep baby belly laugh for me!!! It was the best and sweetest sound I have EVER heard! I didn't want to leave her to get the camera to get it on video and of course she wouldn't do it again when Josh got home from school! Silly girl! We are trying our best to get it on video to share!

I don't know if it has anything to do with my new diet or just our little girl growing up but she slept SOOO good last night! The best so far! We put her down at 7 and she didn't get up until 4am! That is a HUGE step for her b/c she was getting up at 1 or 2 and then again at 4....and after her 4am feeding she went back down until 8! It was truly AMAZING! We will see if it last but I sure hope so!

The no dairy, soy and peanuts is hard to get used to! It is so hard to find things to cook for dinner when all my hubby eats is CHEESE!!!! We are getting more use to it though...he has been a good help in checking labels for me!

I have a good feeling that I won't be eating any more dairy for a while.....I have a strong feeling little miss Adah is taking after her mommy in that department and is going to have an allergy to dairy (I was allergic as a baby too). I am currently on day 5 so I have 5 more days to go. We check back in with the doctor one week from today since Monday is a holiday.

Adah laughing at Mommy!

A sleepy girl all dressed up for church!
This is her "mom, I'm done with this tummy time business" look!
All dressed up in her outfit from Nana and Great Gma! Too bad 3 min later she had a blow out!
This one was just too cute not to post....I got this super cute outfit from Janie and Jack on clearance! LOVE IT!

Happy squealing!

This past week at Adah's 3 month check up we mentioned to the pediatrician that we had noticed spots of blood in her stool a few times and just wanted to let her know. We were told back when she was first born that that can happen to newborns every now and then. Well evidently that is not the case for 3 month olds. The doctor checked her bottom to see if she noticed an outer irritation but since we keep so much desitin on her butt b/c she has sensitive skin it was hard for her to tell and she didn't want to upset Adah so she told us to look later when we were home and had her cleaned off. She also sent us home with 3 stool sample cards to collect 3 different samples of her stool and bring back in. The stool samples are to check and see if there are any traces of blood in the stool that can not be seen by the eye. Josh and I finished collecting the stool and took it up to the office yesterday and they tested it right then. Just so happens that 2 of 3 came back positive for blood. So what now.....the doctors don't seem too concerned at this point. Josh and I are keeping a "diary" of her diapers and I have been put on a "diet"...the GI specialist at the office has me eliminating all dairy, soy and peanuts from my diet since all three can cause irritation to an infants intestines/bowels! On the plus side Adah is acting completely normal. She is as vocal as normal if not more so....she still smiles ALL the time! She is sleeping and eating great and her diapers are normal...minus the occasional spots of blood! I on the other hand am going to have a hard time not eating any of the restricted foods! Oh well...its that or switch to formula and we are NOT doing that! I will be sure to update when we know more in about 10 days or so.

I'll leave you with this video of Adah that we took today so you can tell she is perfectly happy!

(she may not look happy but she is I promise....she started smiling at us right after....she loves to hear herself...what can I say)

Adah and her BFF!

My friend Amanda and I decided that we would never let the other stay at home all day long with just the baby! Yesterday Amanda and Parker came over to our place and we all had lunch...the babies "played" and then we all went on a walk down to get some froyo from our new favorite place Myo...they had a new flavor....cupcake batter so we had to try it!

Adah's thoughts....

While changing Adah this morning she insisted that I take another video of her....she had a few more things to say to everyone! Enjoy

(if you look close you can see a few times she gets a purple-ish line on the left side of her forehead....that happens when she is working something up for us...which is what was going on in this video...haha...maybe that is TMI...but I hate that purple line...it is from where they put the internal monitor on her during delivery!)
