I don't think it's dairy...




K... it's been two weeks since I've had any dairy. So today I had some cheese. So far, no difference in how he's reacting. I'll wait till the end of tomorrow, but I think it isn't a milk sensitivity. I'm actually thinking it's reflux. The reason for that, is because he spits up a lot(I know it's not as much as it looks like, but it really is a lot) if he is on his back, and that's also when he's grumpiest. But, he is so much better if we keep him up at an angel. I always said I wouldn't leave my kids in the car seat all day but I've been putting him in it when I can't hold him because it gives him the angle. I'll also put him in his swing(Thank you Paige!) and that works too. There are a few other reasons, but so far, I'm thinking that may be what it is. I'm going to call his pediatrician tomorrow and see what he says. I know there is baby antacid stuff or something but I don't know how good it is or if it works, or is safe. I just hope there is something we can do to make him less miserable. That will also make him cry/scream less and make Mom and Dad much happier!
Sorry about the poor quality on the first picture. When you get too close with our camera and the flash goes off, the picture gets washed out like that. I wanted to put it up though because I'm pretty sure that's a smile! Same with the one further down. I had just gotten him out of the shower and he's always happy after that.
Loren is pulling an overnighter for school. In one of his classes there is a huge group project that has to be finished up. I think after that all he really has left is finals. It will be nice when he's done with school. He's going to take next semester off so he can get start going full time in the spring/summer and fall, then be off for winter semesters. Also, he may be starting a new job now with everything that's been going on. Whether we end up finding it, or his contractor boss finds it is yet to be seen... but that's all still up in the air. One way or another though we don't have to stress too much about all that.
Well, Ethan is asleep and I'm thinking I'm going to try for sleep too. As always, hope everyone is well.
