Happy 4 months, to my sweet Quinn!

well it's actually tomorrow, but seen as I have time i'll post it now!!

I think I have finally figured out what has been causing all of Quinn's fussiness from day one. It's sad for me to say but I had to give up all dairy products! I have a great love of ice cream and miss it, but it sure has made for one happy Quinn for me not to eat it!

We took Quinn in at the end of June for blood in his stool and they said it was from an anal fissure. we then had to take stool samples(oh the fun in that) and there was no blood after. well i then questioned for the second time in 2 weeks a milk allergy/senstivity. I researched it a bit online and he had ALL the symptoms. one dr and nurse said we will keep an eye on it, but don't change your diet. ok fine...so for 3 days leading up to a mini vacation I had cut way back on dairy not b/c i wanted to it just happened this way. well we went away and went to a REALLY good ice cream place so i got a milkshake...it was super tasty, but didn't make up for the next 3 days of torture I put my son through. he was not happy...fussy, pooping, spitting up, etc. so I cut all milk out again...i do have a piece of cheese or a bit of ice cream but that's it. It is like he is a brand new kid, laughing, happy, smiling, and content. So clearly that had to have been the problem...I haven't talked to his dr yet about it, I will do that friday. But i'm not about to eat/drink dairy for a while just to test it out...

As hard as it has been to give up the dairy, I can't wait to have it again! I told keith I'm making a date to go out for an Applebee's mudslide once Quinn is done nursing...

he now laughs and coos a whole lot! he rolls both ways and tries his hardest to sit up from a laying down position. I think he is also teething b/c he is drooling buckets and sucks/knaws on his hands!

He is such a joy to have around and I love watching Avery interact with him!
