After Halloween things slowed down ... until about 5 days later when William started to act differently. He was being more fussy, crying whenever nursed, gassy more than usual and even developed some ecxema (rashes on his skin). A week and a half of this behavior and I started to get worn down to the pont of tears, "What happened to my perfect baby!? Will life ever be the same??"
Then I called some lactacion consultants and discovered that it was all being caused by the dairy in my diet. Apearantly he has a sensitive tummy :( It made Thanksgiving dinner a little depressing for me (no rolls, no mashed potatoes, no green bean casserole... the list goes on), but other than that I'm just happy we found out what was bothering him. He still is getting it out of his system and has worse days than others, but he's usually a happy little camper now :)
We traveled down to Utah for Thanksgiving and had a ton of fun seeing family! Adam and I had some Black Friday fun with Ben and Maura (the amount of people at JoAnne's Fabric store was INSANE!!), and William and Alice had another play date.
Now we are back home just waiting for our Christmas visit to family! We started decoratig right away once we got home and William helped with putting the tree together.
We're on the same flights as Ben and Maura (not planned!) so we will be flying to and from Washington with them--3 babies, 4 adults, 1 airport... fun! *non-sarcastic* Adam only has a couple weeks left of the semester that he's counting down to now, and I'm focusing on getting presents and Christmas letters together. We're excited to see everyone in a few weeks!
