1. Bella's First Trip to the Park: On Friday David got home suprisingly early and it was a gorgeous day so we decided to take Bella to the park. David threw on the baby carrier and we walked around Hermann park for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately it was windy so we kept a blanket over her and so I didn't get any pictures. She slept the whole time-I am sure it was toasty warm against daddy's chest. David and I really enjoyed getting some sunshine and spending a little time together since he was on call all this past week and we didn't see much of each other.
2. My First Attempt at a Dairy Free Diet: Caution-this may be too much information!! Bella has been having green poop for the past two weeks that has progressively become mucous filled and blood streaked. So we called the pediatrician who didn't seem alarmed at all and felt it was due to a milk protein allergy. So there goes all my favorite foods!!! I am not much of a meat eater so I eat a lot of cheese and love my morning cereal. Unfortunately cutting out milk doesn't just mean not drinking milk; it includes cutting out everything that even contains milk as an ingredient...which is A LOT OF THINGS!!! I even learned that it may not say "milk" but things like "whey" and "lactic acid" are also to be avoided. I am praying this resolves the poop problem and maybe will even fix the evening fussiness.
3. Bella's First Play Date: Our good friends Huntleigh and Kim had a baby boy, Hunt, exactly one week after Bella. They brought Hunt over on Sunday and we talked non stop about all the difficulties of raising a new born. It was reassuring that we are all just as clueless and dealing with the same things. I loved being able to observe Hunt and see that all of Bella's little quirks and movements are aparently perfectly normal for a newborn. I look forward to them getting a little older and really being to interact together.
I think Bella had a little crush on Hunt...she seemed much more interested in him than he did in her!
This picture makes me laugh because I feel like Bella looks HUGE!
