6 month stats



Grahm had his 6 month appointment a week ago. Even though my right arm is getting super buff carrying him around all the time, I'm not coordinated enough to carry him with my left arm too often, so I was happy to see that he had only gained 1 1/2 lbs since his 4 month appointment. He is now 27" long (tall...?). What a big boy.

The pediatrician was impressed that I was still nursing, considering the fact that I can't eat soy, milk & eggs (well, nuts too, but I'm used to that part so it doesn't really count). He said that I've already made it way longer than most moms who have a baby that has a milk protein allergy. That made me feel good. It's kinda been tough but I've gotten pretty used to it. I think the end is coming though, b/c the doc gave me the go-ahead to stop whenever I want, now that RSV season is over. I'm planning about a weeks worth of omelets, cookies, muffins and other delicious foods as soon as I can put them back in the diet... rice milk and egg substitute have carried me through some hard times but I can't say I'll miss them too much.

Wow- look at how much I've written in this post. Ahh, the things you can do when your baby is sleeping. Thanks to his 2 1/2 hour nap (which he still hasn't woken up from.. this is NOT normal), I've been able to workout, shower, get dressed, do my hair and makeup, do some much needed cleaning, AND write this post all while he's been asleep. I feel like SuperMOM.
Just imagine my face in this photo.

  3. I love to hear how your little guy is doing and he just couldn't be any cuter! I am way impressed that you have kept up nursing when you can't have all those yummy foods. I wouldn't have been able to do it, it is hard enough to nurse, but I can still eat everything I want. Glad to hear you are doing well, we should get together soon, we had so much fun!
