Ugggggggggh.

Well, we FINALLY have an answer to Andersen's fussiness/throwing up/nasty diapers. The results came back from his tests we had done a couple weeks ago and he has MSPI (Milk Soy Protein Intolerance). They did a study of his stool. In normal babies, the level (can't remember what the name of what they were testing for was) should be under 50. Andersen's came back at 672! Yikes! The good news is that now that we know what we're dealing with, we can treat it and get him feeling better. The bad news is that I have to stop nursing for the time being and cut out ALL dairy and soy. I've been off of dairy for two weeks now, but it's only made a minimal improvement. He's on Alimentum now -- a hypoallergenic formula. It's idiotically expensive and smells awful. Poor AJ doesn't really like it and it's making him consitpated and have awful (and smelly!) gas. Hopefully our little guy will be feeling much better very soon. I just wish we'd found out a bit sooner since I started back to work this week and AJ went to daycare -- it was a lot of adjusting all in one week for us.

Andersen on his first day of daycare:

In other news, Law moved to his BIG big boy bed last weekend. He was in his crib converted to a toddler bed and now he's in a full. He loves it. We love it, too, because we can climb in and read him books and snuggle.

We hit the zoo last Friday with Nana and Aunt Si Si. It was a nice day and lots of fun. Andersen was a trooper and Law loved running around and seeing all the animals.

Today was quite a change from the nice weather we'd been enjoying. We have almost 7" of snow on our deck. Law helped daddy snow blow/shovel this afternoon and did NOT want to come in.

Here are a few random recent pics:

Hope you're all doing well!
