Ohhh...here it comes, here it comes, lots of kisses from Daddy.
I like it when Daddy is on diaper duty. He makes way funnier faces than Momma.James is growing into a little man. Now that he is feeling good its so fun to watch him develop and change. He is getting really strong. He holds his head up when he is on his tummy and props himself up on his forearms, enjoying watching the world around him. He grins a lot and he's pretty free with them too, he already talks to strangers. (I have my work cut out for me)
On Wednesday he had blood drawn for an allergy test. It had to be sent to a specialist so it will take a few days to get the results. For now he is on a formula (Alimentum) for babies with food allergies and protein sensitivities. He is doing great on this stuff, but hopefully after the allergy test results we can get back to breast feeding. I can't help but think that's the way God intended it and if I just persevere it will work yet. If nothing else this whole elimination diet has been a great way to lose the baby weight, only a few lbs to go. Not being able to eat any dairy, eggs, peanuts, and soy really cuts out a lot of foods, but at least I get to eat veggies again.
Last night Mom and I ate at McDonalds and I wanted t eat something other that a salad so I asked what kind of oil their fries were fried in and if their hamburger buns had any dairy, soy, or egg in them. Not one of the employees in the entire establishment could answer my question. You would think that there would be an ingredients list somewhere...maybe even on the packaging. The girl trotted back over to us after speaking with the manager and handed us a pamphlet saying that we could call the # on the front to find out anything we needed to. Fairly frustrated I asked if it was a 24 hr. # and she looked blankly at me and assured me that it was. I think her navy blue visor was velcroed too tight because, no, it was not a 24 hr. #. I'm just glad I don't have a deathly allergy because with all the incompetency in the world I am sure I would be dead.

I can verify that the little guy is adorable and his smiles and pout faces can get him anything around Grandma. So glad his G&G D get to met him next week.
Net, sounds like we both got up on the same side of the bed this morning...
Cute kid! Tim you look nice as well (didn't want to leave you out). Net, your McDonalds story cracks me up.
