Milk and soy are not Wren's friends.

What a week! Last weekend, Wren got to meet several of Cam's and my best friends. We got lots of help that weekend so we could enjoy the Dallas St. Paddy's Day activities while our friends were in town. Wren appeared to be getting better and was sleeping well Friday and Saturday, but things took a turn for the worse Sunday when Wren began projectile vomiting. Her diarrhea still hadn't improved, either.:(

I took Wren back to the doctor on Wednesday and they referred me to a GI specialist. Wren definitely has a milk protein allergy, but she's also allergic to soy! There is soy in the formula we switched her to last week. We've now put her on her FOURTH formula, an amino acid-based formula, and within two days, she is getting better! Her diarrhea is gone, her rash is fading, and the vomiting has subsided. She's still pretty fussy, but she's hitting her 6-week growth spurt, so I suspect the fussing is due to her increased hunger. We hope we've found the solution for our little bird. It's been a rough 6 weeks for her.

Jennuh went back to Austin today after staying for 2 nights to help us out. Tonight Wren gets to meet her Uncle Wes and Aunt Poppy for the first time!

My solution for when Wren insists on sleeping on my chest. Hands-free mama!

Beautiful baby bird

Lately she only sleeps when being held. :/ Very inconvenient, but I'll do anything lately to comfort our poor baby. She's had such a rough 6 weeks!

4 month photo dump

I have neglected updating Wren’s blog for several moths, so here is a huge photo dump featuring Christmas, her 3rd birthday, and first time skiing in Crested Butte. Our little one has such a funny little personality. Right now she’s really into cooking and food toys, and she’s turning out to be kind of a girly girl. She insists that everything is “pink”, and the books she picks at bedtimes are typically princess books and fairy tales. She continues to be obsessed with the big bad wolf and witches. Her favorite food is French fries, but she fortunately does a good job cleaning up her fruits and veggies too. When she turned 3, she told us she would now like to have coffee, beer and wine. 😂  She skied for the first time in Crested Butte in February with Cam’s family and loved it. She kept telling her ski instructors that she wanted to “go fast!” She loves her cousins Cash and Walker dearly and thinks they are super cool.  First date  Arboretum Christmas village  Taking...

Summer into Fall

We've had some pretty big developments since my last update. A few days after my last post, Wren began crawling out of her crib and transitioned into a big girl bed! It's been an exhausting 2 1/2 months. She fights like crazy at night to get into bed, and for several weeks she was waking up in the middle of the night and running into our room. Things have improved, but she's still adjusting! We went to Miami with Baba and Yaya in July. They were such great help with Wren, so Cam and I had a little time to relax. Wren loved staying in her "house" with Baba and Yaya and swimming in the hotel pool. She's still not a huge fan of the beach! Wren has been doing great with her potty training! She only wears Pull-Ups at night and has few accidents these days. I was bribing her with toys every time she peed or pooped in the potty, but lately I've had to up it to chocolate or cookies. She's developing a sweet tooth like her mama after all. ;) Wren spent a lot of...
