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...

2-year-old Summer

We have had an eventful summer with our silly, spirited 2-year-old. Wren's transition to her new daycare went very smoothly. She loves her new school, friends and teachers, and didn't go through a rough time switching schools as we had anticipated. The new center is closer to our home and less expensive, so all-around it was a positive change for all of us. Last day at Medical City First week at Dealey with a new friend Wren has experienced lots of fun new places this summer. We've been to the Dallas Aquarium, Six Flags, the Fort Worth Zoo again, a Rangers game, and Wren's first pool party. Wren discovered hot dogs at the Rangers game and they might be her new favorite food. She loved cheering with the crowd for the Rangers! First time at the Dallas World Aquarium First time at Six Flags. We're Season Pass holders now! NOT a fan of the Ferris Wheel Definitely a fan of "The Boot". We rode this 6 or 7 times. Fort Worth Zoo. She loves reptiles. Deep talks wit...
