Adventures in Baby Food
Mia has started eating baby food. Thanks to Jackie (Brian's sister), we've been able to make the baby food at home and Mia's basically cleared to eat any vegetable that we eat.
We started with applies, which were not well received. We thought it might just be because she wasn't ready to eat yet, but now that I know how well she has taken the rest of the food, I realize that we may just have a picky eater on our hands. She took much better to butternut squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Next week, green beans.
Amazingly, we are still up in the air about the Baptism. The lady was supposed to call me back this afternoon, but she hasn't. As far as I know, we've already completed all the requirements... but you know. Apparently the Catholic Church is the same as the Federal Government.
Lastly, here is Mia's latest video. On Sunday night, she was cheering the Bears on!

Got it!
After a few unsuccessful attempts, we finally got Mia's giggles on video. The other day, she started laughing hysterically when I started playing with Swarley in front of her. Tonight, we decided to try bringing Swarley in again and giving Brian the camera. Here it is! Again, you'll have to excuse my over excited and high pitched voice.
Also, a video taken by one of my co-workers of Mia chatting it up.
On a not as cute note, it turns out Mia has a milk protein allergy. Last week, there were blood streaks in her #2 diaper. I immediately called the pediatrician, and they told me not to freak out, that it was probably just some kind of allergry, and to bring her in to the office in the morning. After a very fitful night of waking up every 2 hours, we went to the pediatrician with dirty diapers wrapped in doggie poop bags. After asking a series of questions about my diet and what kind of formula we've been supplementing with. Since I hate the taste of milk, it hasn't impacted Mia. Lately, I started eating cereal in the mornings for breakfast and eating ice cream after dinner. This spike in dairy apparently aggravated Miss Mia's tummy. So, we are switching to soy formula and sticking to that from now on. Apparently, about 70% of babies with a milk protein allergy tolerate soy just fine, but 30% require a more broken down type of formula that costs about 3 times more than regular formula. So, we are really REALLY hoping that we fit into that 70%. Cross your fingers for us!
So far, we have only seen a little bit of blood in the past couple of diapers. The pediatrician told us not to be alarmed if we saw more in the next few days, because it takes at least one week for the stomach lining to heal up. So, we are going to continue to examine every diaper and hope for the best!

Back by popular demand
Another video! This time, Mia enjoying the bath. Warning, there is a naked baby in this video :) Again, you'll have to ignore my annoying high pitched voice. You can't help it when trying to get your baby excited...
