Dodger

Dodger had a doctor appointment last week and this week and we FINALLY figured out that he is for sure allergic to milk. Would've been nice to know 6 MONTHS AGO!!! So FYI to all you new or not new mommies out there, if your baby has SEVERE eczema, spits up like crazy, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat, etc. , it might not be "normal" like the doctors may say. Needless to say, he started on soy milk 3 days ago and we've seen a HUGE improvement! He's sleeping SO good, eating much better and his skin actually looks like a baby now. It's so exciting! I can't tell you how many things I had tried on his skin, poor guy itched like crazy. He's been such a trooper through all this though, he's such a happy little guy. He loves to flirt with girls, you look at him, he'll smile and turn away like he's shy. It's adorable. He's still my little cuddle bug too, and still so tiny. His stats this visit were:

Weight 14 lbs - 17 percentile
Height 25 in - 25th percentile

How frustrating! I always think our motherly instincts are right - we can really tell when something is wrong and need to tell the doctors to LISTEN! I'm sorry you've had to go through 6 months. Bleh. He is adorable by the way.

Poor little guy, he's such a sweetheart. At least you know now and can get past the worry. Give him a big kiss from Nana, I miss him and Taya!

Are our kids related or something? I'm glad the soy is working for him. It didn't make a diff. with Chandler. He's adorable. Where did all the hair go???

I think it's crazy how us moms have to be our own Docs and figure things out! AHHHH! Glad you did though. Can't believe how blonde your little guy is! So cute!
