Another Cute Video

Okay, okay, okay...... so I'm a proud Momma! I don't go anywhere without the camera and have a million pictures and videos to put on here. Fortunately for you all, though, I don't post every time I really want to. So much happens as Pod discovers new things or makes a funny face or learns something new. I just want to capture every moment on film to cherish forever.... I wish I could, but I know I can't.

Anyway, here's another funny little video clip. This is a pacifier that was given to me by the staff at Children's Hospital. Jace didn't use it while in the hospital. Anyway, it is vanilla scented & is supposed to be soothing to babies. The other night after Jace's little surgery I couldn't pacify him & remembered having this. So I offered it to him. He seems to love it, but it just makes me laugh to watch him with it in his mouth.

1 new video inserts & 1 adorable picture

Isn't this a cute picture? I just love it. My mom is doing some project for Thanksgiving and needs a picture of Jace looking straight-on into the camera. I have tried and tried to get a picture like that. During the process this picture showed up and I fell in love with it and decided to post it. Doesn't he just look so happy? He truly is a very happy baby.

One thing Pod loves to do is swing in his swing. There is a mobile & a mirror at the top that he looks at. I think he's recently noticed his voice because he'll look up in the mirror and just "talk" and smile ( I think he's laughing, but it's not a normal laugh like ours).

Every morning after he eats (& burps), I put him in the swing while I have my coffee and breakfast. Today he was just cooing and laughing, so I thought I would get the camera out to show you all. He is laughing and talking to me in this video.

Last night I introduced wheat back into my diet. It was one week and one day yesterday that I introduced the soy. He doesn't seem to have any problems/reactions whatsoever. I hope that he'll do just as well with the wheat. The allergens I have left to introduce back after the wheat are eggs, peanuts, and milk. The doctor didn't tell me what order to introduce items back, but did say to do the milk last. So I saved the three most common allergens for last.

I just got done giving Pod his bath. He loves to take baths! Lucky for me! Anyway, today I think we'll go to Target. The only diapers we have left are Huggies brand. They don't work good for Pod; they leak. We used the newborn diapers when he first came home from the hospital. They leaked all over the place, so we switched to Pampers. I've run out of Pampers and only have Stage 1 Huggies left. These are for 8-14 lbs. Well I started using them yesterday and the Huggies kept leaking. In fact, I was up at 3:00 this morning changing the crib sheets because his diaper leaked all over his bed. Poor thing was soaked on his back. I wiped him down and decided we're going to go get some Pampers and leave the Huggies for emergency use only. Target is having a special this week only that if you buy two cases of Swaddlers Pampers, then they'll give you a $10.00 Target gift card. So that basically makes each diaper about $0.18 (tax included) when you consider that Target is giving you $10.00 back in a gift card. That's not too bad considering they usually average around $0.29 each (tax included).

I've got to order a couple of cases of formula today, too, before I forget so I better get off of here. The baby is sleeping so it's a prime time to go get my shower & get my internet order to Neocate.

Talk to you all soon... enjoy the video!!

SOY...It Does A Pod Good!

It will be a week ago tomorrow that I re-introduced soy into my diet. Pod has been nursing every day. He doesn't seem to be having any reaction to it at all. Yay!!! So far so good. I'm not quite sure allergen I'll introduce next.

Tomorrow he goes for his surgery. I feel so bad for him, but I think we'll both get over it. I hope it is harder on me than it is on him!
