No Milk For You

A little less than a month ago Wes had a few diapers with blood in his stool. To make a long story short, his doctor suggested I go dairy free and see if that helped. Turns out that he probably has a difficult time digesting the proteins in dairy products. He is sleeping so much better and no longer screaming in pain every night. Every once-in-awhile he still wakes up screaming with gas pain. I figure he has a sensitive stomach and it is probably something I ate. I'm super careful with dairy, so I here is the big question for you all:

Are there foods you ate that your baby was sensitive to?

I'm hoping to avoid all the bad foods so I can maximize my sleep at night. I'm really not ready to be done breast feeding and his doctor said things usually get better around six months. I'm trying to hold our until then.

Let me tell you, it really stinks not eating dairy. Our play group went to a Purity dairy factory last week and they had all this really yummy free ice cream. Yeah, I couldn't eat any. I'm okay with it.

It's all worth it though for this cute face.

Grandma Wilson

Justin has some aunts from Canada visiting his grandmother who lives about 20 minutes away from us. So his mom was able to come out for about a week and visit. Coincidentally Justin also had that week off. We were able to spend some quality time with his mom. Izzy and Wes loved having her out. Thanks for coming Grandma!

At the Car Wash

This one is my favorite.

And here is a cute one of Wes getting out of the bath.

Joining the Easter Party

So everybody else has an Easter post. Even though it's belated, here is mine for histories sake. We did the church Easter hunt and then our own little one Easter morning. Isabella was really good at finding all the eggs. We talked to her about how Jesus was resurrected, but I'm pretty sure she didn't understand. She sure can say resurrection though. Someday she will understand.

This is a bunny mask we made at the primary Easter activity.

Three Months Old

Our cute little man is getting so big! We are reallly crazy about him. He really is a content little guy as soon as you feed him. If only he would learn to sleep a little better...

Blessing and Cousins

Isabella had a really great time getting to know her cousins. Jackson is six months younger than her and they really hit it off. Izzy was a little possessive of her toys, but when they got past that, they were really cute together. Izzy also really loved running through the house trying to get away from 4 year-old Preston and into Maddy's protective arms.

I really have to give a huge shout out to my sister, Amy. I was able to be reminded of the reasons why I look up to her as a mother. I am amazed at the patience she has with her children and the way she finds every opportunity to teach them. She is so good at setting aside other things to spend one-on-one quality time with each of them. Her discipline is consistent and her kids respond so well. Ame, I want you to know that you are my inspiration and I strive to be like the great mother you are!
Last of all, the reason for a few days of fun with our cousins was the blessing of our handsome little man. Justin did a really great job and it makes me so grateful that he is able to exercise the power of the priesthood. He is such a great example to his family. He grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousins were able to attend the blessing and come over afterwards to hang out. We really enjoyed ourselves. It always nice to have an excuse to get family together. I wish I would've taken more pictures that day, but it was pretty crazy. I did manage these two.

Identical Cousins?

My sister, Amy, was here for Wesley's blessing this past weekend. Her little boy, Garrett, is about a month older then Wesley. He is such a cutie! Here are some pictures of them together.

What do you think?

We went to the zoo (picts to come) and I was holding both boys for a second and everyone walking by kept saying things like, "You've got your hands full." and "Look at those cute twins." I was happy to pass on the news that they were cousins.
