Adia had an absolutely normal poopy today with no butt burning! Her diaper rash is almost gone and her eczema has certainly improved. I picked up a couple gluten free cookbooks so I'll have more ideas on what to feed her. Once I bake some bread, I think Adia will be happier with her food choices too.
We ran a bunch of errands today. Adia took a nap from 10:30-12:30 and gave me plenty of time to unwind. She woke up at 6am, drank a bottle and went back to sleep until 7:30. She was really happy to see Scott this morning. She's hardly had any daddy daughter time lately and she misses it. We had breakfast, yogurt and a buckwheat eggo for her. Then she had a baking soda bath, a shower with me and then her nap. She was definitely ready to sleep when I laid her down on her couch and handed her the bottle. She didn't even try to get up.
I woke Scott up when Adia woke up so he could get dressed and we could run errands. We made a quick stop at the dentist office to settle a bill and then headed to Borders. Adia insisted on walking. If you ask her if she wants to walk, she actually tries to get down so she can. She walked around holding my hand and then transferred to Scott for a little bit. They came and found me later because she had been "looking" for me. Adia and I wandered for a little bit before buying our books.
We got back in the car and Adia started fussing. It was about the time that Adia usually gets a snack. We wanted to go out for a late lunch though. We dropped by the house and I packed some food for Adia, gluten free crackers and cereal, string cheese and chopped up grapes and strawberries. We ate at P.F. Changs. Adia was really excited to see the string cheese. Cheese is definitely one of her favorite foods. We ate and when Adia was ready to go, she started waving and saying "bye bye." It's her signal that she's finished with what she's doing and wants to leave or do something else. It's rather effective.
Adia played a little bit when we got back to the house. I read her a few books. She started to get cranky around dinnertime. She definitely has an internal clock. I had no idea what to feed her for dinner though. She ended up eating a bunch of cheese and half a gluten free eggo. She started waving when she had enough. Scott gave her a bath and got her ready for bed. She played, had me read more books and then signalled it was time for bed. She guzzled 8oz and probably could have drank more, but that's all the bottles hold.
She was fast asleep by 8:15. I tried laying her in her crib, but she always wakes up as I'm trying to set her down. Hopefully we can change it into a toddler bed soon so I'll be able to lay her down easier. I was able to get her to sleep in the bed though.
I've been thinking, Adia stopped sleeping well around the time I broke my arm. That's also the time when she started eating things like cheerios, puffs and biter biscuits. All contain wheat and gluten. Do we think there could be a correlation? I certainly do. Her poop started to get strange then too, but I thought it had to do with solid foods, not a food allergy/intolerance. Her yogurt also had wheat, among other grains, in it since it was the fruit and cereal yobaby. She's back to sleeping well and her poop's finally solid. She's also not so bloated anymore. Scott noticed the difference today.
