4 months old!!

So I started this post over a month ago and never published it...so here are several weeks of Lexi rolled into one post. About 2 months ago we discovered that Lexi has a dairy allergy so I have been on a dairy free diet  ever since. Anyone who knows me, knows how horribly difficult that is for me! And it's not just avoiding dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. I can't eat anything that has ANY milk (including butter) in it. Read the labels on the food you eat today and you will realize how difficult that is. Making it through Halloween without eating any Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin Eggs was absolute torture! And now with the holidays coming up, Ryan had to research Thanksgiving recipe alternatives that didn't use milk or butter. Good thing he was motivated to do that research, otherwise I would have just had whole grain pasta for my Turkey Day meal.

Lexi has her 4 month check up last week. She weighed in at 11 lbs 8 ozs and measured 24.5 inches. Tall and skinny still. She is sleeping really well still, going 9 hours at night between feedings with no problems. We'll start introducing solid foods in the next month or two!

Lexi was a giraffe for Halloween, just like her best friend Girard the Giraffe! She wasn't a big fan of wearing that costume though.

Yummy, plastic!

It's funny that just looking through these pictures you can see how much she has changed in just 2 months time! I can't believe how quickly she is growing!!
