No milk for you! (update)

So I've been *mostly* dairy free for about a week now. I've definitely seen a difference. I wasn't thinking yesterday and ate a pudding cup- today Noah had gas again. So I'm fairly certain dairy is the culprit. I miss ice cream already, but I'm happy that it's easy enough to correct and now my son is back to his happy easy going self.

4 month stats

We had Noah's four month check-up today. He weighed in at 15lbs 13oz (almost 75th percentile) and is 27 3/4 inches long (off the charts)! The doctor said he's teething but he thinks we still have a little while before the first tooth will cut through. His gums are a little purple and one spot is 'pointy' when I rub my finger over it.

I've made the decision to wait until 6 months before starting solids and the pediatrician fully supports that.

He had vaccines today. He took them much better then he did the last time, was just a little sleepier then usual and went to bed about an hour early.

I'm a slacker and I didn't take his "i'm 4 months old" picture yet. Days where I work, I pretty much come home and have to start his bedtime routine immediately. Some days we don't even get to the routine b/c he wants to eat right away and he passes out while nursing. I'll get the picture this weekend though!
