So I noticed when you were two weeks old that you started to breakout, like extreme breakout but it was baby zits and also these red dots down your back and neck.  I read somewhere that if a baby breaks out before 3 weeks old and if it's that extreme it's probably a milk allergy.  When I realized that I stopped drinking milk and took dairy out of my diet and it seemed to help with the rash and your spitting up.  After a while I decided to make sure so I had milk and sure enough the rash was back and you were spitting like a faucet.  So I've been off milk and dairy since, okay occasionally I'll have some cheese but mostly I don't.  Anyway, yesterday you were super cranky and you were barfing and I didn't know what was up.  I finally realized that since I started bootcamp this week I'd been drinking protein shakes that are whey based.  Well sure enough I quit drinking those and no more spitting up.  I'm so hopeful that by staying away from milk now you won't be allergic to it later on.  You were so miserable yesterday and just cried and cried and then would spit like crazy.  When I realized what it was I felt so bad.
Luckily today you are back to your happy self.  You took a 3 hour nap this afternoon and then we went to watch Braden play baseball and you were happy as can be there.  You came home and ate and played and then went to sleep at 9pm.  You sleep in your own room now but you are still in the rock n play, not in your crib yet.  I decided to wait until you are content to sleep in your own room before I move you to your crib. 
You are such a joy and we all love you so much.  I'm so glad you came to our family and feel so blessed to have you.  You are starting to grab things now and love your toys.  We got you a saucer that you love and your brothers love to play with you in it.  The other night at FHE you were talking so loud every time I would start the lesson.  I would start talking and you would screech and so I would stop and everyone would laugh, I'd start again and then you would start talking and everyone would laugh.  It was so funny!  We are enjoying you talking more and more these days.
I had you on the counter the other day while Blake and I were eating lunch.  Blake and I were talking about how you roll over from stomach to back but not really from back to stomach and about a minute later you rolled from your back to stomach towards me.  No more laying on the counter I guess, although I was right by you to hold you, I just had you there so Blake and I could eat.
