Happy Valentine's Day




Bella went to Mother's Day Out today in her Valentine best, but she wasn't on her Valentine's best behavior. Apparently she was hitting and pulling hair unprovoked. I guess even sweethearts have a sour day. Perhaps Bella was feeling poorly and decided to take it out on her fellow classmates because by the time Grammy picked her up, she was running a fever and had a runny nose. So, I came home and took her to the doctor. Upper respiratory infection. In other words, she has a virus. But I did take the opportunity to discuss with the doctor whether whole milk was agreeing with Bella. Turns out, it probably isn't. Turns out my sugar plum probably can't tolerate the sugar in milk. So, after working so hard to get her to drink whole milk, we are switching back to the toddler soy formula. Just when we thought we were out, Similac pulls us back in.

i love bellas valentines outfit and her hair looks great. that is crummy that she was a sicky girl. whole milk is not that great. too bad you have to pay a fortune for the other stuff. hope you all had a great valentines day aside from the dr visit.

WE had to do half soy formula and half milk for about 3 mos...then David didn't have any trouble...but you have to do what works for you. Later...there is always soy milk (SILK) or Lactaid. Sydney got a virus when she was about 2 years old and wound up on soy for about a year b/c the virus just wiped out her tummy flora...but we switched back later no problems. It could just be not her time for milk yet.
