Tomorrow Sophie will be 4 weeks old!
The last few days she’s been a bit of a crankenstein and had some blood in her diaper, so on Friday we went to the pediatrician and found out that she has milk protein colitis, which means that she can’t tolerate dairy. So… that means that as long as I’m nursing I need to cut dairy out of my diet – and just when I thought I didn’t have to worry about what I ate anymore! Happily we’ve already begun to notice a difference in her moods after she eats. And last night we enjoyed a solid 5 1/2 hours of sleep straight! We’re not counting on that being a habit – at least night right now – but it was definitely enjoyable.

Sophie gets the hiccups about once a day, sometimes more. It’s pretty cute, so I tried to capture it. Not to worry – after this video and I picked her up before she started crying. I don’t think she thinks they’re as cute as we do.

Today marks Sophie’s one week birthday! We took her to the pediatrician this morning and she was back up to her birth weight (and a little past it) at 7lbs 7ozs. On Friday she was 6lbs 11ozs so she’s been packing on the weight over the past few days. She has quite the appetite so we weren’t surprised.
