When You're Smiling...

It has been seven days now that I have been on a no dairy, no wheat(gluten), no soy, no egg, and no peanut diet- NO FUN! This is per the instructions of the pediatric GI specialist that we saw last week. She suspects that Shayla has a protein allergy to one of the five most common allergens and when I eat this food it gets to her in my breast milk. So I have to cut everything out of my diet(and believe me it feels like everything... I especially miss bread and chocolate!). After a couple of weeks I will add them back in one at a time. We are feeling optimistic that it has finally started to make her feel better- and we are seeing more smiles!! YAY! That makes it all worthwhile!!

We finally got our baby girl to smile for the camera a few times. She smiles for us, but when we get the camera out she gets distracted by it. Here is what we've captured so far.
