Got milk?

Unfortunately, in an attempt to free our dear Brody of his colic and us of his screaming, I have gone off dairy. And if any of you really know me well or even not very well, you know how much I love a good glass of milk. It is quite sad actually! But the fact that it has worked after only a few weeks makes it worth it. I can tell a difference and one night I had a Hot Fudge Sundae and the next day, Brody let me know and his poop was green which is a sign of too much lactose in his diet. I knew right away that my love for dairy would have to take the back burner until I'm done nursing.

In other news, I have decided to lighten my load by getting rid of a good and longtime friend...my hair! And all I can say is "HALELUJIA!!" and it's about time. I have been debating it for a long time but the last string was when I caught Brody with a handful of hair in his mouth. I seem to find hair everywhere and can't vacuum enough. But I was always so fearful because of several past experiences where I cut my hair and hated it and internally vowed to never chop the hair again. I always said I wanted to be the grandma with long gray hair. Well, I do have a small gray streak but I'm not gonna wait until I'm a grandma...I waited way too long to be a mom making the wait for grandmotherhood too far away. I'd rather have my sanity! So here's the new do. It's way easier and I like it! I was going to wait to tell people but I fear I will slip and divulge the info accidentally while on the phone and spoil the surprise I was anticipating at our August trip to Oregon. Oh well! Whatever!

And I like your blog header - haven't noticed it until now. So cute and very creative.

Good luck staying off of dairy!
