The start of another week without daddy

Daddy's out of town again this week. It sort of feels like he was just gone but not really because that was a month ago right before we moved, when we were at the old place... now it's the 1st time daddy's been gone since we've lived at the new house. Mommy's a bit fried. This is the 1st time she's spent extensive time on the internet catching up since being at the new place (besides doing needed research & household items). Blog catching up, photo downloading... We need to post lots of photos. We have a lot of fun photos & videos mommy finally downloaded - about a month's worth on the point & shoot. That'll have to wait b/c mommy still has a lot of stuff on her to do list.

Hannah's been sleeping well, and last night she slept super well. I think she's finally adjusting to the new place. Her appetite has finally returned the past week and especially this weekend. She wasn't eating especially well since before the move. The sickness didn't help and neither did the allergic reaction. Yesterday she ate a ton of solid bite-sized pieces of food. I packed her full with 3 really solid meals. We've been really limited on the foods that she can eat though. No wheat, no corn, no eggs cuts out a LOT - including baby food that has corn starch as a thickener. No Cheerios, no breads and and most baked goods, basically quick foods or any processed foods. Last week she had Yo-Baby and loves it. We've been feeding almost one to her everyday. It's really great that she's been eating so well - even with the limitations! We've been feeding her foods I prepare: peas, carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, beans, soy, soy chips, oats/oatmeal, and other basic food items.

She's also had many bowel movements. Though I dunno if it's the antibiotic she's been on (10-day supply that ended on the 14th). She's been pooping almost after every meal...multiple
times a day - not the traditional once in the morning on the toilet. It's been a bunch and in the diaper. Sometimes solid, sometimes not. I'm glad we've been feeding her yogurt - need to replenish the flora in her system and get her regulated.
