Isadora's 9 Month Visit

Last week Isadora had her 9 month well visit.  Can't believe she's almost 10 months!  The time flies, doesn't it?  Sarah and her girls visited yesterday.  She has a 7 week old and it is unbelievable how small she is!  Even holding her felt strange to me and it wasn't THAT long ago that Isadora was a newie.  Crazy.

Anyway, she had a great visit and she is doing well; hitting all her milestones.  I feel like she's a tank, but she is totally normal.

Her stats were:
Height: 26 and 3/4 inches (16th percentile)
Weight: 19 pounds 5.5 ounces (51st percentile)
Head: 44.2 centimeters (50th percentile)

We, of course, talked to the pediatrician about the dairy allergy.  Per him, if there is an allergy to have, a dairy allergy is it.  I've done some research myself, but he thinks probably 75%-80% of kids grow out of their dairy allergy.  That was great news.  I called the allergist to find out how bad Isadora's allergy is and they said it's a 3-4 on a scale of 1-4.  Boo.

Thanks to everyone who has given us dairy-free/vegan ideas (thanks Nicole for your comment on my last blog entry!).  I'm constantly on the lookout and search for blogs, websites, recipes, products, etc. that are dairy free/vegan.  So far we've made vegan pancakes, cookies (made out of chick peas) and today Lincoln and I are going to try our hand at dairy-free chocolate zucchini muffins.

Kirk and I took a trip last week to Whole Foods on a hunt for dairy free items.  We had some luck.  We've been told you get used to it and not eating dairy becomes a way of life.  I'm ready for that day because checking every package for dairy is getting old.

We are keeping busy hanging with friends and really enjoying summer.  When did it become almost August?!
