Where has the Time Gone?

I am still trying to figure out what I have done over the past few Months! It seems like such a blur! Both Ansley and Justus have changed so much. Ansley is starting to look more like a Toddler than a baby. I can not believe that in less than 2 months she will be 2 years old. She is talking so much. Something are very easy to understand other things she says I can understand but others may not. But she is getting there.
Justus is getting very big the last time we had him at the doctor he weighed 13lbs 8oz. He goes back December 26th so I am anxious to see how much he weighs then. He is starting to Grab things and he loves to watch TV. If the TV is own he watches it constantly. I know that is not all that great but he loves to watch Ansley's cartoons with her.
Justus has now been switched to Progestimil. Progestimil is a formula sort of like Nutramigen but more refined. It is for babies with a Fat Mal-Absorption Disorder. He was having a bowl movement after every feeding and they were pretty bad. The Formula has helped this out a whole lot. His Acid reflux was better but it was still pretty bad at night. So he is now on prevacid twice a day. 7 1/2 mg in the morning and 7 1/2 mg in the evening.
He is very sensitive to Dairy and Soy. We have to constantly wash our hands during the day so that we do not touch his mouth, hands or paci with our hands that may still have dairy or soy on them. I had noticed that is his Paci or something got touched before we washed our hands after eating something that he would start getting sick and spitting up. His diaper revealed the problem. So since we wash our hands like crazy now he is doing much better!
We have an appointment to take Justus to Dr.Devoid a Pediatric GI Specialist at the end of this month. If there are any cancellations they will call and schedule us sooner. Maybe we will get one sooner, b/c the sooner the better!
