So after thinking yesterday about the whole "casein in breastmilk" thing, today I decided to not let Daniel nurse all day. Sure enough, he did much better today: more interactive, more talkative, better eye-contact, and he ate more. He did do a lot of begging, but at least I know that it is the casein more than the gluten that is effecting him.
In other news, we are going on vacation in less than a week so I started working on the menu for that. At least our condo has a kitchen and we do not have to eat out every single meal, but I already know it is going to be hard. We love to eat out at the beach, so I tried to make a menu full of fancy things like steak, shrimp, and grilled fish so we will not miss the restaurants. But, I know we will. Oh, and the lovely Donut Hole. What a fantastic tradition of picking up a dozen random donuts and eating them all in one afternoon! Sheesh, now I am making myself depressed. My birthday will also be celebrated there so I am getting my mom to pick up a GF cake at Truly Free Bakery. They have a fabulous assortment of cakes and breads so I will be looking over their menu this weekend to make my selection!!
