2 Months!

This cute chunky monkey is 2 months old already.  I took her to her 2-month checkup the other day and she's a whopping 14 lbs. 4 oz. (95th percentile) and she's above the chart again on height.

For those wondering about my diet, I am 100% off of dairy.  I've been off a lot of dairy for a long time, but the pediatrician suggested I go completely off.  No butter, cheese, sour cream, milk, etc.  Don't pity me though.  It is SO WORTH having a dream baby.  I've never had a baby so happy and content at this age and seeing as she was the complete opposite before I ditched the dairy, it's the only thing I can attribute it to.  I'm enjoying trying things I hadn't eaten before - so far I'm loving Almond Milk with granola for breakfast and even to make pancakes and waffles (some recipes work better than others).  And who knew pizza without cheese is still super delicious?  I for one did not.  We also made chocolate ice cream using coconut milk last weekend and holy cow it was soooo good.  I'm also trying to mostly avoid citrus because she seems to get fussy again when I have a lot.

In other news, we signed a lease on a house in Portland!!!  Yippee!  We'd been looking for a couple weeks on Craigslist and getting a little discouraged not finding what we were looking for (most stuff was too big/nice/expensive or an apartment) and then this gem popped up and we were so excited!  It's a little less than we thought we'd have to spend, but still has everything we were looking for - 3 bedroom, 2 bath, FENCED BACK YARD!!!, nice neighborhood, KITCHEN COUNTERS!!!, laundry room, garage, etc.  So I called on it and the landlord sent me a bunch more pictures over the next couple days and then Jeremy's cousin's husband's brother's wife went and looked at it for us! Haha, crazy connection.  I had talked to her on the phone before and texted her a few times about areas and she was so nice to offer to go check it out.  She went and loved it and said we better snatch that up so we did!  We feel very blessed to have found something so quickly.  Jeremy's company would have paid for us to fly out there to look, but it's so far over there and we wouldn't have been able to go for another couple weeks, so this is great.  Our least starts June 1st!  Oh boy!
