Curdled milk

Indio has been spitting up something fierce for the past 2 days. It can occur directly following a feeding session or hours later when logic tells you that anything he consumed at the last feed must have been digested. The latter form of spit up is the lovely, curdled kind that smells like sour milk and gets caught in the folds of his neck.

I have no idea if this is due to what I'm eating, but I've decided to cut dairy out of my diet because apparently that is the biggest culprit of upset baby tummies. I love dairy. In all forms. Lattes. Cheese. Ice cream. Milk on cereal. I drink at least 2 cups of tea (don't worry, they're decaf--I wouldn't subject my son to unnecessary caffeine!) a day. Do I have to cut out the little bit of milk I put in my tea too? Gah. He better stop spitting up if I'm going to sacrifice dairy.

3 bedroom, 2 bath

Two days back in the Fort. Feel a bit out of sorts after being in TO for 2 weeks. But feeling really good about our upcoming transfer to the Great White North. We have a house, albeit a rental, but in Toronto proper, not the boonies! A good friend of mine has offered her in-laws place in midtown Toronto for a ridiculously low rent while we get ourselves settle in the city. The house is a great 3-bedroom, 2-kitchen [in traditional Italian fashion] semi-detached house in the neighbourhood in Corso Italia.

In the morning.
I'm not sleeping because I thought Indio, my 10-week old son, would wake up and need to be fed so why sleep only to be woken up? Funny, he has been soundly sleeping since midnight. 3 hrs of lost sleep. Why don't I sleep now, you ask? Because my sweet child just woke up and is screaming his little lungs out and now I have to feed him.
