Sullivan is now four months and a couple weeks old, can now roll over from his tummy to his back (only when he feels like it, of course), and talks and interacts a ton more. He has also gotten his first trip to the emergency room under his belt; we had to go there on Easter Sunday. We are starting to transition him to formula from breastmilk, and -- to make a long story short -- Sullivan is apparently allergic to milk-based formula, because when he drank it he got a red rash all over his body and little blisters in all of his "hot zones," like his neck and wrist fat rolls. This was a scary thing for Gabe and me to see, resulting in the emergency room visit. The good news is that the rash went away by itself -- and pretty quickly at that! -- but we are now working on getting Sullivan to like the soy-based formula and drinking 100% of the time from the bottle. We should have him over to the formula 100% by the time I go back to work the middle of May.
Yikes. I have to go back to work in the middle of May! Although this has been the longest I've ever had off from something like school or working my whole life, it's still weird to think I'll be back to work in less than a month. Sully and I are going to have to get out and have some fun in our last remaining days together.
