The Worst is over?

I stopped drinking milk 2 weeks ago and perhaps now we are reaping the benefits. Today was a landmark day. Vivian was awake for almost 3 hours with no crying and screaming - only fussed when she wanted to be held. But she was alert and looking around, fixing her eyes on things around her, watching Sophie and Nate play together and being generally pleasant. It was weird.

We went out to dinner, and she was awake in the carseat, quiet, looking around. We are just not used to her being awake, not held, and not crying.

I think she might even be starting to smile a little! She gets fussy when her bowels move and seems to be distressed when she has a dirty diaper on. Sophie never seemed to care if her diaper was dirty or not. (even at 2 she barely cares!)
