Awww, I'm glad you and Akari are doing well! :)

I'm sorry she's showing colicky symptoms, though. :( I've heard the same thing about dairy. My family hasn't actually had dairy in a year and a half--we switched to soy after my doctor said I (and Arwen) might be allergic to it, and after doing a lot of research on milk and how it's processed. We still eat mac and cheese from a box, and goldfish cheese crackers, but that's about it. It cut out a LOT of stomach problems, among other things.

You're doing an awesome job--I hope you get some rest and that Akari feels better.
