Lydia's allergy

By -
Poor little lydia is very allergic to cow's milk. Within an hour of giving her milk yesterday for the first time we noticed severe fussiness and hives all over which went on to diarrhea and dry heaving. She still has hives today. They say that it is the most common allergy in children and that most kids outgrow it by age 3. I hope it is closer to age 1!

Poor little lady! But wasn't she eating cheese and things like crackers made with milk without problem?

One of my nephews is allergic to milk - and any thing with milk in it (chocolate, cheese - all the good things in life!). And he still is... I think he's 11 or 12.

Poor girl! That's not fun to deal with when you should be celebrating your 1st birthday in two days.

Oh no! There is soy milk, or rice milk. Hopefully she's fine with one of those until she grows out of it.

Your Aunt Anne can't do milk either...but she has gotten used to soy milk, and hey, Lydia won't have to know she is missing anything besides formula. Bummer, though!

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
