The Culprits

Well it is official we have found out that Gracelyn is allergic to milk, eggs and bananas so far.. Our doc tested her last week for a panel of 20 items and these 3 popped up. Monday we are headed to the allergist to see if there is anything else. I figured that since we were giving up our most favorite item(milk) that we must give up the container we were receiving it in. The first few days were terrible but I think we are finally over the hump. Gracelyns back to normal and no more projectile vomitting, skin rashes or a tummy aches. Last month she tested negative for milk so I continued to give it to her. The one thing that helped her consume calories was the culprit that was making her so sick. Now we know for sure and I am ready to be a label reader!

Bye Bye bottles!!

Baba or no Baba.. that is the question

Gracelyn just loves her bottle and I know we are getting to the point of not having them anymore. Not by her choice but what pediatricians, Md's and every parenting book on the shelf recommends. Is it me just wanting to keep her a baby?? Yes and the fact that she completely is obsessed with them. I have never seen a kid get more excited to have a bottle in my entire life. The blankie and her baba are all she needs to put a smile on her face.

My mom tells me that this was the exact way I was with mine. I eventually gave them up right?? I am sure she will too but all in her own time!
