Hives

Ayden woke me up at 5:40 this morning. I was mad but then he said that he was itchy! I looked over at him and his whole body was covered in hives. He gets them often but this time I had an idea of what caused them. All day we ate regular foods nothing out of the ordinary except before they went to bed we had to run over to Home Depot and the boys wanted some Starburst Candy. SO they ate them on the ride home and went straight to bed. Anyways, I took him to see Dr. Naylor this morning and he thinks that Ayden is probably allergic to one of the dyes used in foods. Now, I have to take him over to the allergy specialist and have him tested, he is NOT going to like this!

Our Little Sumo Wrestler

Anderson had his 12 month check up today. It's no secret that he loves himself some food or ALL food if you want me to be honest, but at his last appointment, he actually was only in the 10th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. Not making him that big, although he looked it. But this appointment gave us proof of his future career: Baby J the Sumo Wrestler! He came in at 25th percentile for height (which we are happy that he moved up a little) and 90th percentile for weight! Doctor Naylor was funny about it he said, "What kind of milk does he drink?" I said, "One bottle of breast milk and the rest is whole milk." To which he replied, "Yeah, he probably doesn't NEED whole milk, I think he would do just fine with.....(thinking).....skim?" HAHA Poor little guy...He CAN'T drink whole milk if he wants to.
