We took him back to allergist this week for more allergy testing. He's still really allergic to milk and almonds. And as we suspected, he's allergic to avocado. Banana didn't show up this time, so we're going to very carefully let him try it. Banana and avocado allergies and linked and are similar to latex allergy, which we think he may have too. The clams didn't show up, but we wouldn't test that one out anyway since he's so young. He did have a slight allergy to egg, which confirms why he threw-up a few weeks ago after having a bit of egg and a slight allergy to rice, though he's always done ok with rice, so we'll keep an eye on that too. The most fun part about his egg allergy is that we get to take him back to the allergist for flu shot testing to see if/how he can get the flu shot, that will be fun!
His allergies have really been a blessing in disguise for the whole family. We buy a lot more organic or locally grown foods now; including meat, veggies and fruit. And we generally cook from scratch. So we're all eating a lot healthier and we really only cook what he can eat.
He's a very happy baby and we're excited to celebrate his first birthday a month from now!
They were bright green and yellow froggie flip flops. He remembered that Maddie and AnnaBell had flip flops so he wanted a pair too. I found a box with his size and let him try them on. I figured once I started to put them on his feet he'd balk. Nope, not the slightest, he loved them. When we got to the checkout I had the lady scan them to see if they were on sale. Roo took one of them off and I figured he was done and didn't want them anymore. Nope, he said that he wanted to buy them and was giving it to me to have the lady take the security tag off. So now, just as fall is hitting and it's getting cooler out, Roo has a fab new pair of froggie flip flops. I can just see him wearing them in the snow now! I'll have to tell him that Maddie and Annabell wear sneakers too, maybe that'll be the trick with shoes!
