Problem solved..... update to the allergic reaction

Well, I figured out the problem, or should I say the cause of Kyle's allergic reaction

I bought this SOY cheese out of the non-dairy section at Fred Meyer. Reading the label it OBVIOUSLY is called SOY and it says "alternative" on the front too, so who would have thought that some idiot manufacturer of a SOY product would put milk in this SOY cheese???

I am thankful he only ate two small dime-size pieces of it or this could have been so much worse! I have been a very careful label reader but this one got me!

Can you say "ALLERGIC REACTION"?

Well, today just after lunch Kyle decided to react to something.....

not quite sure what it could be since he had nothing different or new to eat.

He has an allergy to milk but I am certain he had NOTHING with dairy in it
These pictures are taken at the Doctors office with my phone so they aren't very good but you can see that both of his eyes are quite swollen

So, a dose of benedryl later we are headed home for a long winters nap

AH..... finally a partial smile

The easter hat

On Saturday, while I met up with some friends from school, Aunt Keri and her fiance Charlie watched Kyle for me.

She took him to Target and although I shouldn't have been surprised, this is the picture she sent to my phone letting me know he was doing great!

Looks like he was having a fun time but....... Maybe she needs to be reminded that he is a BOY!

Kyle's first Merry-go-round ride

Our mall put in a merry-go-round and since Kyle had been so patient while Mommy and Aunt Keri shopped we decided to see how he would do on the horse

At first he was a bit scared but by the third spin around he was loving it!

He was laughing each time we went around and Aunt Keri was there

As I expected, he put up a good fight about getting off of the merry-go-round but I can only stay dizzy so long

Another big boy haircut!

Kyle got his third haircut today! He had a much better experience, partially because he was able to hold a BALLOON! He was tired as well and he actually almost fell asleep

He was so proud of himself with his new haircut!
The balloon had to go to balloon heaven before we got in the car though because it had more hair stuck to it than Kyle did ;o)

Another day of random things.....

We started off the day with Kyle crawling into the pack n play from the bed..... and he proceeded to "tell me" why he is safe in there and that I shouldn't be telling him to get back on the bed

Then, in his bath, he lined up a few friends and was telling me ALL about them
Oh, and then the glorious nap time. Look at those LIPS!


Then, when I was trying to cook dinner, he decided to use the pots and pans drawer as a seat! Again, telling me that he is O.K. in there

I don't think I have to explain to anyone why, at the end of the day, I am SO tired

My silly Valentine

Kyle got a red heart balloon when we were at the store today....

I don't think he let go of it ALL day!

He ate with it, played with it and even went night night with it
