The Toops Boys: February 2009

We have some answers and a tooth!!

Well our eczema drama continues. Many of you know we have had some major issues with Cameron's face. He has sever eczema that was believed to being caused by some allergies. We went to an allergist today, had some test drawn and got some answers. Cameron is officially allergic / sensitive to cows milk and peanuts. I have been avoiding them when we first had a blood test that suspected this, but now it is a whole new level. I will now (and Cameron eventually) need to completely avoid all dairy related items. Anything that has milk products or milk by-products. We have been connected to allergy free organizations and groups. I will now learn to cook, dairy free. Oh what fun we are having here!! The allergist does not believe we will be dealing with any shock conditions and hopefully we will be able to out grow these allergies at some time. Many infants out grow milk allergies and 2/3 individuals outgrow peanut allergies by 16!! We will keep you posted on our new milk free lifestyle. On a good note, we got a tooth!! Front left side!!

You can never have too many toys.

Nathan caught Gabe emptying out the upstairs toy box. At least he put it away eventually.

Bath time fun

n

We just had to get a new toy for Cameron after his terrible day at the allergist. He thought he would like a duck bath. ( He is to big for the bath sling and to small for the bath seat. ) Gabe had to try it out for him too. The duck even quacks. Bath time just got so much more fun!

Lowery Park Zoo

We went to Lowery Park Zoo with Grandma Laura when we were in Florida. It was a zoo the we had gone to as children, so it was fun to go with Gabe and Cameron. Gabe got to feed a giraffe with mommy, touch a stingray with daddy, and ride a camel with daddy.
