Allergies

The doctor just called and our suspicions were correct. This unlucky little fellow (who loves his blanky so dearly) is allergic to milk, eggs, almonds, and peanuts. The milk and peanuts we were already pretty sure about. Eggs and almonds were a total surprise. What do you feed a one year old that can't eat cheese, peanut butter sandwiches, or scrambled eggs? Oh and even though he's not allergic to it, he doesn't like lunch meat.

We had an appointment with Josh's doctor yesterday so she could give us a demonstration on how to use the epi-pen and she gave us a prescription for two of them. And we have an appointment with an allergist on April 14th. Bleh...

Part-ay!

Josh's birthday party was pretty awesome! The weather was beautiful, tons of family came for the big event, and the cake was amazing. I do believe Josh became a little spoiled over the weekend, what with all the attention he got and the crap-load of presents he recieved. I don't think I'll make any more of his parties so extravagent but this was a big one so that's how I justify it. We barbequed at the park down the street because our house is just not big enough to hold so many people. And the cake - AMAZING.

Remember how I said the cake was amazing twice? Well, that's because it really was. Diego made everything on top out of pastillage. Did I spell that right? All the animals, the trees, the rocks he made. The water was made out of piping gel and tinted blue. The dirt is cocoa powder and sugar. Diego's dad made the whole cake and decorated and frosted the side. It was lemon flavored with a whip cream and lemon icing (joshy couldn't eat it though, because of his weird dairy allergy so he had to have a yellow cupcake with chocolate icing - also made by grandpa). He also made the adorable little mini cupcakes with little frosting elephants sitting on top. I wish I got a close-up of one of those.

1 year old!

Is he really one year old today? My baby's becoming a big boy! This past year was the best year of my life by far. I'm so sad he's not tiny anymore but so happy that he's healthy, and perfect, and right on track. Birthday party's on Saturday so more pictures to come!

Happy Birthday big boy!
