REALLY? (nervous, weird, wow, exciting but weird)





Pic # 1 = I could not get a picture of Laney wearing it at her doctors appointment because she was glued to my hip. It was a new allergist/immunologist we saw (who by the way is out of this world awesome, love him) and she had a tight grip on me. There was no way she was letting go so I could get my camera out.

Pic # 2 = After we got home looking very proudly at her arm where she had 6 allergy tests where she did not cry once.  She said OUCH! Momma that nurse lady hurt mine arm.

OK this is where the Really (nervous, weird, wow, exciting but weird news comes in).  Laney is gradually outgrowing her milk allergy and we can start a slow, monitored reintroduction of some milk products.  It has been almost 2 years of milk free and reading every label and bringing her own food everywhere and making special meals and just plain living milk free so I was like Really OK I am nervous, this is weird, wow this is exciting but weird.  Of course the doctor gave us a boatload of info (to much to go into here).  Some good news, some news to be careful of and we will be keeping a log and monitoring her closely but at almost 3 she is gradually outgrowing her milk allergy!!

So we thought 1 bite of pizza with cheese would be a nice photo op.  Well it is a cute photo but she would not touch her lips to it.  No cheese on pizza Laney allergic she said.  So Daddy had the leftover pizza for a few days (no complaints from him on that one).

Chicken and Pasta  OK this is better.  She did not eat the chicken because it had breading on it (she has never had breaded chicken before only grilled or baked) but the pasta oh yes she ate that saying "where Laney soy butter Momma?  It melted on mine pasta". So introduction # 1 no special butter for a taste test.

Yum Bread and Butter out to eat  - she liked this new event.

Momma is going to let Laney have a few tastes of dessert -  happy girl

OK she could get used to this.  I had to eat it so fast so she would only get a few bites and we could take it slow.  WOOOOOOOOO she is just like her Momma lovin the chocolate! So introduction # 2 no special chocolate for a taste test.

 

All in all neat news.  We will see what the days ahead bring and try to embrace change gradually and slowly. Oh and she got weighed and measured so I updated the growth chart to the left of the main blog page OH growing girl ;)

****update**** Ok the above all happened on 3-16-11 and now it is 3-21-11 and honestly she does not like most of her new taste tests and many of them don't like her either!!  We were told to expect some  issues and we are seeing those.   OH my sweet girl! Baby steps, baby steps we will take baby steps ;)
