Oh the cuteness!

Look at my precious and adorable little guy. I know I am bias, but he has got to be the cutest baby in the whole world. Seriously! Isn't he gorgeous?
So, I think Izzy is allergic to carrots. Isn't that strange? I attempted to feed him some carrots last week. That night he developed a rash on his cheek and neck. The next day the rash was gone. I didn't feed him solids for a few days, and he seemed fine. On Monday I fed him carrots again. That night he developed a rash on his forehead. But this time, the rash didn't go away. My poor little guy still has a nasty little rash on his forehead.

In addition to the rash, Izzy also woke up many times on Monday night. Each time he woke up, he SCREAMED and SCREAMED. Although I hurried into his room at the slightest peep, he was obviously very distressed. Poor little guy.

So, has your child experienced allergies to specific foods? If so, what were the symptoms?

Stream of Consciousness: Part 16

Porgie will be going to the pediatric cardiologist tomorrow. Because our health insurance sucks ass, we only had two options for doctors - one was about 10 minutes from my house and the other was about an hour away from my house. I had originally made her appointment with the doctor who is located 10 minutes from our house. But it turned out that they were incompetent assholes, so we are making the hour long trek tomorrow. The appointment is going to screw up lunch time and nap time. Ugh.

For the past few days, I have been eating non stop. I am always hungry. I think I have worms. On second thought, maybe I am just fat.
__________

It turns out that Izzy hates pureed foods, but loves actual solid foods. So far he has eaten pasta, tortillas, rice, star puffs, and wagon wheels. I am kind of baffled. Should I just skip pureed foods? I know baby-led weaning is an option. Maybe I need to do a little reading on the topic.

I took the kids to the Aquarium last Friday. It was such an awesome day. Instead of putting her in the stroller, I let Porgie walk around with me. She was sooooooo good. And I never heard a peep out of little Izzy. It was one of those days, where I felt like an awesome mother. I wish everyday felt like that.

My little Izzy Whizzy Woo slept through the night for the first time on Friday, June 6, 2008. I was so proud of him. I put him to bed at 7:30 pm and he slept until 7:30 am. Isn't that amazing? Unfortunately, it has not happened since. In fact, he woke up 4 times last night. I think his tummy was bothering him, because woke up screaming bloody murder.

We are in the middle of a heat wave here in New Jersey. For the past three day, the temperatures have come dangerously close to 100 degrees. I am not ready for summer yet. It has been so damn hot, I don't even want to take the babies outside. Damn stupid global warming.
__________

I am considering enrolling Porgie in a preschool program this fall. Every time I think about it, I get a little teary eyed. Is my baby actually old enough to go to preschool?

Party

Porgie's party was very cute. We had a paw print cake...

The icing didn't turn out right, but I assure you that it was delicious.

We had balloons...

Porgie adores balloons. I think she liked the balloons more than her actual presents.

We had party hats...


Porgie decided to wear her hat on her foot. She is cool like that.

The party was cute. I think all of the little guests had a good times. And everyone liked my cake! I was so proud of my baking skills.

We purchased Porgie a few presents for her Birthday. First, we bought her an Elmo table and chair set (and the Tickle Me Elmo sitting in the chair on the left). Too cute...
And a new easel for her beloved cullies...
Saturday was a happy day for my sweet baby girl. And if she is happy, I am happy.
