Mallory reading

I have great news: Mallory is not allergic to MILK!!! We put her on a milk/dairy free diet for 2 weeks and figured out that she isn't allergic to milk. On the other had she still has her mouth rash...which I'm starting to determine is just eczema. I'm treating it w/ hydrocortisone cream and will eventually try tea tree oil to see if that helps. I think the reason why it flares up when she eats is because of her saliva. So right now no other allergies besides wheat and peanuts. I'm so glad she isn't allergic to milk because that eliminated a lot of things she could eat. She has lost almost a pound in the 2 weeks she's been off milk/dairy...I'm looking forward to getting my pot belly girl back.

Mallory had her 1st peanut butter and jelly sandwich the other day...of course it was soybutter and gluten free bread. But it was a very exciting milestone for us. I can't wait to give her a grilled cheese sandwich.















Sticky fingers want to touch the camera















We are very fortunate to have stores that provide gluten free products. If this would have been 30 years ago she probably would have been on a vegetarian diet. She loves spaghetti...as you can tell















Our little reader. I love how she crosses her legs. It made me tear up last night when I was watching her read cause it was so cute. When I read to her I point things out in the book...so when she is reading she points at things and gets very expressive. It's so cute.




















Aunt Becca had her 1st Homecoming last weekend. She was very pretty.















The whole group. There were 14 all together. They rented a limo and went out to eat together.















Becca, Mal and Nana Barb




















Josh, Becca and Aaron...they pulled her date aside and gave him "the talk"



















Our reader...I just hope she keeps this up while she is in school.
