Yes! Maddox has his first tooth!! It is the left bottom one. After 2 agonizing months, it finally broke through a few days ago! We had 2 days of relief, but then today the other one started bothering him. Poor guy. He'll just push his face into the floor and try to bite it while crying. Then he'll lay down on the floor and push all the toys away from him and whimper and cry. Or he will chew on our chairs. It is a sad thing to see.
I brought him in yesterday for lab work to see if he was allergic to bananas, apples, carrots, peaches or broccoli and they all came back negative!!! Hooray!! But I don't know what was causing the crust on his head or the yucky diapers....although the diapers could have been from the teething...hmmm...
The lab work did confirm his coconut allergy though. I was hoping it was just a contact allergy so I could eat macaroons this winter and have meals made with coconut milk. sigh. We'll see how much longer I can keep up the nursing. I may have to stop when he is a year old. This restricted diet is getting to be a bit much.
I have a cookbook being sent to me from interlibrary loan for food allergies. I can't wait to get it. I have tried one recipe out of the book (it was posted online), and it was EASY and GOOD. 2 big requirements!!
I'll post more later (tonight or tomorrow) about Mason and homeschool and such.
