No Peanuts!

The results are in. Ethan is definitely allergic to peanuts. Now, we have to change the way we eat and be very careful about what he eats. We hope that he will outgrow it, but we'll just have to wait and see. I guess we will not be able to enjoy peanut butter sandwiches together in the future. We will have to stick with oreo cookies then :)

Happy Father's Day!

Ethan thought of a great idea and gave daddy a nice present for Father's Day. I think daddy loves it. We also took daddy out to dinner at Shimogamo for some yummie Japanese food. It was enjoyed by all.

Food Allergy

Ethan broke out in hives a few days ago. His eyes got really puffy and red as well. It was all on the face and nowhere else. After a few doses of Benadryl and a Dr's visit, he is back to normal. Eventhough he looked very puffy, he was acting like his usual self. We're not sure what he ate, but we're suspecting he is allergic to peanuts even though he was not fed any peanut butter, but the bread probably came into contact with some.


He got a blood test done and we're waiting for the results to see what he is allergic to. He was such a trooper when getting his blood drawn. He didn't really cry at all! We were all so proud of him. He got a sticker for being such a good sport.

Road Trip

We decided to get away from Phoenix and go to California (San Diego/Long Beach/LA) for Memorial weekend. We all had a nice time. Ethan enjoyed meeting Colin, Uncle David and Aunty Su for the first time. He also liked hanging out at the Santa Monica Pier chasing after the pigeons. The car ride was not too bad. Ethan napped and enjoyed his music and Baby Einstein DVD.

Yummie...

Ethan is starting to self feed with a spoon. I just need to let him do that and not worry about the mess he makes. I think he is left-handed even though he can eat with both hands.

Happy Mother's Day!

This special day was celebrated at the Dish Market. It is a great place for brunch and a nice lunch. The market has lots of different yummie items from gourmet cheeses to made-to-order salads and sandwiches. We will be back for sure to try other items on the menu. Hope all moms had a nice Mother's Day!

Splash!

Ethan enjoyed his first time in the pool. He didn't want to get in the little float at first, but finally he got in and was cruising along around the pool. He also loved to splash the water. I guess we'll be in the pool a lot this summer. Get ready for the sunblock!
