New Rowie Words

Here are the latest new Rowie words:

Shees = Cheese

Cek = Cake

Toes = Toast and Toes

Mommy = Bunny

Ongey = Hungry

Kiki = Blankie

Konkey = Monkey

And lately, I've noticed the bigger the car, the louder the word. A sedan just gets a "cah" but a bus gets a loud, musical "CAAA-UUUUHH!!!"

We are still also on the fan kick. The following items have been mistaken for a fan in our house: a fish, a spiderweb picture, a flower, the chandelier, and my favorite - Fitty's shirt which has a radial sun-like design on it. Rowan actually reached up and tried to spin the picture one morning. Silly little tot.

Tatts by Mom

A little tattoo fun, or should I say big tattoo fun? I had to do each of the letters idividually, it took about 40 minutes, but man, the kid was stoked.

Sleepy Eater

Sometimes Rowan decides he doesn't need to nap at daycare. Here is the result. Gotta give him credit for being able to multi-task. I mean, can you eat an apple and sleep at the same time?

More Allergy News

Welcome to the world of allergy testing, where nothing makes sense.

So we went in yesterday for a skin test to confirm a negative result for egg and sesame. They also decided that while we were there, they might as well double check soy and dairy. The skin test came back negative for sesame and SOY, slightly positive for egg and very positive for dairy. Now we need to go back for yet another round of tests: the food challenge. This is where the allergic person tries the allergen in a "controlled" environment. First a dab on the skin, then on the lips, then on the tongue, eating a small amount, progressing to trying more and more. It takes about 3 hours each time, and we need to go twice (once for egg, once for soy). Seems like a pain, but then we will know for sure! Keep your fingers crossed!

Obamicons

This is highly addictive, have you tried it yet?

Allergy News

Good and Bad news on the Allergy front, but mostly good and encouraging.

Bad News first: A new allergy: peas - dang! He finally started to like them!

Good News: Negative for Egg and Sesame. He goes in for a skin test next week to confirm.
Soy is borderline, dairy went down, peanut went down but is still high.

Every year I pray to God that we get one back, this time we got two (we'll know for sure next week!) Here's to a real breakfast for Aidan and non-hockey puck baked goods!

Overheard #5

Fitty, commenting on Rowan's Lust for Cheese:

"You sure love cheese, what are you, a Packer's fan?"

Rowan (pointing at the ceiling and looking for one):

"OOOOOHHHHH FEEEOOOONN!"
