Nathan safe foods


Nathan eating his coconut milk yogurt.

I was so excited to find some coconut milk yogurt today at Huckleberries! Nathan was quite excited too. He talked about the yogurt all night and kept asking just to make sure: "It's Nathan safe right?"
He's never been able to eat any kind of yogurt, so this is great! He loved it. It's quite full of sugar and fat so it was pretty good.

On another Nathan related note, we had a pretty bad reaction to cow's milk today.

We were walking out of the grocery store. Nathan tripped and landed in a puddle of milk. Can you believe that?

The poor little guy not only scraped up his elbows and knees, but got milk all over his hands. Then, since he was crying, he rubbed his hands into his eyes.

Well, his face started swelling. His eyes were swelled and he broke into hives all over his little face. It was horrible! He was crying and screaming and wouldn't let us give him any Benadryl.

When we wiped the milk off his face and hands, he started to improve, but it was just one more reminder of the bad things milk does to him on the outside. It scares me to think what would happen if he actually ingests any milk! That's why we always have an Epi-pen on hand.

In a few weeks, we're going to have 4 different kinds of milk in our fridge. Isn't that funny? Whole milk for Elizabeth. 2% for Jeremy (he prefers it creamy). 0% for me (I prefer it thin). Oat milk for Nathan.

WOW!!! You are a crazy milk family, too!

I was so sad to hear about Nathan's allergic reaction! What are the odds that he falls into milk?!? Poor kid.

I love that he keeps asking if the yogurt is Nathan safe. Sounds like Gracie saying, "I don't like peanut butter."

Love looking through your pictures! Keep them coming! :) LE

Oh my goodness! What a scare. It's a good thing Nathan has such a prepared Mommy to look after him. Poor guy.

 Jeremy and Nathan went up to Ellensburg for a bonfire. Elizabeth was really sick and I stayed home with her. Jeremy took a few photos. Nath...
