lather rinse repeat...
This is the story of my day.
Pull the basket of bibs and towels out of cupboard.
Scatter around kitchen.
Momma picks up mess.
Repeat.
Outside Fun
With our weather being so up and down lately, we'll find ourselves a great day to go outside and play. Maggie wanted to pick one of the pansies (what a girl!) and wear it in her ear. She's so precious.
Our inauguration day
After turning 1 years old, Maggie's pediatrician said it's time to test Maggie officially on her milk allergy. Warning: sad pictures coming up...
The whole experience was awful but here are a couple especially sad ones.
They did the tests on her back, and they basically prick the skin with the allergens. After they do the pricks, you can't touch the back for 15 minutes (you don't want to smear the pricks). Poor Maggie just wanted to be cuddled and loved. I did my best! The picture above was after they did the pricks. It was such a sad story.
This is what her back looked like about half way through. The top red spot was the ''control' spot, all the other pricks were the allergens, and you can notice the big ol red one- that is her milk. It actually got about twice as big as that, thus proving her allergy to milk. Thankfully she is not allergic to anything else like wheat, corn, nuts, soy.... But we got an epipen and are locked and loaded for any milk incidents.
We've been on the quest for recipes that are milk free and if anyone has some great ones, let me know!!! We'll keep you posted on any new allergies, the doctor said to go back in one year for more pricks to see if possibly it will go away. Let's cross our fingers that it will!!

Maggie's 1st Birthday
Happy Birthday our dearest Maggie Grace! How unbelievable that a whole year has passed that you have been in our little family.
The day you were born so many people were excited to see you! You came and did not disappoint. So peaceful, calm, precious and adorable. You loved being held and we loved snuggling you all day long.
Thankfully, you caught onto a schedule quickly and was sleeping and eating like a champ. You were turning into a big girl right before our eyes. Rolling over was no big deal (even if you only like rolling over to the left!!) and sitting up was so cute.
Now you love to crawl all over the house. Walking isn't far off. And talking is non-stop. I can't stand how cute you are when you are reading yourself to sleep in your crib or singing/talking to yourself in the mornings.
You are so beautiful and as Daddy would say "You're 1 years old, but you don't look a day past 10 months!" Keep up that beauty regiment!! We hope you had a fun birthday with all your family and friends who love you so much. To our Princess, We Love You!!!
Maggie got 3 tutu outfits for her birthday and will be coordinating her tutu to her shoes now. Wonderful!
Making a big cake is so overrated... or at least for this year. It was the year of the cupcakes, and boy I made a ton. We practiced for 3 straight days blowing candles, singing Happy Birthday, and eating cake. With all the practice, there were no tears when we sang to her! Yay!
She's wishing for another awesome year! And we couldn't be blessed with such great friends who love our baby girl almost as much as we love her!
