Acute urticaria
- more commonly known as hives
- currently found all over my baby!
Yesterday I noticed a couple bumps and thought "poor baby has some bug bites." By last night he was covered and then this morning they looked awful. I was worried it might be chicken pox, so I called his doctor and they got me in right away. They made me use the backdoor so in case it was chicken pox, he wouldn't expose everyone in the waiting room. The only good thing about the doctor's office thinking your child has chicken pox is the fast service. No waiting at all.
Moral of the story, he does NOT have chicken pox. He has hives. That's right. An allergic reaction to.... I have no idea. There are about 100 possibilities of what it could be. Could be grass. Could be our laundry detergent. Could be nuts. Could be *gasp* strawberries! I have been so blessed to have no allergies in my first 3 children, but clearly not the case here. So I have to wait until his hives clear and I will try to pin point what his allergy actually is. It turns out that the first time your body experiences something you are allergic to, nothing will happen. But the next time, your body remembers that it didn't like it and freaks out... worse and worse each time. So whatever it is, is something he's had or had contact with before. I just don't know what. But I do know he had fresh strawberries yesterday, and I'm so hoping that's not it! How tragic would that be?!? A life without fresh strawberries!

I love the things that summer brings...
Today we let the kids swim in the front yard for our activity for Family Home Evening. Addison LOVED the water. He stuck it out longer than any of the other kids and stayed in the water the whole time! I know I'm biased, but he could quite possibly be one of the cutest babies on the face of this planet. I mean, really, how can you resist this face??

...and just because I thought it was cute:
