Today my parents attended the funeral of a dear family friend who lost her long battle with cancer. Sometimes I notice Grant smiling at things beyond my shoulder and my belief is that children may just see things that we as adults don't...call it an open mind, or just call me crazy. But it reminds me that those we love are in a better place watching over us and making my son smile...our love and hearts go out to Amy's family today and always.

James is wearing a balloon car made by the balloon man at a recent birthday party. But of course he realized it could also be a jet pack, back pack. Why not?!

allergy update
First and foremost he is testing positively for peanut allergy. How severe, we wont know until he eats peanuts again, but that wont be until he is at least 3-4 yrs old. Until then we avoid it like the plague, along with eggs and possibly wheat.
He also has a chronic sinus infection, that darn runny nose just wont go away....so he's on meds to zap that and then we should start seeing the hives go away. The peanut reaction would last a few hours not weeks so we are blaming the chronic hives on his viral/bacterial infection. Ears are clear thank goodness, and these meds will fend off any impending infection there!
On a good note, these are all manageable ailments and he is happy and VERY rambunctious. He also is 19 lbs and 29 1/2 inches long - that puts him 50th% for weight and 95th% for height. His latest favorite pastime is clapping! ;0) SO cute.

James' drawing skills have really blossomed. Doodling is starting to take shape. He draws all the time and today he made me what he calls "our family". Pretty awesome. ;0)

hives
UPDATE: Grant has a peanut allergy. Stinky diagnosis but we're in good hands and we'll learn more at the allergist appt on Monday.
Grant is just getting over a really bad case of hives. We cant put our finger on the cause but we are awaiting blood tests looking for both food and airborne allergens. Ick! We think its just a reaction to the high pollen counts we are experiencing right now. Worse allergy season in 6 years in this area. Yuk! I know mine are bad....
The poor kid is on the mend, never a dull moment.
