Allergies

Since Lucy was about 4-5 months old, she's had a cough and a running nose on and off. We've always wondered if she had allergies, but didn't really think babies could. But, it always seemed like every time my allergies would flare up she would start to have the same symptoms. Well, the past few nights have been pretty rough- she's been coughing/hacking and had a constant running nose all throughout the day. I decided enough was enough and took her in to the pediatrician to be evaluated for allergies. Sure enough, he said she definitely does. So, Lulu has to start a daily allergy medication just like Mommy which should take care of everything. Crazy, crazy Oklahoma weather.

Waiting to see Dr. Wilson being such a good girl.

Well, now you can take care of it :) She's so big and pretty!! P.S. Throw away the sling I gave you!! The news did say that it was more of a danger for newborns but, just in case ;) Make it into a little pillow or something...the fabric is cute!

what a bummer but i have to say, MO has been on allegra forEVER now and it's not that bad. it's just part of our daily routine now. she's the product of allergy-fied parents so there's no hope for her!! at least this medicine will help her feel (and sleep!) better. oh, and i LOVE THAT FLOWER BOW on her sweet head!!!
