Time is flying by and my baby is now a toddler. She has the cutest smile, and loves to laugh and play. She is a huge fan of outside and cries whenever it is time to come in.
She loves to go on walks and look at the flowers, sometimes she picks them, (oops) which I try to keep only to our own yard, but it's so cute, and luckily the neighbors think so too.
This is at the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Princess got so excited about all the different flowers. It ended up being to stormy to enjoy the whole thing, but this exhibit was just out front.
Right after princess's bath, her hair is SUPER curly. It is very cute, and I wish the curls stayed better. She doesn't like to keep bows, or things in her hair so it is usually flying wild. She does love to see herself in the mirror when a headband or bow is on, but then she pulls it out almost immediately. I decided it wasn't work the effort.She is learning to sign. She knows the signs for milk, please, thank you, bird, more, mom, dad, potty and bear. We are working on a few others, but those are the ones she uses everyday. She is also great at pointing and saying "this this"
Her favorite words to say are are Uh-oh, ouch, Mom, Da Da, this, sit, and go.
She is still having food allergy issues, which is one of the main reasons I have not had time to write on this blog. I have to make most her food from scratch since she can't handle preservatives. We are on a special Specific Carbohydrate Rotation Diet. She can only have the same food item every 5 days and she can not have any grains, or any of her other allergens (which is quite a list including Cheese, Apples, chicken, broccoli, tomato's, onions, red berries... etc) When she eats any of her allergen foods, she breaks out in rashes on her face, arms and legs. And when she eats grains her bowels do not work at all. It is hard, But I am learning so much. Friday I created a new bread recipe using cashew flour and pecans. It was YUMMY. I am very lucky that she is not also allergic to nuts or eggs. I am also making my own homemade 24 hr SCD Yogurt, which has really helped to heal her gut and stop the candida overgrowth.. When yogurt is made this way, all of the lactose is broken down by the good bacteria, and you end up with over 70 billion good bacteria per cup. Anyway I am learning a ton, but it is very time consuming and overwhelming. BUT SHE IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!
