5!

I realized this morning that we have 5 "safe" foods now! 

1.  Apples
2.  Spinach (in small quantities)
3. Quinoa
4.  Mango
5.  Peaches

And one spice!
1.  Cinnamon

And two food additives!
1.  Calcium citrate
2.  Ascorbic acid

It may not seem like a lot, but we're light years ahead of where we were a few months ago.  We've been nearly a month without a full-blown reaction.   Whoooo!  Bring on more foods!  We're ready to give 'em a shot!

5 things about the little man that have nothing to do with food

...since sometimes I feel that is all I've shared lately and there is much more going on with him than than our epic food puzzle.


5. He points (with great gusto) to where he would like to go after you pick him up.
4. He 'unloads' the dryer for me and flaps kitchen towels around while I am folding.  He also snitches his teeny tiny socks out of the loads and sticks them in weird places that I find later.
3.  If I tell him not to touch something, he often grabs my hand and makes it touch what he is not allowed to be touching (mostly the blinds and the computer). 
2.  He will play with the vacuum for inordinate amounts of time, trying to get the cord's retracting mechanism to work (he can't put enough pressure on the button yet).
1. He looks at the door during the day if I ask him where Daddy is.

it was inevitable...

The Little Fella has discovered the toilet bowl. He tried to excavate it this morning while I was busy getting dressed.  Between his discovery and my rescue he nearly excavated it with his head. 

For my part, I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't hold him up to the sink to wash his hands.  For his part, he was not helping any by windmilling his legs and wrenching his head to the side so that he could see his fun new pal the potty.

Boy, I love my little guy.  The world is so new through his curious little eyes.
