School Pictures

These kids are so cute that it makes my heart ACHE!! I want to gobble them up.

Penelope and Henrietta had their pictures taken at school by a photograper, but Mills wasn't there that day. I didn't know that I could have brought her to school to get her picture taken alone and with her sisters:( So sad about missing out on that. However, I did get a good shot of her on pony day.

So Much Better

This was Millicent at the peak of her food allergy/eczema issues. Poor thing. This picture makes me want to cry because she looks like she's in so much pain.

Edited: Actually, this wasn't necessarily the peak of her rashiness. The worst was when she had bloody scratch marks all over her scalp and body. That was because I had been using almond oil on her skin (due to a doctor's suggestion) without realizing she was also allergic to almonds. That was a very low point for us but I thank God everyday that she is doing better now.

However, there excellent news to report. Millicent is doing 1,000,000 times better now. It turns out she was just allergic to soy. We thought she had the skin rash form of celiac disease, so we cut out gluten. I even cut out gluten myself because I was breastfeeding her. It took us about 4 months of gluten free living to determine that gluten was not her problem. We found this out when she had a reaction to some edamame that we fed her. She broke out in hives and was pooping fire. So we began to experiment with foods that had gluten but no soy. We had success!

She is so much happier now!! She is such a precious baby.
