Happy 18th Month Birthday to Bella!

Isabella is 18 months today. She weights about 24 lbs now and it's growing more and more everyday. She's been eating really good, loves to "read" her books out loud, is getting better at coloring and using the crayons, loves to watch Little People and Baby Einstein DVDs, and is developing a little personality of her own.

We also went to the allergist today and did her skin test for allergies. She did so good through out the testing. She got poked 20 times and didn't even cry. They are "little" pokes in sets of 5 so it wasnt' too bad. And then we had to wait 15 minutes for the skin/body to react. It turns out she's allergic to cats and cockroaches. I can understand cats, even though she has been exposed to them only once. But cockroaches?? The doctor said it doesn't mean we have them at home but that maybe she has had some airborne contact in other houses or stores. He also said she might be allergic to peanuts and tuna so we are doing a blood test to get more accurate results. So for now we'll continue giving her the Zyrtec and the nebulizer is kinda optional. I just hope she continues to get better and sleep well!
