The Last Few Weeks

Peter with his first taste of rice cereal. About two weeks after this, he had some again, for the second and probably last time. We're not sure if it was the cereal, his formula, or the 4 month shots he had in the morning, but he had a serious allergic reaction in the evening which had us rushing him to the hospital. By the time we got there, he had calmed down, his breathing was back to normal, and he was actually extremely happy, but his face was still puffy and the hives had not gone down. I am searching for a good pediatrician for him now. No fun to deal with allergies!! Very scary stuff...Peter and his Great Opa Peter and his Great OmaThe cousins getting reaquaintedKitty seems to have a thing for Peter's toysHappy little guy - this is the morning after his allergic reaction, you can see his eye is still a little puffyGetting a bottle from OpaSmiles
