6 Months and Counting

Tyson is 6 months old! I can't believe how fast time flies. I don't know where to start with the update so I'll start with why I have the time today to write. Today I got a phone call while I was at work that Tyson was having a food allergy reaction at daycare. So I called the doctor, while I was getting Benadryl from our school nurse, and raced over to daycare (1/4 of a mile from work). When I got to daycare this is what my beautiful baby boy looked like.





I had sent bananas for breakfast and he reacted to them within 30 minutes. He had eaten them for dinner last night and really didn't have a reaction. So I loaded him, doped him with Benadryl, and headed for the doctor. It was determined that Tyson probably has an allergy to bananas and that we need to avoid them until he is one and then try them again.




So I'm home now, Tyson is sleeping soundly with the Benadryl and Tylenol (he has an ear infection too) that he has been given. I hope he wakes up my sweet beautiful boy. It just pains me to see him so swollen and sad.


In the past month we have had great adventures. Tyson has started eating more solids. He loves his veggies but hates the fruit.


He loves to help me get the spoon in his mouth but sometimes that doesn't always work out to hit the target. He is getting better, however. Eating isn't as messy now as it was at the beginning of the month.










We visited with the Easter Bunny on Easter. Tyson wasn't too sure what to think of the bunny. But he did not have any objections to him. I guess we will see how next year goes.











We had a great time visiting Shoshone Falls. The water at Shoshone Falls was at its top levels in years. These falls are taller than Niagara by 50 feet. They are truly amazing with all the water.





I completed the final part of my state testing. I will hear in a month if I passed. I did pass the first part that I took in March. This was a great relief. School is out in a month so I'm busy finishing projects and reflections with the kids. It is a busy time at school. Brad is just getting started with the ice in the valley. The weather has been cold and rainy so people haven't been out much. He expects things to pick up now that it is May and the weather is getting better.
