I nearly wasn’t going to post these photos, but as firsts go, this is pretty important. It seems so silly, but these photos make me very sad to look at. The month or two leading up to this day had been filled with heartache and worry. I blamed myself even though I know there was nothing I could have done differently, it’s just who he is and that’s something we will have to deal with. Certain things are going to upset his skin and we will have to tackle them when they arise.
It was all a mystery. Allergy testing gave us very few answers. Nothing could explain the terrible rash that had haunted my little boy and made life unbearable. And even this, his first taste of food had been delayed due to the worry that he might have some sort of side effect. We waited until after his testing was done so we didn’t add another possibility to he list of things that might have caused this nasty rash.
As I have with my 2 boys before, I started with rice cereal. He seemed to not mind the taste of it. But I wouldn’t say he really loved it. As time goes on it became evident we had another little Addison on our hands, not so bad, but another little bub that was quite fussy with his food. Mind you he was the first to eat baby food made by Mummy, so he gets bonus points for that!
