Peanut Butter.... Not quite yet!

Our pediatrician advised that around 15 months (before Kayla's next visit) we should test her for the peanut allergy at home... At first we should do skin tests on her arm and then face... if all goes well, move to giving her some. So we did the tests and it was all ok so we gave Kayla her very 1st PB & J sandwich. It became very messy (as you can see below)... She rubbed it her hair, eyes... you name it. Then the rubbing became more of an irritating thing... Next thing you know she was covered in hives. We got her stripped down and thru her in the tub to get off all the stickiness. Needlesstosay we think that there is some sort of allergy there. We have our 15month Dr. visit on the 28th so we'll see what the Dr. says. At this point, it was nothing that a little Benedryl could not handle!
