Gabby and Grumps!

1 year stats!
Weight: 20.5 lbs- 25%
Height: 31 in.- 90%

For Coop's 1 year check up, he had to have his blood drawn along with 3 shots! Bad day!!! Our sweet nurse found a good vein, but for some reason couldn't get his blood to draw. That darn needle was in his arm for a really long time before she realized she wasn't going to get anything. I know that happens....it's just really sad when you have to hold down your screaming baby. So we will have to go back another time to try again. = ( He was still hysterical when he had to have the shots. To top it off, he had a little reaction to his shots. Such a sad day, but...it's over!

We just got back from an awesome weekend at Josh's parents' house! Cooper absolutely LOVES the outdoors. If he was awake....he was outside! We found out that Mr. Man is severely allergic to eggs. That reaction he had to his birthday cake....I guess we can now confirm that eggs were the culprit. He celebrated his actual birthday while we were at Gabby and Grumps house!!! So the day after, Josh fed him some yummy eggs for breakfast. Of course mister picky eater loved them. However, the eggs did not love Coop! Scary stuff! He started coughing right after he ate them...but he had no other signs for about an hour. So I decided I could put him down for his nap. He fussed....he always fusses for a few minutes, but I was still really nervous about those stinky eggs. After 5 min. I went in to check on him and he had thrown up everywhere, his entire face is swollen, can't breathe out of his nose because of all of the mucous, and his chest was bright red with welps. Um....yeah, we were out in the middle of nowhere with no benadryl. So I stripped him down (throw up all over his clothes) and we sped off to a dollar general... thankfully they had benadryl. He cleared up rather quickly...but it was still really scary! No more eggs for Coop!
