Milk Protein Allergy

Kashus has been having a hard time with formula. He has developed a rash all over his body and has been very congested with some other issues. I took him to see the doctor a little over a week ago due to his congestion and we switched him to a soy formula. After switching to the soy he developed a rash and continued to be congested so I took him back to the doctor.  We now have him on a formula that has broken down the milk proteins so much that his body won't detect them and cause an allergic reaction.  We just started this formula two days ago, he continues to be congested but his rash along with using hydrocortisone cream has improved.  We need to watch his bowels and if they improve we can stay with this formula, but if not we need to switch to one that breaks the milk protein down even further. Our poor little guy, just glad that we have access to doctors and special formula!!  Other than that he continues to be the sweetest baby boy!! He's becoming more aware of his surrounding everyday and its so fun watching him grow!


 
Sky continues to be a little firecracker! She is always right in Kash's face talking to him and showing him things. When ever he cries she will run up to Karson or I and say "he's hungee, he's mad!" LOL, the things she picks up on. We are always telling her to keep her fingers out of her mouth, so what does she do when the baby puts his fingers in his mouth, she tells him "fingers out of mouth, that's yucky!"  If we don't get to Kash right away when he's crying, she doesn't hesitate to give him his binky! She is such a good big sister, you can see the love that she has for her little brother! WE are truly blessed to have these two!
 
 She continues to go potty in the "big girl potty" when she feels like it. She is very stubborn and strong willed, cries and gets really upset when I try to make her sit on the potty. I have a feeling that she will figure it out on her own time, I just hope its not when she's 5, LOL. Here are some recent pics of Sky eating a cupcake! Don't ask me why she had to eat it like that but she did!
