15 Months and Banned from Scrambled Eggs

It is hard to believe but Finley is now 15 months old (where is the time going??).  Anyway, at 15 Months she will eat just about anything that we give her and while she isn't walking independently, she has become an expert cruiser and will push anything that isn't nailed to the floor (or too heavy) in order to remain upright and move across the room.  We have started letting her climb up the stairs with supervision and she is really good at it and thinks it in the best (she is still trying to go head first down the stairs so we will have to keep working on that one). She continues to love her big brother and thinks that playing with him or near him is the bees knees.  She also loves to get the attention of older girls and adores when they play with her.

Official 15 Month Stats
Weight: 20lbs. 4 oz (10-25 percentile)
Height: 30 1/4 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: Didn't get the exact measurement but... 75th-90th percentile

As for the second portion of the title of this post it appears that sweet Finley is allergic to eggs.  However, it appears to be a dilutional allergy meaning that she can tolerate it when it is diluted in items like cakes, cookies, pancakes, etc. but cannot tolerate when it is presented at full strength like in scrambled eggs or an omelet.  We found this out last week when she had scrambled eggs for the second time and within an hour she looked like this:


Luckily Benadryl did the trick to clear it right up.  We discussed it with the doctor at her 15 month visit and he agreed that it appears to be an egg allergy and now both kiddos are the proud owner of epipen jr.
