Today has been a lazy day. Cooper was up most of the night for some unknown reason which meant I didn't get much sleep. We took long naps together today...it's been great! I managed to dress the kids, but I'm still in my PJ's. I can't believe Cooper is now wearing 18 month clothing! (Charlotte still fits in some 6 month clothing, but fits best in 9 month clothing.) A friend of a friend also has a very tall son who is a year old and wears 3T. She passes down all her boy clothes to Cooper since he basically gets to wear things once or twice before he grows out of it. Crazy!
This is the time of year in California when I have hay fever. In Colorado it's the spring time because of the pollen. I think it's the molds here that I'm allergic to. I think Charlotte is also bothered by allergies since she is rubbing her eyes and nose a lot more. Cooper also has itchy eyes and a constant frog in his throat. The fresh air helps a little bit but I wish there was something we could give them. I know orange and lemon scents also help so I'll try that since I don't think there are any baby allergy medicines.
It's sort of a pain to remember what we can and can't give the kids. Since Charlotte is older she can have dairy while Cooper can have it in limited amounts. Neither are supposed to have high allergy foods like citrus, peanuts (including peanut butter) or chocolate. They also can't have honey because it can cause botulism (we also assume honey graham crackers are out). They also can't have egg whites or berries like strawberries or raspberries. Anything else I'm forgetting?? It will be great for them to both be a year old and we won't have to worry about it anymore!
Scout has had terrible allergies the last week or so. She itches all over and Benedryl only provides a small amount of relief, while the couch seems to provide some more immediate relief. The kids find her hysterical. (Chris says this is only the end of the giggle-fest and that Cooper was really laughing for awhile before he started recording. In the background you can hear Charlotte yell.)

Check with your pediatrician, but I'm pretty sure they can have honey graham crackers. It's just raw honey that can grow the botulism (I know I butchered that) bacteria. It's not an allergy thing, so you should be okay.
