Experiment
Areyna started eating peanut butter when she was a year and was fine...until about 7 or 8 months later. We gave her a peanut butter cracker and she looked like Will Smith in the movie "Hitch". Everywhere her body came in contact with the peanut butter swelled up and got hives. Needless to say we haven't given her any more peanut butter, nor have we tried to see if Zeke could eat it. Well yesterday Josh was eating peanut butter crackers and we decided it was time to try again, so, we gave each of the kids 1...then 2...NOTHING HAPPENED. We couldn't believe it. I was Ecstatic, something else to add to Areyna's birdlike eating habits. So, today was a huge day; Zeke and Rainy's first Peanut Butter Sandwiches, ever!! They each downed their half sandwich and demanded MORE. So, I made them another. Don't get too excited yet. Yes, Zeke was fine but within 2 minutes Areyna started complaining about her eyes and mouth hurting and her face started to swell up like a balloon again. AHH! I don't understand. So, for now, NO MORE peanut butter for Areyna=( Thank the Lord for Benadryl.

Ha. I was about to get ecstatic for you. I know what its like to find something your picky eater will eat. Maybe the peanut butter crackers were fine because of the type of peanut butter. You know? Its not like Jiff on those crackers.
Bummer for Areyna. I love peanut butter. And that is one thing on my picky eater's list.
stink. peanut butter does make feeding toddlers so much easier...especially ya'll being on the road so much. what does the doctor say about it? is there a way to test Areyna and find out for sure? we think that Joshua might be allergic to dogs...and he LOVES them!
Awe..poor thing. PB is so good! Hope you are well! I am getting so pumped about you guys coming in May!
Oh man!! That's a bummer. At least Zeke is okay. I know you have probably gotten lots of advice but is Areyna allergic to all nuts? If not, maybe almond butter would be a good substitute. It is a more expensive that's the only down side. Hang in there mama!
