Introduction

I am approaching W's birthday with a sense of sadness and relief.  Sadness that my baby will turn 1 next week, but relief that I can say that at 1 year of age, he is happy and healthy and can cross off what has been an interesting year to say the least.

In an effort to help my family and friends understand our past years journey and what lies ahead, I've decided to start this blog, named for the question I get most often.  The one thing that has helped more than anything during this year is to talk to and read about other families, their struggles and their successes. Hopefully this will pay it forward.

Here is the list of allergies as it stands today:

Eggs
Dairy (milk, cheese, butter, etc.)
Wheat
Peanuts
Tree Nuts
Latex
Bananas
Avocados
Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Carrots
Kiwi
Pumpkin
Seeds and Oils (specifically sunflower, grapeseed, canola)
Cauliflower
Black Beans
Dogs
Cats

UPDATE: Canola oil is off the list after a negative skin test.  Woohoo!
