Ava and Hummus



It turns out that Ava does not like hummus. After a very small taste, Ava's lip became more than a little swollen. So, Ava decided to visit the emergency room at Overlake Friday night. 

"I don't think this gown is my size. Do you have something a bit smaller and in purple?" 

We spent a couple of hours in the ER.  It turns out Ava is very allergic to something in hummus.   Thanks to some lovely Benadryl Ava slept through most of it. 

"ZZZZZzzzz" She was snoring. Mom and Papa were never so happy to hear little baby snores.
The next day Ava was up and walking.  Yes, walking. She took her first couple of steps Saturday night.


  Unfortunately, we were too busy cheering to take a picture, but look for some next week.




Update: After allergy testing we found out that hummus is probably the worst possible food for Ava.  She is allergic to both sesame and garbanzo beans.  However, she  is not allergic to peanuts (there is Kennedy in there somewhere after all).

  1. So sorry to hear you have allergy problems. Who would think hummus would cause an allergic reaction. Welcome to the world of parenting.
