Yep, Willpower’s two front teeth are finally poked through the gums.  There is no possible way to get a photo of this milestone unless we strapped him down to the floor and used a crowbar to pry his mouth open, but they are in!  He really doesn’t like showing his teeth yet.

Allergy update:  I spoke with the Allergy nurse yesterday at Cardinal Glennon as we received our packet in the mail with Will’s lab results and some brochures on Egg-Free Diet.  The levels in his blood are enough that we must avoid egg and egg ingredients.  So my freak-out email previously about no macaroni is really true.  And we must do a better job of reading food labels to look for egg ingredients in things we ordinarily wouldn’t associate eggs with.  If he does eat eggs or foods that contain egg, his levels will continue to rise and we would have to look additional medicine treatment options so the best thing for us to do right now is strict avoidance to keep his levels down.  And a new challenge begins…

House update:  We had a huge load of dirt delivered in the backyard this morning!  We have a full weekend of project fun ahead of us.  We plan on filling in all of the unlevel holes in the backyard with the load of dirt.  After that is finished (hopefully by tomorrow morning), we are going to rent a trencher and start burying the pvc pipe for our very own sprinkler system tomorrow.  I think there is going to be a lot of sweating going on this weekend.
