To add to the 'excitement' this past weekend of the funeral and 1400 miles in the truck, Kimber broke out in some serious bumps/hives. It started with just a few around her diaper, then spread all over her entire body.... I mean from the top of her head to the bottoms of her feet. Luckily she didn't run a fever, so we weren't too concerned.... but still concerned enough. She wasn't acting like they were bothering her, however, the bumps did get bright red in the heat and places where she got hot.... so we thought it might be heat rash. Anyway, it continued to get worse each day we were on the road. We tried to keep her away from the other babies fearing it might spread to them. Luckily we got her into the Dr. and he confirmed that it is an allergic reaction to something. We are having a hard time finding out what the heck is causing it but she does seem to be doing a bit better since we've been home. It's really rough on her skin and it looks dry/flaky. It did start to itch her yesterday so we've been trying to stop her from scratching. This poor gal has had a rough 15 months!

Your blog looks great, love that header picture too! So...poor Kimber! Dang those mystery allergies, that is quite the rash she has going on. Frustrating She sure looks cute and smiley in that picture though.
Oh my gosh! That poor little girl! I hope you figure it out so it won't happen again.
wow. I wonder if it could be the lotion or something she ate? :)
Poor little kimber. i hope she gets better soon. Baxter broke out in a rash one time like that and it was my laundry det. Good luck.
Sick babies are no fun. I wish it was easier to figure out what they are allergic too.
Glad you had a good time with family at the funeral.
oh poor thing. at least she 'appears' happy!! lol
hopefully you can figure out what is causing it! keep us posted!
That Kimber just is cursed with all kinds of mystery's in her health life. It looks like it hurts
