Yogurt is a No-Go

It is such a thrill to watch Milla try foods for the first time!! You can't give babies cow's milk to drink until they are a year old. But, they throw you off by saying that it is ok to give yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese earlier. I was confused! I found out that the reason is...babies are unable to break down/ digest the proteins in cow's milk and certain minerals can build up and damage their kidneys---But, in yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese these proteins are already broken down--so they are safe under the age of one....usually around 8 months or so.

On Sunday I was excited to give Milla yogurt. She ate a whole 4 oz. container of "Yo Baby" yogurt (my first mistake!!)... and she loved every bite! Shortly after she took a nap--when we went to go get her when she woke up--she had vomited yogurt ALL over herself (and rolled all around!)- so, I got her in the bathtub to rinse her off and she had hives and a rash all over her back and arms (you can kind of see it in this picture). That is a typical allergic reaction--so, we are going to lay off the yogurt for awhile and maybe try it again in several months.

Personalities

Where do personalities come from???
How does everyone become the person that they are?
How much of it is learned and how much is one born with?
Milla got to visit with some of her friends this week and it is always so much fun just to be around other kids and watch and observe their personalities. It is incredible that not one person in the world is exactly the same. There is something special and something to be learned from everyone. Guess that is what keeps life so intersting!!!

Easter 2010

" He Lives! He Lives! Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along live's narrow way.
He Lives! He Lives! Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart."
