Babies & Messes

My one year old is learning to feed herself. What a mess! She enjoys putting the food in her mouth as much as on the floor. And she loves swirling her fingers around on her tray and then wiping the food in her hair... I don't think it's on purpose. She just loves the way it feel between her fingers, I think.

Abigail seems to be the black hole of all of her parents allergies. She's allergic to oats, milk, soy, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, probably blackberries... Who knows what else... We're hoping she grows out of some of it. We've had to add food REALLY slowly, one every week or two. She's eaten a lot of bananas and pears. In the last two weeks we've finally passed the test of wheat and eggs. Yay! Those two would've been really bad... We've got a friend who goes into anaphylactic shock if he's in the room and you COOK with eggs. Can you imagine?

When my younger brother was allergic to Milk and Sugar, the whole family went off of it. Yuck. Very unfair.... :)

He grew out of it by the way...

Why did you ALL go off milk and sugar!? I can understand not cooking with it, but cereal & milk! That wouldn't have hurt him... When I was seriously allergic to milk we used to order pizza without cheese, but that's the closest the rest of my family got to living without... Sugar, huh? I've not heard of that one. Yuck.
