A not so good news...

Well, it seems that Dylan is allergic to whole milk. It hasn't been confirmed by an allergist, but based on what we've been reading, it's very possible. Also, a friend's daughter is allergic to whole milk and had the same reaction (mild hives) as Dylan's.

So it's back to breastfeeding and pumping which we know would make Dylan very happy.

Let's hope the allergist tells us something different!

11 months old

For his 11 mth birthday, we got him a new ride-on toy because it's been MONTHS since he's gotten a new toy. We've actually resorted to him playing with mixing bowls, remote control, bag clips and his favorite - wooden spoons.

Then he had his first taste of Jefferson Dairy's homemade ice cream. He was so excited.. it was just too cute. The flavor - MONKEY BUTT (banana ice cream, walnuts and fudge)

Today was also the first time he got a sippy cup/bottle of organic whole milk (mixed with half breast milk). It started with a sippy cup but he only took 1oz of it and threw it on the floor. Then, he took 3oz of it in his bottle (his usual is 6-7oz). It broke Mommy's heart when he wanted to nurse instead, so she gave up and nursed him. They said it's hard at the beginning, but we'll get the hang of it. The goal is to eliminate one nursing session per week. Hopefully, by his 1st birthday (tear, tear), nursing will only be in the morning and at night; perhaps, even done by then.

excited to see the sippy cup... tries it for a few seconds....

Minutes later.. he throws it.. =)

It's a girl!!!
