I am way behind in reading your blog. Forgi...Amy,<br /><br />I am way behind in reading your blog. Forgive the late commentary. I'm going to consolidate a couple responses here.<br /><br />1. That 150-year-old cradle rocks my socks.<br /><br />2. I love that Andrew was able to be baptized in a home. Not that I don't like to see babies baptized in church, but there is something so intimate about any kind of sacrament (weddings, baptisms, communion etc.) given in a home.<br /><br />3. Clare also has a milk allergy! It only manifested itself as eczema in the early months, so we didn't figure it out until she was on solids. (When yogurt = hives, you think "allergy" pretty quick.) Anyway, I also had to give up dairy at that point. If you miss your cheese, there is a decent cheese alternative out there called "daiya". Their mis-capitalization, not mine. It is NOT soy (something I was trying to avoid since I already drink soy milk). It is actually made with tapioca flour and some other weird flour, arrowroot maybe. The flavor is only mediocre, but the texture approximates real cheese. It costs about $5 a bag at our Kroger. Expensive, yes, but I could make a bag last a couple weeks by using it sparingly. It's low-calorie, too. <br /><br />Some other good dairy substitutes are rice ice cream and coconut milk yogurt. A word of warning, though: the coconut milk yogurt is quite high in fat. It will be a good thing to give Andrew since babies need fat. Clare loves it. <br /><br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
