We've had a bit of a bummer in Mae's weaning process recently, upon finding out that she is allergic to peas, which she loves. She ended up with rashes all over her face, neck, and legs, and swollen, puffy eyes. She didn't sleep for many nights because her rashes were so itchy. She's now on Zyrtec and some steroid cream, and is feeling better.
I introduced butternut squash to her yesterday, because it is such a great first food for babies. Creamy when pureed and rich in beta-carotene, she liked it very much. I made it with breastmilk and brown rice cereal for her breakfast and she enjoyed every last bite of it.
