Yes, It has an acronym and everything!
MSPI stands for Milk Soy Protein Intolerance
After seeing a nutritionist last week we started all over again with our diet. She recommended me eliminate all animal milks. So, goat cheese and milk were outa there! That was the only cheese I had been able to eat. She also helped me understand some of the many soy ingredients out there. The only one that she is allowing me to eat is soy lecithin, which is an emulsifier and does not have the protein.
Things we can do for Ryder to help with the uncomfortableness of passing gas:
Chamomile Tea - brewed strong so that you can drop some in his mouth
Cocyntal - homeopathic colic relief
Massage
Probiotics
Tummy time
Bath time
Gas drops (Mylicon and/or GasX Baby) - must be burped up
Gripe water - goes through their system
What I am doing for Ryder:
Probiotics
Calcium
Fiber
Fish oil
Prenatals
No animal milks (cow, sheep, goat)
No soy - only soy lecithin is ok because it has no protein in it

So many mommy friends are going back to work. I met up with Rina and Odin this week before she went back to work. Both boys love putting things in their mouth...even eachother! I don't thing either realized what was going on.
Ryder is really using his hands now. He used to just knock things off his bumbo tray. But this week he really started to pick things up and play with them. He does the same in his carseat with his plastic rings. He even fell asleep with his hand around the rings on Monday.
Ryder and I enjoyed a movie last Saturday. We went to see Rio along with many other families with kids. The movie showing was designed for families. They turned down the music a bit and turned up the lights a bit. Ryder and I got to see and hear the whole movie even with that many kids. It was quite a treat!
Jason, Ryder and Raster enjoying their bath. Ryder loves to kick and splash so the sink is totally out of the question now. Last time I bathed him in the sink we had water on the counters, cupboards, floor and on all of my cloths. But Ryder was giggling the whole time!
