Eggyolk Intolerance

Chico is 8 months now and I know for a fact that egg yolks is safe for babies that age. Yesterday I have him eat some egg yolks. Later that day, his face developed some rashes. Rashes started on his face, then to his tummy and spread into his arms and legs. Alarmed, we called his pediatrician and ask what is a good antihistamine for his age. The pediatrician prescription was to treat it with Zyrtec (Cetirizine dihydrochloride), 5 drops,once a day for 5 days. It seems he had developed egg yolk intolerance or egg yolk allergy (which is rare, so I hope not). According to a baby food site, that egg allergy appears when the body mistakes egg protein as a harmful substance, thus the body releases antibodies. Chico’s immune system is up and still fighting off egg proteins as he still have some rashes now. He is so red right now, good thing the redness on his stomach is gone and only some patches on his face is present. No more eggs for Chico for now..

Transformers Toys and Cars

Kids are now obsessed with Transformers. They already have Prawl and Optimus Prime. Hubby bought them Star Scream. Mico wants Bumblebee, but it seems that he is the most celebrated character, always no stock for this one. I, on the other hand, wants them all! I prefer this kind of toys, and yes I still enjoy playing them. When I had their first Transformers action figure, I really had a head ache playing it (from vehicle mode to robot mode and vice versa). The kids can’t transform it yet so Mommy needs to help. I do enjoy it amidst the head aches (he he). I am amazed how detailed the figures were. My favorite of them all is Prawl. I am just so in love with his robot mode appearance. And so amazed by his vehicle appearance, I mean how can he hide his robot parts? Unlike Optimus Prime, his vehicle appearance is so obvious. He looks like he is hiding a lot on that, and he is not good looking on his robot mode. Starscream is also good, but I found too much details on him and I had a harder time figuring him out. Most of their Transformers toys were form the animated series. I like the one from Transformers Universe. I am actually saving for the small Universe toy.. cost about $6 to $7 here and about $4 on the net. Mommy also promised to buy them a Bumblebee universe version.

Now, I had a steal for that! I found some good Bumblebee imitation on a store near us. It cost me only a dollar and I can say the toy is good enough. It has been a week since we bought it and it is still on good playing condition. Take a look..
