i gave xsteen a teeny taste of ice cream at 9 mo. she broke out in hives and i was b!tched out by the pediatrician for giving her ice cream at that age!

my $ is on him not having raped the girlie, though.

As I said, the only reason was because of the particular flavor - I didn't even realize it was fat-free until I went to feed it to the baby!!!!

i am thinking that a $4m ring is pretty gaudy, aren't you? i'd rather have a bunch of DIFF jewelery for $4mil, rather than just one big gaudy thing. but that's just me ; )

I don't even think Jax was that old - it was more like she was 5 or 6 months old.

Because neither hubby or I had any history of allergies to dairy products he felt it was a safe bet she wouldn't - fortunately he was right!!!

[xsmommy]

hey, tiger, did you by any chance save VaBthang's losetarian alert somewhere? i love that.

Guess Kobe is making things all better... ; )

Well a 4 million dollar ring is getting off cheap, considering that California is a community property state.

Hey Kobe, if you are out there, start transferring assets offshore so you have some to fall back on after the civil trial and or divorce.

[Gabz]

I'm with you!!!!!

[xsmommy]

xsteen was the only one with that allergy. i weaned her at a year and she had to do formula for about 4-5 mo. before she grew out of it. that was a total drag. breastfeed for a year and STILL need to mess with formula!

That's where my $ is too.

And haven't found a winner yet.

[Gabz]

At about 8 months the pediatrician said that to give me a break I could give her formula. The first time hubby gave it to her she spit it in his face, after the third try with the same results we never bothered again. She went directly from me to whole milk!!!!!

BTW I literally mean she spit it out, not that she spit it up!!!!

[xsmommy]

i could be totally offbase, but i am betting that miss (Smoking hot, to quote dubs ; )) vanessa sticks with him. and if the stuff we are reading turns out to be verifiable and true (the fact that the girlie is out discussing his endowment at a party 3 days after the alleged incident) that he will walk. you won't catch me opining on a Kobe thread though, for fear of being strung up as a KOBOT!
