Eczema Update

It’s gone. It came and it went. I did give up dairy and gave her fish oil and probiotic which I think did help. I am eating dairy again though and no reaction. My friend said her daughter had a similar thing where it showed up and went away. Thank goodness because it really sucked! No more itching and she now wears cute sleeveless sundresses almost everyday! I have to do that because the poor girl was in long-sleeves and pants almost all spring!!

She had some rough nights sleeping lately. She then wouldn’t take a nap Saturday, fussed all day, fell asleep finally at 9pm!! Very crazy Quinn day. Maybe she is finally getting teeth. She isn’t really drooling though although I hear not all babies do. Tyler drooled buckets and buckets, so it was easy to tell when he was teething. There was a dry period in between the 1st molars and his canines and 2nd, but the drooling came back and seemed to last forever. Last night was much better..

Anyway, sleep deprivation sucks. I realize that I have had it good since she hasn’t gotten teeth yet. I am hoping maybe she will take it easy on me. Stay tuned for the answer I guess!!

She is trying to stand now! She gets in this downward dog position and it is like she is going to plant her feet and stand straight up. She loves to stand at the train table and see what is going on. She will writh around in your arms if you have made her mad by taking her away from something she was engaged in,but will also sometimes get made if you leave her to run get something.  She really wants to move so she can stay in the middle of the action.
She is now using her hand to shove food in her mouth which she then gags on. It is no fun and kind of scary. I want her to try new foods, but have to keep the closest eye on her. Tyler had a brilliant gag reflex and never choked and I trusted that. With her I am not so sure. She is eating, but sometimes bigger pieces of stuff get in her mouth and that is when trouble starts. I will be glad when she has more teeth…

She is a cutie pie and continues to shower sunshine on us everyday!
