Colin wants a turn

So I've been updating on Ethan's issues. Colin told me today (hehehe) that he wants a turn. We went to see Dr. Dobo at Marietta Dermatology about his eczema. He said it wasn't that bad of a case (he's seen much worse) but infant eczema is tricky to treat because of limited options. He agreed with me to stay away from steroid treatment if possible, so that will be our last option. He gave us a prescription for a new lotion that is safe for infants called Epiceram. Even the copay is YIKES expensive so I have really high hopes for it! We are supposed to use it twice a day and then use Aquaphor at the other diaper changes. So far, we are seeing some fairly clear skin. He still scratches a lot and of course HATES having his nails clipped (and it doesn't help to wait until he is asleep...he is just as resistant then!).

I started him on rice cereal last week and then read that it can cause constipation, which he does NOT need help with, so I did the requisite 5 days then switched to oatmeal. He absolutely slurps it off the spoon (hasn't QUITE gotten the open the mouth wide thing yet). He totally gets the eating thing and it is SO cute!
