I took Coleman to the Dr. yesterday because he had these really dry red patches on his legs and chest. I tried lotion, etc...but nothing worked. So anyway, it turns out that it is baby eczema...and apparently a cause of that could be do to me eating dairy products. So...to rule out the fact that it may be a reaction to that - I have to give up dairy for a week (and maybe longer depending if I notice a difference or not). Then I can slowly start to introduce dairy back into my diet and see if there are any changes in him. They also gave us an ointment to put on it as well (which seems to be helping already). So I'm totally bummed that I have to give up dairy for a week. I am such a cheese eater, love my milk, and ice cream too! It's not ALL dairy products, just the main ones: milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc. So we'll see if it helps. I'm pretty bummed about it in the meantime.
The good news is I finally got my diaper bag back! I had to return my other one because the zipper broke (their fault, not mine) and they sent me a replacement bag - I've been using a backpack as I have been waiting and I'm so glad to be tranfering my things to my new bag as soon as I finish writing this post.
More good news....the busy season is officially over! We made it! Coleman, Justin and I did 8 weeks of craziness and now we can finally have some time to enjoy together as a family of 3!
So I'll write more later - I have a new diaper bag to pack! YAY!
My little man is doing great - doesn't seem bothered by it at all - so here is a precious picture of him being so happy!
