Ketchin' Up

Big Smiles!

In his "giraffe costume," as Corey calls it.

Nothing really interesting to report this week. I got sucked in to the Twilight Series and am starting the 4th book tonight. Zach is progressing by leaps and bounds lately. We were a little worried about him because he wasn't making much eye contact or smiling very often as of last week. By the time he had his 2 month check up this week, he was doing very well in those respects. He is now gazing into our eyes and has beautiful smiling spells! The doctor also prescribed a lotion for his dermatitis (aka baby acne/cradle cap) that worked like a charm. After one application, his skin was clearer then Jessica Simpson's on the ProActiv commercials. It breaks my heart that I didn't know there was such a simple cure sooner! He's sleeping pretty well, eating well, and we are having a ball together!

What did the Doctor give you? Cooper had those problems too, but all we got was hydrocortisone cream and it doesn't rub in very well. And I'm glad that he's looking at you and smiling. That's an important milstone huh. Especially when all us moms of boys are on the lookout for autism.

The lotion is called desonide. It is a corticosteroid and rubbed in very smoothly. One application and he looked perfect!
