Sucking her thumb!

I think we may have hit a growth spurt. Isabella is hungry all the time now! She has started taking an extra ounce in her bottle. Unfortunately, she is waking up more at night hungry. I haven't been up this many times at night since she was sick! We may start getting cereal in our bottle soon!

On a skin note, we are singing praises to the Head and Shoulders makers. It has helped Isabella's head so much! She hasn't scratched as much and It doesn't have all the scratch marks any more!!

Tonight we are going to Brian's parents for Brian's B'day dinner. He has a suprise that I have been trying not to spill. I think he will be so excited!

Well I have made a mixture that will hopefully help my sweet baby girls skin. I've tried it for two nights now and already some of the redness is better. It's a mixture of original Desitin (it has 40% zinc) and coconut oil. I can't put it where she can reach like where she needs it the most, her head, but her other areas seem to have improved. I'm giving it 2 weeks. After that I'm all out of ideas! Lets pray that it works!!

Skin problems

So yesterday Isabella had another rash. It started when we went to Brookwood and went all over her body. It is so pitiful when this happens! She starts to scratch and feels miserable! I haven't found a cause for this yet but it is another problem for her skin. She already has dry skin that I keep covered in the mildest lotions and oils. I really hope she grows out of this! On a brighter note, she is "talking" all the time now. I think she'll speak full sentences by 6 months ;0)

OK, so now I'm a blogger! I'll try to keep this thing updated but with a 4 month old it may be hard! Right now she is asleep so I'm able to write but my time is limited. Isabella has been a little fussy the past few days and chewing on her fingers which makes me think the may start cutting teeth soon. Even when she doesn't feel well she is still the sweetest baby! This morning Brian had to go to work so when Isabella woke up I put her in the bed with me. She is such a sweet snuggler! I love days when I'm home with her. She is waking up now so time to wrap this up!
