Looking Good!

Emily was finally feeling great this weekend. She was a lot of fun all weekend and so interactive with us. When she was at daycare today, her teachers kept saying that she was so funny and was just a riot today. Apparently she was doing a lot of talking and kept saying da-da-da and then would whisper it. She has been doing that a lot at home, but it seems to take her a few days before she tries that sort of thing at daycare. At naptime, she was in her crib laughing and trying to push herself up on her tummy. I guess she was pretty funny. They also said that she had really developed some skills over the last week. Just suddenly acting like a much older baby.

Since she is working so hard at getting bigger, she is making great strides in her finger foods. She can now eat most of her meal as finger food. We try to do baby food with her at the beginning of the meal, because once she gets her hands on the stuff to pick up, no chance of getting any more baby food into her.

In one of the pictures of Emily in her exersaucer, you can get a pretty good view of her 2 bottom teeth. Still nothing on top! You might need to click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see.

Greg took her to her dermatologist appointment today. She is doing great. Since her face was so red, the redness isn't quite gone, but he said it'll take a little bit of time. We can stop the steroid cream on her face, just need to keep it moisturized. Aveeno lotion or Aquaphor is the best thing. We'll still keep the steroid cream going on her hand for a few more days, but then we can moisturize that as well. He also suggested some foods that are high in enzymes to avoid, but Greg seemed to think that was to avoid them staying on her face, not in her system. Fortunately since she is doing so much with finger foods it isn't staying on her face much anymore. We're so glad that she is looking so much better.
