"Eat Time"...



...as Ethan says. As i type i have a very content little girl with a very full tummy that just sacked out on my lap. Again because of allergies they suggested we wait till 6 months for starting cereal, but again we have a very hungry baby that is eating every 3 hrs and waking a couple of times a night to eat so we are caving in and giving it a try. She LOVED it and seemed extremely content afterwards so we will see how long she sleeps tonight.

She had her 4 month visit last week. She weighs 13 lb. 4oz. (50th %) and is 25.4 inches (90th %) in height. She is having quite a time with her scalp being itchy. We cannot leave her hands uncovered or she goes after it and makes herself bleed and even with her hands covered will rub it pretty bad. She is rubbing a lot of her hair out just like Avery did. In 2 months they will be able to put her on Zyrtec that will hopefully help with the itching. She is still a happy baby even though she is itchy. She has figured out how to pull the socks off her hands so i am having a very hard time keeping them on. If anyone has a good idea to keep her hands covered please do share :) She still spits up A LOT so smells like puke most all of the time and goes through several outfits a day. That's ok Raegan, we love you puke and all. :)

As far as scratching her scalp, what I used to do for both of mine was clip AND file their nails so that they barely had anything to scratch with. That might help a little in her situation. (?) Just a thought. So sorry to hear that she too has such bad allergies. :(

Good job Raegan!! Maybe try putting rubber bands/hair ties on the socks so they are harder to take off???
