Blogging LOA?

Is there such thing as taking an LOA from blogging? If so, I totally qualified this past week. We've been so busy in and out of the doctor's office this week I haven't had time to do anything.

Kevin's yeast infection came back with a vengeance and took over his entire bottom. He was in so much pain at school he wouldn't even sit down. After 2 visits to the doctor they confirmed that it was indeed a yeast infection and put him on more medicine.

We are also on a "no milk" diet for 2 weeks. The doctor thinks there is a connection between his eczema and the milk - possibly a milk allergy that we are not aware of. If the eczema clears up in 2 weeks, it's soy milk for Kevin!

Ben is off this weekend and we are cleaning out our current office and making it a work out room/Kevin's play room. Before and after pictures coming soon! We are also remodeling the bathrooms in our house and putting down hardwood floors. Lots going on in our little world and Kevin is right smack dab in the middle of it all.

Santa, signing and sleeping

My mom and I took Kevin to NRH2O this weekend for their annual Christmas in the Park festivities. He was so good and we had so much fun. Kevin got his picture taken with Santa...which he wasn't too happy about but cute none-the-less.

Kevin is also mastering his sign language skills like crazy! He's seriously able to communicate with us all the time now. We know everything - when he's hungry, thirsty or sleepy. He is now nodding or shaking his head when answering us. I think that's the cutest thing ever. He wants to walk everywhere by himself...where only 2 months ago he wanted to be carried everywhere even though he could walk. He swings his little arms and claps his hands like he's big stuff. He's doing so good in school and has passed his separation anxiety stage. I don't usually even get a wave good-bye anymore!

He's also picked up on how great naps are. My mom says he's definitely my child! Every chance he gets at home on the weekends, he's wanting to take a nap - morning or afternoon. Saturday he took a 3 1/2 hr nap - that's my boy : )

We're definitely loving this toddler stage and all the excitement it is bringing us. He's just a fun little boy with a big personality. It doesn't get much better than this.

Welcome Eczema - NOW GO AWAY!!

Kevin had his follow up appointment this morning from our urgent care visit. The yeast infection has grown and spread so he's on another medicine for that. It looks so bad but I'm hoping this new stuff works fast.

On top of that - he has eczema. YUCK! We've known about his sensitive skin since he was born and apparently the weather change has caused an outbreak of eczema on his arms, feet and bottom. We're trying a new medicine to see if it works. He will also be known as the Aveeno baby after this. He can only use Aveeno products - shampoo, lotion, body wash, etc. He's getting more expensive the older he gets - but he's so stinking cute, whatcha going to do but love him?

That's the update on my rash and eczema infested child. Did I mention that he says "hi" to everyone now? It's so cute.
