Claire headed into the doctor today to check on a rash she has had for the last couple of weeks. Turns out she has eczema. She was prescribed an ointment to treat the infected areas and dad picked up a new moisturizer. We will also scale back on the number of baths she gets so we don't dry out her skin. Hopefully she will grow out of it like her cousins Nate, Liz and Adam did. On a better note, she weighed in at 12 lbs 8 oz. Mom & dad estimated low and were excited to learn she is even higher on the growth chart.
Her new favorite thing to do while under her activity gym is to roll onto her side. She has gotten so good at it she can no longer be changed on the changing table without a hand on her. Mom has taken to changing her on the floor. It's only a matter of time before she rolls all the way over.
She has also become quite the faucet. The burp cloth is a constant companion. Dad asked the doctor if Claire might be teething early. The doctor didn't think so but said it could be that they are coming in early.
Mom & dad are 'fighting' to keep Claire's thumbs out of her mouth. While she will take the pacifier when she is really tired but her favorite soothing activity is to suck on her thumb. We try to substitute the paci for her thumb but despite being tongue tied the little stinker can really push out the paci when she doesn't want to use it.
