Haven't posted in a few days because nothing much has been going on! Joshua has had a pretty bad diaper rash for almost a week now. I called the pediatrician earlier this week, because we already had an appointment scheduled for this coming tuesday I didn't want to bring him in again if I didn't have to! Poor kid is going to think the doctor's office is his second home at the rate we've been visiting lately!
So anyways, the nurse told me it was probably a bad skin yeast infection because of the warm weather and humidity on Sunday. It was the first day he was outside all day, and the combination of the heat and a bulky diaper is apparently not a good one! The nurse told me if I didn't want to bring him in I could try using a combination of Lotramin and Petroleum jelly, so we've been putting on the lotramin 3 times a day, and covering it with Vaseline before we re-diaper him. She also said to let hin stay naked at least 15-20 minutes between diaper changes to allow him to air dry because the air helps heal it too. Today he is looking much better, still a little red but much let than before, not so dry and sore and puffy looking now!
Joshua really loves his exersaucer now that he has figured it out! He gets his feet on the bottom and spins himself all around and hops up and down. He smiles and squeals when he is sitting in it (usually) He is getting pretty good at pushing the buttons and playing with the toys on it too. He really likes to take the blocks off the alligator and throw them over the edge, luckily they are attached with a string so i don't have the pick them up over and over again :-P
So that's all that is new! Grammy Kelley is coming over today so I can go do some adult things today and tomorrow Jay and I are going hiking with Jay's friend Jon and his girlfriend. Should be a good "adult" weekend for us!
