Big Girl!

Emily had her 6 month check up and (ouch) shots today. Apparently she's a sizable baby-topping out in the 95th percentile on height and weight. She also has a big noggin! It's in the 95th too. She's 18lbs-2oz and 27" long.

She does have some eczema that seems to be spreading. Her pediatrician gave me a script for a steroid cream, but I don't really want to use it unless it's necessary. So pray for her and if any moms have experience or suggestions...I'm open.

Here's short clip of Emily playing with a balloon. She loves this balloon! I may just always keep a helium balloon in the house for her to play with!

By the way, anyone with kids who love Backyardigans will probably recognize the song in the back ground--that's Ryan singing it.

Okay...so I have been trying to plump Abby up a little over here because Emily has surely passed her up...and she is 6 months younger. Abby also had eczema. We used the cream about 3 times, but I mostly used Aquaphor and changed the kids bath products to Aubrey 100% organic and natural. We have had no problems since. Just check into it! Will be praying for Emily! Love you guys!

Could she be any cuter?! I'll have to try balloon entertainment with Ava. Kati has eczema too and I didn't want to use the steriod creams either. Another mom recommended Eucerin cream and it has made a big difference.

Eucerin has helped Moriah as well. I had to use it several times a day until the eczema improved. They also have a baby wash.
