Helena
is so much fun! Although we had a rough end to our week last week as
baby girl got a horrible case of diarrhea. She was pooping every hour
for about 2 days straight! It was not fun,
for either of us. Her poor little bum was so red. And she hated being
cleaned. Thankfully she stayed hydrated and is now doing much better!
She’s
still in size 2 diapers, and size 6 month clothes, although her 3 month
onsies still work, but the pants are just too short. She growing more
and more curious about food, so I think that’ll
be on the menu once I know her diarrhea is completely cleared up. She
loves grabbing at things. She moves so much! It’s most comfortable for
her to nurse when she is tired, if not she moves her head and tries to
take my nipple with her, and that’s a little
bit painful. As difficult as nursing has been, I’m sad that it’ll soon
be over. She’s working on sitting up. She can sit up “gorilla” style
with her arms in front of her for a long time, and has a couple of times
completely balanced on her own, but only
for a few seconds. She’s a lot more steady holding up her bottle when
we bottle fed.
She
loves her play saucer thing. She’s managed just about everything on
it, but doesn’t quite get the turn seat. Before long she’ll master it!
She loves to move, and changing her diaper at times is definitely a challenge.
She loves to laugh and to talk.
She love is when I sing and sign to her. Specifically the ABC's and numbers.
She
has uber sensitive skin. We took her to the pediatrician at the end of
September because she had a horrible all over body rash. We’re now
using a baby eczema lotion, and that is helping,
although her skin is still super dry.

She is such a beautiful baby! Before you know it she's going to be moving on her OWN all over the house. That is the weirdest/coolest thing!
My kids have had that awful sore bum and it's just the worst. My trick was to not use wipes but a wet paper towel instead (the alcohol in the wipes would hurt) and then use a blow dryer on cold to blow it completely dry before putting cream and the diaper back on. It seemed to help clear it up faster. Glad she's on the mend!
