Ty's Excema

Okay, so I'm posting about Tyler's excema(they are saying it is related to his allergy issues) to see if anyone has had any similar problems or things like this. So this was Tyler's face two weeks ago...

And now it looks soooo much better, just like a babies cheeks should look....especially his chubby cheeks so I can kiss them.

Isn't he cute.....he is the smiliest kid ever. Ok I got sidetracked from his cuteness....back to the excema. :) We got some anibiotics for his face because they said it looked infected and then we have been using some steroid hydrocortisone cream that works fabulously. The one problem is that you can't use it all the time because it is a steroid (we have used it twice now for 8 to 10 days each time). But as soon as we stop using it, literally the next day the red bumps come back. The first day there were just 3 bumps (look kind of like pimples) and then by the end of the day they were spread more down this cheek. I have been using Cetaphil cream which works great on the excema on his body, but it seems to be making his face worse or just not helping. His face is pussy...its wet if I kiss it or touch it. My doctor recommended coating him in vaseline after the bath, but seriously I don't really want an oily baby all day long. Any ideas, I would love to hear them...

Decorating the Tree

We decorated our Christmas tree a few weeks ago and it was so fun to see Jackson get so excited about it. I love this time of year but it has been extra special for Jeremy and I to see Jackson experience all of the holiday traditions for the first time. The excitement and innocence of a child is so precious; I love holidays just for that reason. And our little Tyler was such a good boy laying on the couch and staring at all of the lights.This was Jackson's decorating job... Lets just say the next morning the ornaments were secretly spread evenly around the tree. :)Our cute little boys after such a fun family tradition!
