Babies are way to much fun! Layla turned 6 months old yesterday! She is sitting up by herself and loves to be moving. Speaking of moving....She has just about figured it out with the whole crawling thing. She now gets up on all fours and starts pushing herself forward. She has been a joy to have in our home!

Peek-A-Boo

I have started to do my makeup in Layla's bathroom. The light in there is better!!So I put her in her crib while I got ready and when I looked to see what she was doing she was peeking at me through her crib rails. It was cute! Pretty soon I think she will be able to pull herself up! I eventually put her on the floor by her mirror and she loved looking at her self!

Our Little Screamer!

Layla just loves to scream!! She does this for a good portion of the day. When she really gets going is right around her bed time. We think this video is hilarious, we hope you think so to!

To The Doctors We Go!

Layla is still having this diarrhea. It has been almost two weeks. The Dr. thinks that it isn't Rotavirus and that it is something else. This little one has lost some weight and has to have soy formula for the next few days (the soy is to help with her diarrhea). Right before I got Layla out of the car I could hear her grunting away, then I heard the explosion in her pants. I was crossing my fingers that some how it stayed in her diaper. I didn't bring an extra outfit, because I knew we wouldn't be there long. So sure enough when I get she has poo all over her clothes. The wee one had to ride home in only a diaper...
SO, now the Dr. wants us to get a stool sample of her poo. She recommended we put plastic in her diaper and when she goes to pour her liquid poo into the specimen cup. Kind of ridiculous. Oh, and the specimen has to get to the lab within about an hour....even more crazy! The joys of motherhood.

Waiting for the Doctor!
Ready to go home!

Poo...Poo...and More Poo

Little Miss Layla has been battling Rotovirus for a week and a half! Along with that she has gotten a super bad diaper rash. She would scream every time we changed her. It just broke Paul and mines heart to see her hurt. Her temp. also spiked up to a 101.6, but came down quickly with the help of Tylenol and a cold wash cloth to the head. One of the nights I called the Dr. and she gave me some great tips to help with her diaper rash. I wanted to share them with you! Maybe you will learn a new trick..

• 
  Mix Mylanta and your favorite diaper rash ointment together and apply liberally to bum. The Mylanta acts as an anesthetic, so their bum won't hurt as bad and also neutralizes the acid from the diarrhea.
  
• Bake flour in the oven until you smell it, let it cool and apply to bum like baby powder. This also helps soak up the liquid and help keep the babies bum dry.
  
• If its a pretty bad diaper rash immediately stop using wipes. Some wipes have alcohol it and can make the rash worse. Every time your little one poos wash them off with just water and a rag! Let them air dry then apply diaper rash cream (the thicker the better). Hopefully your baby doesn't mind getting wet!

Despite all the baths she has been getting and the awful diarrhea Layla has been a happy child. It show in the pictures...

Paul and I tended to our niece and nephews while Paul's brother Dave and his wife Kristin were in Mexico. We were there from Tuesday to Saturday night. It was pretty good time watching the kids. They are so well behaved. We really only had to feed them;clean up diarrhea off of the rugs 'cause Kara didn't quite make it to the bathroom; clean Tinks mouth from eating that diarrhea; watch lots of Sponge Bob and eat waaaaaay to much junk food! Oh, and Layla had Rotovirus and a really bad diaper rash we were battling to! All in all it was a great time.
