Tackling Eczema

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 26, 2009

So I’ve decided to try altering my diet to see if it will affect Shai’s eczema.  Since it’s hard to use the aquaphor on his face which makes his acne break out, I thought I’d try another alternative.  I did some reading online and found that diet can affect a breast feeding baby’s eczema.  It [...]

Get a Grip and a Giggle :)

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 26, 2009

Shai is flexing his fist and starting to grab onto things.  Not consciously but never the less it’s the next step!!  And more exciting is the fact that he has GIGGLED for his mama!!  Yay!!  I was so excited.  He did it 2 days ago while I was playing w/ him.  Standing him on his [...]

First Cold

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 26, 2009

A couple wks ago Oden picked up a bug and got the sniffles.  His sniffles turned into congestion and then a cough.  I tried unsuccessfully to keep Oden’s germs away from Shai but…  A few days later Shai started waking up w/ mild congestion.  Luckily it’s stayed that way.  It’s been about a wk now [...]

What’s Up These Days?

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 21, 2009

Well, not much has changed w/ the boys’ status’.  Shai is still fussy altho he seems a little more alert.  Still not sleeping thru the nite and disturbed more so when I eat fajitas.  Not sure if it’s the low carb tortilla or the onions.  I think it’s the onions, but I’m not gonna test [...]

Extremely Fussy

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 14, 2009

Shai has been extremely fussy the last cple of wks.  He has reached a phase where he is sleeping less and more aware of his surroundings.  But when he is awake, he is almost always fussing b/c he wants to sleep!!  It makes for a very difficult day trying to keep him happy.  If I [...]

Oden is Proud

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 14, 2009

So I’m starting to realize that Oden is very proud of being a ‘big boy’.  Whenever our mother’s helper, IVB, comes over, he “brags” about something new that he is up to.  A few wks ago he wanted to show off that he could get the milk, in pre-prepared sippy cups, out of the fridge [...]

Shai Smiles

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 14, 2009

Almost a wk ago (Wed 4/8 to be exact) today, our baby boy Shai smiled Of course he did it for Gma P, but all the same.  It brings so much joy to know that my baby is growing and developing!  I thought he had smiled for me before, but now it’s the [...]

Share My Cookies?!

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 7, 2009

This wkd we went to the National Zoo for the 1st time.  It was a lovely 70F spring day and we had a lovely time.  Well, as lovely a time as I could have while stressing over Shai crying in the car, in the stroller, etc.  At least Oden got to see lots of animals [...]

Changing Sleep Pattern

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 7, 2009

Well, wouldn’t you know it… as soon as I documented Shai’s sleep pattern a couple of posts ago, it changed!!  I think that very same day in fact!! He is now staying awake a bit more during the day.  About 30-60mins of awake time b/w naps.  He’s still doing the long nap mid-day (2-3hrs).  But [...]

Blue-Eyed Shai

Posted by: jandprowley on: April 7, 2009

Shai’s eye color is starting to change.  They were super dark when he was born and they are getting lighter now.  But still a dark gray-blue.  Reminds me of Oden as an infant.  I’m starting to think Shai may end up w/ the same beautiful eye color as Oden…  light gray-blue
