In the last six months I have rocked, cooed , laughed , cried, kissed, bathed, fed, changed and spent all-nighters with what looks like my last baby girl. To say I am a bit sadened is an understatement in the very least. Is 6 months really to soon to have a baby itch again ??? My only real wish is to keep her this age for the rest of her life , a chubby , wiggly, smiley , happy-go-lucky baby ..forever ..lol.
She's eating baby food now and has so far liked carrots and sweet potatoes , green beans are next on the list. Diaper changes are particularly interesting also ...I now have to peek first before I prepare for the task .haha .. Still no victories in the sippy cup department , but we're working on it ( she has yet to think it's much more than a chew toy ) . We're in to see the Doc next week , and i'm excited to see how much she's grown , and find out some info on the dry rubbery skin patches she has on her arms and abdomen , and her eye that has had a non- stop leak since birth.
I'm in to see the doctor also , because I was supposed to get my back checked out after having addison but still have yet to get in for myself (oops). Hopefully a few spots on my back are only moles and not anything to worry about ...Hate being in the hospital no matter how long the stay ....(long story involving a short cancer scare 7 years ago)
Josh finally got a new job , doing electrical at the nackawic mill ...so it's things are looking up for us ....Here's hoping it continues ...
p.s We are getting married in t- 2 months !!

OMG too funny! I think that if you want another baby go for it! you don't want to look back and say, what if I had...
What kind of sippies are you trying with her? Maybe try another type.. ?
The runny eye must be common, because she is like the third baby that I have heard the exact thing about!
I had no idea that you had a scare with cancer! That must have been devastatinly scary!!!
Yay for Josh getting a new job! You two are on a good path!! You must be getting excited and relieved about your approaching wedding I bet. Fun!!!
Jess
right now i'm using the soft avent ones , but i have some nuby ones i might test on her too ...
I think 6 months is a HUGE milestone not only for babies but for mommy's. They are doing so much and seem less dependant and you think "OMG it's already been 6 months" and you have them graduated from High School and moving away from home. LOL! If you really want a baby you'll know it from just a regualar baby itch!
Congrats to Josh!!!
And I hope your Dr. visit goes well!
The patches sound like they could just be baby eczema...my kids get that off and on all the time and her eye sounds just like Madison. If it is, they normally won't do anything other than some drops or ointment for a plugged tear duct until a year old and if it doesn't clear up by then (Madi's hasn't), then they see an opthamologist and may have to get the duct widened. That's what we're facing right now...we go in to see our Dr in a couple weeks. Blah.
Great job making it to 6 months!! I'm so proud of you!
Oh and the sippy...try giving her one of Summer's. That's what worked for Madi the first time. She snagged one of Cole's and just chugged away and hasn't looked back! She's very much in the "monkey see, monkey do" stage now.
Lily had the same problem with her eye. We tried everything that they told us, Natural Tear Drops, weak tea bags, massaging it, but unfortunatly none of that worked with her. When she was 10 months old we were send to a specialist and he decided that it would be best to unclog it. It wasnt a big procedure but was I nervous when they took her to have it done. She was put to sleep for it and was back with us after about 15 minutes. There was no after pain and from that day she has not had any leaking coming from her eye.
