Coughing Fits and Checking In

The Boy has had a cough for the past few days so Denis is taking him to the pediatrician today. I hope they give us good meds that CootieBoy likes because CootieBoy HATES meds – even if they do taste like bubble gum.
We also had to postpone his 2-yr checkup again because Denis is [...]

Another Haircut

Last night while CootieBoy was having a bath I grabbed the scissors from the cabinet and gave him a much needed haircut. I only cut the back because I knew Denis would have a fit if I cut off the top. When his hair got wet he practically had a mullet in the [...]

And One More Time

Milk Allergy, Pt. 2

CootieBoy has done with with his soy bottles so far. He slept from 11 a.m. til after 3 a.m. and after his bottle went right back to sleep. But the most remarkable thing was that when I dropped him off at Ms. Deby’s house I stroked his cheek and his baby acne was [...]

Milk Allergy?

CootieBoy is a fussy baby. I’ve mentioned that before, but today I found a few minutes to hop online and do some research. Now, I’m not like my mom – I don’t hear one symptom and predict impending doom (“Mom, I have a headache.” Her response: “It’s a tumor! Call a doctor!”) [...]
