January Lowlights

So, I'm pretty sure that lowlights is not a real word but I did a January highlights and now it's time to explain why I haven't blogged for a while. One word summation would be Lily. That sweet little darling who came into our lives almost 16 months ago.
A few days after the Ginos family left Lily started to get teeth. We thought we would be excited for her getting teeth but with it came the acid poop. I'm good about changing my kids frequently during the day and especially if they are poopy but I am no match for acid poop. Needless to say, she got a horrible diaper rash. It was so bad that she was bleeding. So I spent those January days sitting next to Lily who was sitting on a blue chuck pad. Everytime she pooped (she also had diarrhea) I rushed her into the bathroom and rinsed off her little bum. Then I dried her off and cleaned up the acid poop and put her on another blue chuck pad and we would start the process over. I tried everything under the sun for the rash and nothing helped so... after many frusterating days I got on the friendly world wide web and researched home remedies for diaper rash. I made my own butt cream and started doing salt baths. The result = no more rash, at least for a few days until she started to get the bottom teeth. She now has four cute little teeth and she worked hard to get each one. This whole ordeal is summed up nicely in one little paragraph but for us it was TWO weeks.
During the past month Lily also got her first ear infection. So that was another fun experience of a fussy kid.
Lily also had her 15 month check-up and vaccinations. She's one of those kids that vaccinations make super irritable. Ollie was always fine with immunizations but Lily- she gets a fever and is GRUMPY!!
So... I spent most of the past month trying to take care of a grumpy toddler and an energetic preschooler.
