sometimes its better and sometimes its worse then this
water play! Fiona loves the sand and water table from Grandma and Grandpa Knoth. We fill it with hot water!
Our smiley girl!
Here is where I stray from my usual happy news and updates.... After all parenting isn't just about the happy bits!
What a long week I've just had! Brian was in Seattle for training and my back and hip were killing me. It is really hard to keep up with a toddler (and daycare kiddos) when you are in constant pain! Thankfully Brian is home now and I got some treatment from Zoya which has helped with my back pain. I'm still sore but not nearly as bad as before. Fiona and I were both thrilled to get Brian home last night though.
Fiona's rash is not improving which has been really frustrating for us. We are now treating it with an antibiotic ointment. We've tried eliminating various foods, treating it as a bacterial infection, and now we are treating it as a fungal infection. If this is not it then we will eliminate wheat from our diets. Since she is still nursing she and I have to give up these things together. And since we are giving them up, Brian might as well too! I just want it to go away, we've been dealing with this for months! GRR!
That's all for now... I'm going to go crawl in bed with my sleeping girl for a bit of a nap!
Today she's a sassy little thing running around the yard in funky sun hats and shades and taking walks through the neighborhood with Papa. She is embracing toddlerhood with gusto! Brian and I are learning how to parent this little girl who is showing more and more independence all the time. As Brian said, it was much easier when she was a baby and didn't have an opinion about everything! She is a Jacobson girl after all and we like to do things our own way!
