Goo, Goo, Goo.

(B & the spreading eczema...)

Tonight after Blake's bath he was chatting with me in a "goo, goo, gurgle, goo, gurgle, goo" fashion. Funny about the 'goo, goo' talk is that Blake has been covered in goo this whole week. Blake has always been a very, dry little guy... Since day one. He came out peeling, unfortunately, the thing about his dry skin is that it turned into eczema. It started on his chest, spread to his sides, and then up to his face, neck, & ear. Then it flared. He has been so red and itchy, and we have tried every cream! We have tried Aveeno, Aquaphor, & Mustela. It was a no-go. Dr. Benjamine told us to use Hydrocortisone and we could apply a lotion over it if we wanted to. Thankfully it seems to be working, on the down side he looks like he face-planted into a vat of Crisco! For a while there I was afraid to take him out in fear that people would think I gave him some weird rash. Eczema or no eczema, he is still one cute, albeit gooey, little man.

(Eczema at it's worse... =( )

(Gooey Baby B looking a little bit better.)
