It's been a rough couple of weeks...

Our poor little girl.  After a stomach bug, Aberly has struggled with unending loose bowels at the same time as having a bad yeast infection which then turned in to bad diaper rash.  The doctor thinks she has had a temporary lactose intolerance due to the stomach bug so she is currently on a special formula to let her digestive system get back on track, and we are also putting her back on a jar-baby food diet with small amounts of regular food.

For her diaper rash, we are doing baking soda baths, naked time to air out, and keeping her skin covered with creams and ointments to minimize irritation.  With her poop getting back on track and "firm", this should relieve the extra irritation she was experiencing from the runs and frequent poops.

And, on top of all of this, we think Aberly is getting her upper teeth which adds to her crankiness and discomfort.  We haven't seen them yet but her restless nights are a good indication.

Despite it all, she is being a trooper and continuing to play and explore.  She's getting into her foam and board books and loves to flip the pages back and forth.  Her foam books have pull out pieces which she loves.
