genetics strikes again

i took evelyn to the dr today for a rash and an unknown odd looking, red circle on her leg. the dr took one look at the red circle and said, "well that is a birth mark, and she's really got some sensitive skin, doesn't she." i think this means she may be walking the same sensitive skin road as her momma. poor thing. at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel and my skin somehow made it out fairly unscathed.

now we do the big switch. we switch to sensitive wipes, different lotions, and body washes....yipee, what fun. but its more than that. i've noticed for a while now that when she is in diaper only and someone handles her a rash breaks out all over her back and tummy. and when she is on the carpet or rugs with her legs exposed she gets a red rash that really takes hours to go away. poor little peanut looks like a peppermint most of the time. it ain't pretty. but we still love our little peppermint patty baby.

the dr also noticed that she is cutting her top two teeth. she got her bottom middle two in her 4th month. i suppose its about time for the next one to torture her and in turn us. cutting teeth is just non-stop fun for all involved. fun for the whole family indeed.

and now, now that my little peppermint patty has taken her leave of us for the evening, making her way into dreamland i can't help but wonder what she dreams about. i bet she dreams of her favorite toys: guapo the snail, bizzy the bug, bumble the bee... or maybe she dreams of the last piece of ice she went to town on before bedtime. now that i really think about it i should be stealing myself away and trying to find dreamland myself. it's not always as easy as it should be.

i'll let you know when those teeth break on through to the othah side. break on through to the othah side...
