June

After we waited the 2 weeks to see if the soy formula would be better for him, we decided to change him to the Alimentum formula.  It is more expensive but it seemed to be almost an instant change for Tyson.  He was much happier.  It was a hard choice to make because his face cleared up from the eczema pretty good once we started the soy (and were using the hydrocortisone cream) and once we started the Alimentum formula he got red and rashy around his mouth almost instantly.  We were hopeful that by changing his formula that the rest of the eczema would go away.  We got an appt with a pediatric dermatologist but it was not until the end of July.  We did discover that Cetaphil helped the most with somewhat controlling the eczema but it didn't totally go away.  His elbows were horrible and we would put gloves on his hands to keep him from scratching at it.  Since he couldn't scratch he would just rub his elbows against anything he could until they would be raw and start to bleed.  Poor little guy.  Here are a bunch of pictures from June. 

 

 

Enjoying some time in the swing that our friends loaned us - he loves to have his hands, fist, or fingers in his mouth - 6/2/12 at about 2 1/2 months

Jackson likes to play with this snowman tin and put it on his head - 6/3/12

After all of the fun Jackson has had with this snowman tin it is now dented in several places!!

Not enjoying his tummy time - 6/5/12

Looks like he decided to tolerate it at least - sometimes when he cries he sticks his lip way out and gets frowny - it is so cute

 



Not real thrilled about the hat we put on his head to try and keep him from clawing his poor head - you can see how rashy his cheeks are in this picture - 6/9/12 at 2+ months

Playing with daddy in his sleeping bag - 6/10/12

Having a nice nap while Jackson is playing with daddy - 6/10/12

Nice little cheese pose - it is hard to get Jackson to stop moving and look at the camera these days

Tyson is getting better at grabbing onto his toys - here he is grabbing at the frog - 6/13/12 at 2+ months

What cute brothers - Tyson isn't so sure in this picture!!  It appears that Tyson wore the same thing as he did the day before!! - 6/14/12

Jackson trying to hold onto Tyson who is thinking I am out of here

So hard to get good pictures of two little boys - but it is funny seeing all of the attempts!!

Lounging with daddy - Jackson is laying on a roll of batting that he likes to get out and jump on or slide onto - I bought it for a craft that I never made - hopefully this year I will get it done!! - 6/14/12

Giving dad a hug - he sure loves his daddy!

Tyson is such a happy and smiley guy - he will laugh a little bit too - 6/14/12

You can kind of see his red rashy elbows in this picture

 



Tyson does not enjoy sitting in the bumbo seat - 6/15/12

Somewhat tolerating it - he was not a fan and was only in the seat for maybe 5 minutes because he hated it

Tyson at 3 months old - he loves to kick his legs and flap his arms - he does it alot and especially if someone is talking to him - he gets so excited and this is his way to show it - he is laughing more and smiling alot - 6/16/12

Doing better at grabbing and playing with toys now - 6/16/12 at 3 months old
