While Eliana napped I did some
research and reminded myself how important and helpful it is for her little
booty to be exposed.
And here’s how it
went down:
I put down some
disposable diaper pads and kept a bunch of toys on hand to give to her or make
noise with in order to distract her. It probably helped that I hovered over her
and let her pull and yank on my hair as much as she wanted. Anything to help
the baby, huh? Oh, yeah, and I
blew air onto her exposed parts to dry them off. I wish I got a picture of the
look she gave me. “Really, Mommy? You’re blowing on my butt?!”
The first time I
attempted this, Eliana actually stayed on her back for about 20 minutes before
getting bored and wanting to army crawl anywhere else. The second attempt only lasted about
10 minutes. It ended with me wrestling a butt-naked Eliana back onto the pads
while she smacked at my hands. I was barely able to apply the multiple creams on her booty and get
enough cream off my hands in order to close the diaper before she got away.
She’s a strong little one. She definitely cursed me out in her own little baby
babble.
Thankfully, she
seems to be feeling a bit better today. Yesterday she was fussy and clingier
than usual.
 |
| You'd be unhappy too with a fungus on your butt. |
Today, her rash looks much less scary and she’s up to her usual
antics.
For example:
Making new friends
 |
| With Camille the Cat |
Helping me keep the
floors clean
 |
| Who needs a Swiffer? |
Doing some quality
control checks
 |
| They say these don't break. Let me see if that's true. |
 |
| Nope. No holes in this bottle. |
 |
| Hmm, can I get in here somehow? |
Spreading some birthday cheer
 |
| Happy Birthday, Uncle Greggy! |
Making her hourly attempt at indulging in her foot fetish
 |
| Almost got it! |
Working on crawling
 |
| Any day now! (Yikes!!) |
Reading some books
Trying to sit up
 |
| So many books, so little time! |
 |
| Look at me!! |
And of course, eating!
 |
| Oatmeal with bananas makes me feel better. |
 |
| And this feels good on my two teeth. |
Just a typical day!
