* eczema -- he still has it, but i'm no longer as sure that it's dairy related. last weekend, griffin, edward, and i all had the stomach flu (ally somehow managed to escape it). the 2 days after i had pretty much fasted for 24 hours, i noticed that griffin's eczema was actually getting worse. why would it be worse if i wasn't even eating anything? so the mystery continues.
* day care -- he started part-time last monday and had a horrible first day. he cried a lot and refused his bottle. edward said that when he picked him up, his eyes were totally puffy. :( the good news is now he is doing fine at daycare, and so we're relieved.* sleep -- so since this past saturday (~20 wks), he has been truly sleeping through the night. he sleeps from 9:30pm to 8:30am. it's been awesome. this is the best i've slept for the last 6 months!
* physical stuff --
he isn't rolling over yet, but sure does enjoy thumping his legs on his bed. he has just started reaching for toys and grabbing things, but hasn't quite mastered it yet. still scratches his head up quite badly, so we still have to put mitts (or socks) on his hands. but when he does have bare hands, he now likes to suck his thumb. it's kinda weird to see, since ally never sucked her thumb, ever.* stranger anxiety -- he does seem to recognize people now, and stares warily at new people. but overall, he is still pretty friendly.
and how is ally doing with griffin? ally adores her little brother (so far), and gives him hugs and kisses. she does like to take his toys and claim them as her own, but is generally pretty good about giving them back to him.she also does give him the occasional smack. the other night she announced, "i want to hit di-di", and then she did. after a nice talking-to from both me and her daddy, she stated, "i can't hit di-di. just the couch." so then she proceeded to happily hit the couch.
