Allergies & Smiles

It seems that Katherine has inherited more than her Mama's eyes and mellow personality. She has allergies! She is allergic to the regular baby lotion that makes her smell so good. Instead we have to apply Eucerin lotion morning and night. She's also been sneezing, coughing and snorting. The allergens at this time of year bother me more than any other time (even with my daily allergy pills), and they are bothering Katherine also. The doctor said she is too young for us to do anything about it other than try to keep her nose suctioned. Last weekend, Katherine rubbed her eyes constantly and scratched up her face. Our efforts to keep her hands away from her eyes this week were successful, and she is looking much better. Through all of it, Katherine is still a happy baby sharing more and more smiles every day.


Looking pitiful last Saturday.

Studying the singing frog.

Laughing at the singing Daddy.

Holding her head up even longer.

Eyeballing her Mama.

Growing weary of the paparazzi.
