I Love Diaper Derm

 

When Ian was in the NICU, we were introduced to this wonderful bum cream, Diaper Derm.  It is so light and non greasy.  I have tried many products that say they are non greasy, but this is the first that truly isn't.  We have 3 different types of diaper rash creams here that we were gifted, but the only one I love is this one.  The others leave a little greasy film on my fingers.  This is definitely a good product.

Diaper Derm isn't sold in stores here in Florida, I checked, but I did find them online.  For your baby's bum, you should try Diaper Derm.  It is only $6.50 a jar and you can get it at www.diaperderm.com.

Have a great weekend all. :)

Ian Update 8/30/12

I took Mr. Ian with me to Walmart today and while there, we saw a couple other babies that where 2 and 3 months old.  When I see him next to another baby, he is very slim compared to them.  He is just as long, just not as thick.  His cheeks aren't as fat.  When he has no other baby near him to compare and contrast, he looks a lot bigger than he really is.  He is awesome the way he is.  If he was any bigger, there wouldn't be enough time in the day for me to feed him and do other things.  He is already a handful.

He is starting to drool all over the place.  He still swallows a lot of it, but when he spends the day trying to swallow his fist, everything gets wet.  I'm just waiting for the teething to start.  It's just around the corner I'm sure. 

I start school next Thursday and I'm a little nervous.  I'm confident that I can do it and I will be able to get it done, but it is just the time I am going to have to sacrifice with him.  He already doesn't like it when I'm on the computer trying to write or internet surf.  He kicks are already so strong, he might do some serious damage to my laptop soon.  All about him right?  Right!

He is my favorite person right now.  He makes me laugh all the time.  I am enjoying watching his development and growth.  Cherishing the times!

Great American Photo Contest

8/26/12

Mr. Ian and I have had a pretty busy week/end.  On Saturday, I took him to his first wedding and he looked so cute.  I wish I was able to take pictures, but I left my camera at home and my phone was acting funky.  It is beyond time for an upgrade.

We have been having such a very good time, but now its time for me to get back on schedule.  Ian is not going to like it, but he has to get used to me doing school work when we would usually spend time together.  He is very vocal about his displeasure.

He is getting so big now.  I took him to two of his doctors appointments this past Friday and my little man is 12.5 pounds and 24&1/4 inches.  He is growing healthy and happy.  I couldn't ask for anything more.  Even though we have a few more appointments than fully developed healthy babies, we are right on track to catch up with them.  He is finally on the growth curve, measuring in the 2-5 percentile.

He's trying everything too.  He likes me to hold him up as if he's walking from time to time, if I don't he yells at me.  I'm afraid my dream of him walking before he can crawl might possibly come true.  He tries to crawl, but gets frustrated if his foot doesn't catch anything and he doesn't move forward.  His protesets are cute.  My big boy :).

Update 8/20

Ian and I had a great weekend and day today.  We've been to the pool a couple of times and he really likes the water.  We also went to the beach for the first time this weekend and had a great time.  I don't know what I'm going to do with him, but I know that what ever activities he chooses to get in to, I'm on board.

It's been a crazy two weeks for me, and craziest of all is I have enrolled in college once again as a full time student.  Ian does not like me having to much time away from him on the computer.  He still kicks at it when he gets frustrated and I suspect that it is only going to get worse.  I'm cool with it though.  He is the man of my life and I have to make concessions for his tantrums.  Mainly because he doesn't have too many.  I love it.

My Little Swimmer

It's been a busy couple of days with family in from out of town, my work, and taking care of Ian.  I haven't had a chance to write.  Since he's taking a quick nap though, I am sneaking in this post before the weekend. 

I took Mr. Ian to the pool yesterday with his Godsister/Cousin to see how he took to the water.  He loved it.  He was trying to float on his own and if I trusted him to not drink the water (which I don't), he would have tried swimming on his belly too.  He is an awesome baby.

His Godmother took a few pictures of us in the water enjoying ourselves and I will share one with you.  Have a Great weekend everyone.

 

Getting to Know You

I know the getting to know you period with Ian is going to last for the rest of our lives because the more he grows, the more he comes in to his own, and that won't stop.  Right now he tries to talk to me, he smiles and laughs with me, and he fusses at me too.   I love it, it's all funny to me.

We are expecting some visitors that we are excited to see, well that I'm excited to see.  One of his Godmothers and my Goddaughter.  We are going to the pool and the beach and I'm going to see how Ian handles those activities because right now he loves the water when he takes baths.  He cries when I take him out of the water, but I suspect that it's because he doesn't like getting dressed, lol.

More than anyone else he knows who I am.  When it reaches 9pm, he has to be near me or he has a problem.  My family says its because that's around the time I used to leave the NICU every night and he would be looking out for me.  During the day he's fine, as long as your feeding him he has no problem being with you.  He's a man about his stomach, a man after my own heart.

Even though right now he doesn't really understand what I'm telling him when I show him different fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, he'll learn early how to be mommy's little helper in the kitchen.  That is until he grows and gets tired of being attached to my hip.
