5 months

Hi! It's been a while since I last posted anything but we've been busy. There are many pictures to come! I am currently working on a new website I just found that will be somewhat easier to use. It will be through Shutterfly. But for now I'll just update you on the last month...

We're all doing great! Sean started babbling a LOT the last few weeks and just a few days ago he started saying "da da da da" and "nah nah nah nah" especially when he's tired. It's obvious he's trying to communicate something to us! He is still the happiest baby ever.

Little Robert had his 1st dentist visit 2 days ago and had no cavities! He was an excellent patient! He had his teeth cleaned, x-rays taken, exam and fluoride treatment. The same day we also took him to our new pediatrician Dr. Berger. We are trying some new things to treat/prevent his eczema - cod liver oil, vitamin D, etc. The dr thinks he either has a candida infection or a food allergy. The candida tests require him to take epsom salt baths and restrict some foods for a few days. If it comes back positive, it will explain a lot...behavioral issues, insomnia, food cravings, etc. It can be treated pretty easily with a short-term Rx and diet change. I'm sure we'll still do an elimination diet/food challenge too to rule out a food allergy. Hopefully we'll be getting a full night's sleep soon!! He has been quite the sweetheart lately, though :)
