Cute picture and health update



Here is a cute picture of Quinn and her Uncle David with big smiles behind the pacifier. She is such a smiley little thing most times. Which is so great for the obsessive worrier of a parent that I am, I do try to control it! She has been diagnosed (if you want to use that word) with eczema on her face, ankles, and elbows. We are trying various creams and ointments and given her skins tendency to break into rash and hives the pediatricians office thinks that she will be the kid that needs to go to the allergist. She will probably have food allergies as well so we may end up being vegan again not by choice. She is a good sport and doesn't scratch too much and puts up with us rubbing random stuff all over her all the time. On a happier note we went to the pediatric ophthalmologist and instead of having actual strabismus she has psuedo-strabismus most likely because of her asian heritage...check out the links for information if interested. So no glasses yet but she goes back in at 2 1/2 or 3 and we will see then!

Aww, I feel Quinn's pain. I had strabismus as a child too. I had glasses at 3 and did eye exercises too. It definately helped and can only see it in pics when I'm tired. I know great eye dr who does the eye training if she needs it when older. Eczema or not- cute as a button!
