raising pratt.

so we're dealing with a little bit of cradle cap. if you haven't dealt with this...consider yourself lucky. it's funky. it's a dry scalp which flakes off. and again...it's my fault.

i mean, it's supposedly because of the woman's hormones. of course, it is. what isn't? baby acne, cradle cap...the list goes on and on...

anyway, i've been putting apricot oil on his head and brushing off the loose skin. i took this picture to document it.

after taking it, i couldn't help but notice that he looks like he belongs to h.i. and edwina from raising arizona. maybe it's the oily hair. something about it screams, "turn to the left!"

either that...or maybe he looks like cousin eddie's kid from national lampoon's vacation.

poor pratt. he doesn't stand a chance...

There is a brand at babies r us that i use. Mustela foam shampoo for newborns (blue and white bottle). Works great for cradle cap and smells like daffodils!

Vaughn had baby acne up until about two weeks ago. Juliette had cradle cap. I used to pick at it constantly...grose huh?

Hannah, you crack me up! I hadn't thought of Raising Arizona in ages-too funny. Thomas had cradle cap (or "crap) as we liked to call it, also. It goes away, it's no big deal. You're such a great mommy already.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
