Finn has really good communication skills, but one thing that has persisted is his inability (i.e. unwillingness) to say the "th" sound. This is VERY common for kids his age, but the frustrating thing for us is that he COULD say it when we asked him to, he just didn't when he was speaking. Well, yesterday, like some switch flipped, he just started saying it correctly in his every day speaking (for the most part!)! I will be sad when he loses all of his little "mistakes" with speech, because I think they are so cute, but I guess that is part of growing up.
After only three days, Korri's skin is amazingly better! In fact, I don't think anybody else would even notice that she has eczema at all! The redness and scaliness is completely gone and now her skin is just a little rough, which I'm sure will also improve. Her head is still dry, only because I can't really get the medication to her scalp because her hair is so long. I've contemplated shaving her head until it clears up, but can't really see myself doing that! She also seems in much better spirits. Not sure if there is a correlation or not, but I'll take it. I haven't noticed Finn's skin getting any better, but we are just doing OTC HC for him. I might try Korri's cream on him a couple times to see if that helps.

Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Glad to hear K's skin is better. I bet the fact she is in a better mood is a result of her feeling better :)
