9 Months (a little late)

My sweet pea was 9 months old on the 16th! Hard to believe... She is becoming such a 'little person'!
She makes us laugh EVERYDAY, multiple times a day. She has such a great personality! Always happy and always aiming to please. She loves it when she makes you laugh and will repeat whatever she is doing to make you laugh, over and over again when she realizes you are laughing at her. She loves to clap, she loves to shake her head 'no', she loves to stand up, pull up on everything including the dogs!
We went to get my MMR shot the other day so I weighed her while I was there and she is tipping the scales at 19 pounds! She is so tall you would never guess she ways that much. All of her pants are 12M and most tops are still 6-12M!

We have been so crazy busy with Graham starting school and hockey! He leaves the house at 7:30 and gets home around 7:30 (3-4 days a week)! Games start next week so we will also be losing him on Friday/Saturday nights!!!! It sucks so bad, but we know that it has to be done right now. It is defiantly a means to an end. It will be like that for the next 5 months and then it will slow down a little once hockey is over! We will be so ready for April 29th to get here.

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week!

Diaper Rash is Controlling my life

Diaper Rash is the worst thing I think I have ever encountered!!!
Hadley has been battling diaper rash (off and on) for the last 6 weeks!!! Before that she had it right after she was born but never since then!!! I feel so bad for her! We have done absolutely everything to cure it! The doctor says its just a part of teething, but OMG, she is going to get 20 teeth over the next two years??? Is her little bum going to be in misery for 2 years? We have been to the doctor several times and through 2 prescription creams... The second works for a couple of days at a time and then its back! We are only using wash clothes, not wipes... We change her at least every 2 hours, sometimes more! She screams every time she pees, or poops and is hysterical when we lay her down to change her because she knows what is coming! I feel so helpless! WHAT DO I DO!!!! If you were wondering, this occurs in the night as well!!! Good bye my great sleeper! And I am sorry but I will not let my child 'cry it out' when I know she is in pain!!!! After I change her, sometimes multiple times in the night, she goes right back to sleep, so I know that its just the burning on her bum!
Again! What do I do???
