Marc and Marilyn and Andrew!

Ok so we’re a lil late in posting about our birthday celebration but we’ve been busy :/

Anyways, it was an awesome 30th bday.  On our actual birthday, Marilyn and I both took the day off and decided to have fun at the Long Beach Aquarium.  It was pretty good we got there early  because by the time we left, the place was crowded.  I think we may need to get an aquarium for the house because Andrew seemed mesmerized by the lil fishes

After the aquarium, we went to Mommy & Me class.  Those classes are so much fun and I wish I can go with Marilyn and Andrew more.

For dinner, we decided to hit up Don Antonio’s for dollar night tacos   Glad to know Marilyn loved the potato tacos.  We’ll be seeing you more Don Antonio’s at Wednesday nights.

As for the duh moment, we totally forgot to charge our camera battery for the fun on Saturday.  We had an awesome lunch at the YardHouse and followed that up with bowling at the Lucky Strike.  We have to get the pictures off our phone and I will upload them later.

We want to thank all our family and friends who celebrated our 30th birthday and made it an awesome experience.  We love you all!

It took several tries to finally capture it on film but Andrew can now turn over on his own.  He started being able to turn last week but he wasn’t able to get his arms unstuck from under him.  Well a couple days later, our boy figured it out.  He sure is a smarty!!!  Only thing is that he is not an ambi-turner  He can only turn to the right lol.  Watch and be amazed!!!

It was truly an honor to be a part of Warren & Steph’s Wedding Celebration.  It was an incredible wedding and here are some pictures that hopefully captured the day’s awesomeness

This past weekend, we celebrated Juliet & Jose’s Baby Shower.  Lots of friends, tons of food and lots of fun!  We can’t wait to meet the new addition to the family!

We were so glad we are able to meet up with Kara (and Robert and Susan) for Kara’s birthday.  That place where we ate at was the bomb!!!  We definitely have to hit that place up again.

A trip to R-Ranch had to be cancelled due to fires in the Kern area.  So, we decided to hit up Palm Desert and stay in a resort.  While the temperature hit triple digits during the day, it was tons of fun just hanging out with the family.

is right around the corner. I can not wait to celebrate this holiday with Andrew. I’ve been perusing some sites:

As you know, Andrew has been battling cradle cap (seborrhoeic dermatitis) for a few weeks now. It seems like the warm weather is making it worse. At first, it was just rough patches, dandruff like on his head. Now, it’s spread to his face and even his tiny shoulders. Poor guy. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem itchy. Though, like most babies, Andrew rubs his face around sleepytime which irritates the skin more. During the day, he seems pretty unaffected by the “itchies”. Cradle cap is supposed to go away on its own with time but it’s gotten pretty bad.

We’ve tried most home/online remedies that we’ve read up on, but decided to take him to the doctor to get more help. He gave us some tips on how to control the rash and referred us to a dermatologist whom we see in a few days. I’m hopeful he will be able to help us out.

I even took Andrew to see an Eastern Medicine Chinese doctor, recommended by a friend of ours whose baby was treated/cured for an eczema like rash. He gave me his advice (feed the baby soymilk only – no breastmilk, no formula, no cow’s milk) and mixed up some crazy herbs to give to Andrew 3 times a day. Eastern medicine is based on concoctions of herbs and roots though the contents of them are unknown to the patient. I haven’t acted upon any of his advice but I was curious to see what he had to offer. I think it’s fair to say, most parents will try almost anything to help out their child.

What’s the cause? Overactive sebaceous glands due to mother’s hormones still circulating the babies immature immune system. Cradle cap is not indicative of poor hygiene,  my breastfeeding or Marc’s “itchy kisses” from his nonexistent beard.

If any of you know of anything that can help, please pass your info this way. Thanks
