When we were in Kirksville, Sami had some bad bouts of eczema. I think the weather was just so extreme that is was hard on her. So we put a humidifier in her room, changed her soaps, and only gave her baths two or three times a week. Her skin did get better and we haven't had any problems for a while. I took her to her new doctor a couple of weeks ago, and she said that new research has just come out saying that babies with eczema should get a bath every day because it helps them to have clean skin. That was great news for us because Sami loves her bath. Not to mention that she gets very messy now that she's eating table food. So every night Jonathan gives Sami a bath. They get to spend that time together and it helps me because I am having a hard time bending over the tub these days.
Jonathan always plays with her hair when she gets out of the tub. He calls it her "wild woman" look. But look at those eyes, have you ever seen prettier eyes?!
And I feel bad about this, but I had to post the picture because it's so funny. I had the camera on the wrong setting and the flash was on. Sorry Sami, Mommy will try not to blind you next time. But thanks for being a good sport.

That's interesting to learn, because my kids have eczema too. But I have only been bathing them twice a week. I'll have to try the daily thing.
What gorgeous blue eyes Sami has! The pictures definately show her personality, from camera-happy to flash-mad! She's a sweetheart :)
Loved the first photo of Sami in the towel--yes she does have gorgeous eyes, but then I'm a bit prejudiced!!! Hope the eczema improves--my kids had it too.
