Nick and I are so excited to have finally started a place for everyone to come see our updates on baby Makayla. I know that we have not been the best at keeping everyone informed but this should help. We are so happy about our newest addition to our family Makayla Rose Johnson and can't wait to share everything with you.

Milk - oh no not another nono

Makayla started drinking Milk for the first time on August 22nd. Nick and I were supper excited to be able to start transitioning off of formula. But as everyone knows with Makayla there is always surprises. On the 23rd Makayla started getting blotchy red spots on her face which look almost like dry patches yet they are tinted pink/red, I didn't think much of it though at the time. But then on the 24th Makayla came home with a minor rash in her diaper area. Which is very unuasual for her. Believe it or not Makayla has only had two diaper rashes in her 13 months of life and they were minor and went away in a couple of hours after putting ointment on them. This was one of those, so I thought. The next day makayla went to Nana's with no rash it had gone away overnight but again by the time she came home it was awful! Matter of fact I know I have lack of experience with diaper rashes but it was the worst thing I had ever seen. It was totally red, blistered and swollen. So the only thing that was different in her diet was the milk so this could be a reaction. I spoke with the doctor on the 26th and they prescribed ointment and also made us go on lactois free milk. They are not possitive but think she may be lactoise intollerant. So back to always needing "special" things for Makayla. I guess it's ok though as I at least most of her ailments are not serious. We will try milk again in a month so wish her luck. All and all though Makayla is doing wonderfully just a few hickups along the way.
