in addition to all her other nicknames, one that has been in heavy rotation for the past few weeks is "face." just -- face. i don't really know why, it's just that she's just a little face. "oh, face!" we say. "hi, face! oh, why you got such a sad face on your face?" stuff like that.
anyway, today face had to go to the doctor. she's had a rash on her cheeks for the past few days and she's been scratching at it to the point that we've had to cover up her hands with little socks to keep her razor-nails away from her poor skin. sitting in the waiting room, she was a bit apprehensive.

daddy told her it would only hurt a little bit,

but she didn't believe him.

turns out, mommy and daddy (well, mostly mommy) need to do a better job of cleaning face's face and neck. it may be funny to call it a cheeseneck, but when breastmilk collects in there, and on her skin, it gets sticky and itchy and rashy. so -- nightly baths from now on! the bonus? we just made the happy discovery that a warm tub cures the evening fussies, at least as long as she's in there.
she loves the water, just like her daddy.

i love "face!" i say it all the time to lily, mostly because she looks like what would happen if walter matthau mated with a monkey, but still...it says so much without actually having to say much at all.
also, i'm gonna need some of those those star pj's. soooooo cute.
