awww she is soooo adorable, she reminds me alot of jordynne for some reason lol. Looks like you had fun, wow she is getting big , she is about the same age as jordynne, i giv ejordynne 2 jars of baby food a day. But i mix it with rice cereal so its alittle thicker and not so watery and messy and she loves it, like the veggies and meat ones and occasionally fruit, i dont know that there is a set amount, just wahtever she will eat ya know. Just more of the meats and veggies anot like tons of the fruit ones since they love them alot more cuz they are sweet. I sometimes give jordynne club crackers to gum on and stuff, easily dissolvable foods. Even some table foods that are mushed up and stuff.

Rowan is adorable!
I love Manitoba, I have family there... haven't been in years though.

For the diaper rash try zinc oxide cream.
Sometimes it's really expensive but I buy the Teddy's choice brand, exact same formula... just cheaper.
Bella had a very bad rash when we got hom and it stayed for so long, but since I've been using this it's cleared right up.
I really like Soducrem too.

aww, baby rowan!!! I love her, she's seriously adorable. I know I say the same thing everytime you post pictures lol but I love you guys. Ainslee looks adorable, I love her hair and glasses and piercing. I told my mom I wanted it but she told me to "dream on" haha.

Awww, rowan! I love when you post pics of her! she is so cute and chunky! I like that pic of you laying down with her in the background, it's cute. Ar eyou or did you have fun even though you didn't get to camp?

Oh Tanya. You guys are all so amazingly beautiful. I can't believe Rowan is already 7 months old. She looks so much like you, & I am in love with her hair. I love you <3

Thanks Diane. I've been so scared of over feeding her, but she hasn't been eating close to 2 jars in a day ever, so I'm sure she can be eating more. When she seemed still hungry to me I just upped her formula intake.

on my way, I have been using zinc oxide cream and it's not making it go away! Thanks though. When I was breast feeding she got a diaper rash once and I just put some of my boobie milk on it and it was gone that same day.

Melissa! I am having fun, but I'm still looking way forward to going home. I miss Nathan and having lots of help with Rowan. To be honest I was very tired at the thought of two weeks straight with no breaks from Rowan. I get a break in Belleville some times, and I get to nap or go out. Actually this morning I slept at a friends house and when Rowan woke up she took her upstairs and told me to sleep in a bit, which was sooo nice. I was just scared that I would be really exhausted and feel like I needed those breaks I've gotten use to but it's really no different. It is nice to see my friends though and the trip is going fast, but I'm looking forward to going back home. Also because I'm not getting help with Rowan I'm not finding time to do my school work, which makes me feel nervous.

Terra I told Ainslee that and she was very pleased! Thank you for replying dear. Me and Rowan both love you.

Krissy, thank you! I love Rowan's hair and I am sort of hoping it ends up going redder. It will probably go white white like mine did when I was a toddler until about 4ish and then redden up like mine did. Hopefully it goes really red, I love red heads!

Thanks for the replies, I will probably add pictures tonight to this thread for those of you who looked. : )

7 months?!

she looks different to me, i guess just older. she is so so cute, i love her eyes and hair.

your friend ainslee is cute, she looks like she's related to you. you and all your friends are adorable!

i don't really have answers to your questions. it's like diane said, they stop eating when they're full (unless it's finn, he's a pig).

as for the rash, are you sure she's not having a reaction to a food? that's one of the signs of an allergy and i'm just wondering if it could be that since you said it's not clearing up. i hope you find something that works! finn's never had a diaper rash so i'm no help. i want to say maybe put some baking soda in her bath, but i don't even know where i'm pulling that idea out of.

i'll be waiting for more pics!

god shes getting so big! i missed the memo where she even started baby food. I use a d for the babies and my tattoos lol. what happened to her nose? she bonk it? I love the pic of u upsidedown, your eyes look so pretty.

Favorite!!!

Tanya, you're so gorgeous. I love your green eyes! And Rowan's a beauty like always. I love her hair!

Creams have never worked on Alyvia's rashes. What works for us is baby powder - the corn starch kind. Sprinkle a bit into her diaper and massage it into her skin, and it should help clear it up within a day. At least, that's what works for us.

As far as baby food, I would offer her a jar at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If she finishes the jar, offer her a second and see if she's still hungry. That's what I would do, anyway.

Tanya, You and Rowan are both beautiful. I really miss talking to you, but lately I don't seem to have the time for much except the babies. I'll probably try to get on messenger soon and chat though.

Bridget it's because me and Ainslee both have chubby faces!

And actually, now that you mention it, her rash does look more like an alergic reaction then an actual rash. She's going to the dr on Friday so I'll bring that up to him.

Yeah Dani, she bonked it while playing outside : (

She just started eating recently. I tried before now and then but she wasn't that interested.
Thanks Laura! I actually thought I was making a sour face in that one. I didn't like it that much.

Samantha I miss you too! You've been staying away way too long. How are you and the boys?
