The parts of Harry's brain which control speech development suddenly seem to have unlocked overnight. He's babbling with such realistic tone and has started to say some definite words. I DOWN for lie down was repeated again yesterday, along with pointing and saying OOK! OOK! (look) whenever he's excited about something and wants to show me and many other realistic sounds developing on a daily basis. It's fantastic to hear.
In other developments, my neurodermatitis has flared up again and I just about scratched my arm off last night, thus making it even more itchy and unbearable. I think that I'll make an appointment with a dermatologist now that I'm here and can do that type of thing, and get some really strong cream to deal with it.
Christmas is soon! (argh!). I have been online shopping with a vengeance. It's so great to be able to buy everything online again. Half of the stuff I'm having delivered direct to the UK but the rest is arriving here thick and fast. God knows how we're going to transport it all.
Posted by katie at October 25, 2005 11:35 AMI read your blog about ithcy arms. Are you still suffering? I too had that problem, usually in the evenings, and through the night. I have a homeopathic answer for it. It worked for me. They are Ultra Oils (flaxseed, omega oils) It worked the first day I started on the vitamin. I got them at a vitamin store. The vitamin lady told me, since it was happening in the evening my toxins were trying to release, and the arm is the only way they found to go out? Well, anyway, it worked, and please don't think I'm a wierdo, I would just like to get this info. out there for others. Let me know if it works! My itchiness was intermittent over the years, but I am now itch free!
