Like most little kids, our girls LOVE to play outside. The down side to all of this is that Makenna and Maryn have eczema and as a result are very sensitive to the sun. We just realized recently that almost all sunscreens cause a photoallergic response in our girls and thus make everything worse when they are exposed to the sun. We have spent a good portion of the beginning of the summer dealing with itchy, red eczema rashes which sometimes even get so bad they scab and bleed. Poor girls. I finally found two options of sunscreen that are available online that we are going to try. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will work.
Makenna has taken off on her bike this summer and loves riding on the sidewalk back and forth in front of our house. She continues to be extremely social and most often you can find her playing with one of the neighbor girls. Maryn has taken a liking to Makenna's scooter and takes off following Nenny on that. She also likes her little bike and does quite well at pedaling (just hasn't figured out that she needs to steer at the same time). We just pulled out the new exersaucer that Poppy got for us at a garage sale and let Maya enjoy some outdoor fun with us! She really liked it!

Great pics Katie! I have the exact same issues with my skin, sun and ezema. It didn't start until a few years ago. I have started using a sunblock from my dermatologist called Vanicream. It is free of dye, lanolin, fragrance, paraben, or formaldehyde. It smells and feels like 'nothing'! You can get it in the Derm office or online if interested. www.psico.com What kind are you ordering for the girls and any success with it?
I am always interested! Keep up the good blogging:)
