The magic that is breastmilk!

Ok, warning this is a little "out" there. :)

I had never really thought about breastmilk and the things it could be used for other than feeding Elizabeth. That, alone, is fascinating. Something my body produces is the perfect food for my growing girl, very cool. When Elizabeth came down with Pink eye, there were 2 things that concerned me. First, where in the heck did she get pink eye?!? We are really out and about around B'ham a lot. And second, I really wanted to avoid giving her antibiotic drops at her young age. When a doctor suggested putting breastmilk in her eyes it baffled me. And, at first, seemed very odd. You know, that whole putting milk into my daughter's eye thing. Rebecca, my lovely little sister, confirmed that is was a "weird" notion. I knew breastmilk had anti-bacterial properties, but I had never considered using it to "cure" ailments. So we started using the breastmilk at every diaper change and it completely cleared up her pink eye so fast! So I am pretty much a walking pharmacy. :)

Here is a link about all of the other uses for breastmilk, aside from the usual one.

Breastmilk and It's Many Uses

Slackers!!

We here at Izzy Boo have been HUGE slackers! Ok, well, I have been a slacker. :) Elizabeth and I have both had pink eye this week, so we have been a little down and out the last couple of days. I tried putting up a video as an apology, but Blogger isn't liking that idea today. So here are a few pictures instead!! I promise I will be back to regular Izzy Boo blogging ASAP!!

For Grandpa Roy & Jessica, E fighting with Ugly dog wearing her onesie
At times it was hard to tell who was winning the fight - E or Ugly dog.
Oh yeah, that's right. E won.

The hair is getting out of control!!!

Sorry for the lack of content recently on Izzy Boo. Things have been busy this past week, as you will see in later posts (how is that for a tease)!

Izzy Boo's hair is growing out of control. And, yes, I took about 30 pictures of just her hair.
We have dubbed it a Mullet Hawk - Enjoy!!

The pretty flowers in our back yard!

Elizabeth's new toy!

Elizabeth is a little unsure of her new toy.
Trying to figure out what kind of contraption this is.

I think she likes it!
Yep, she likes the new toy!
