Hives

Tonight when I got home from dinner with my co-workers Jonah wasn't asleep yet so I picked him up to give him a hug and kiss and I noticed he had little red bumps all over his body. I though it was a little weird but I figured if they were still there in the morning we would take him to the doctors. Well he woke up at about one this morning crying so Joe brought him into bed with me (he wasn't in bed yet) and he fell back asleep for about an hour and then woke up crying again and wouldn't go back to sleep. So I turned on the light and saw that the red bumps had spread all over and were now hives. My poor baby, he looks horrible. These pictures don't do it justice. So I sent Joe out to get some Benadryl so hopefully he looks better in the morning. I know my brothers get hives really bad from eating strawberry's and Jonah had a ton of blackberry's today so I am thinking that's what caused it. If you click on the pictures it looks worse.

Also he has ANOTHER ear infection. His doctor finally decided to refer us to a ear nose and throat doctor so he may have to get tubes in his ears. I really hope he gets them because I think he has seriously had an ear infection at least once a month since like May. He probably had some before that also but he never gets fussy or has a temperature so it is hard to tell when he gets them.

I have been waiting since Jonah was born for him to make an attachment to something, either a blanket or a stuffed animal. Well about three weeks ago he finally decided he loved this bear he got from his Aunt Angela when he was born. I have had this in his crib with him since he was a couple months old but he never really noticed it before but now he has to have it with him when he goes to bed or he will cry until he gets it. He will also grab it out of his crib when we get him up in the morning and carries it around all day. It is pretty cute but now I hope it doesn't get lost.

Anyway I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and I promise my next post will have a video of Jonah walking.
