hives


when i was changing jack's diaper to head over to clara's house to go play i noticed a bump on his bottom and that it was red. so i lifted up his shirt and noticed lots of little red spots on his belly (they weren't raised up). then i looked at his back and saw about 5 big red spots on his back. so i called andrea and said i think we have to cancel and took him to the doctor. the doctor said they were hives. i told him that he hasn't eaten anything different because well he doesn't ever try any new foods! he said that about 75% of the time you don't know what causes the allergic reaction. he seems fine. so we are giving him zyrtec and hoping that it gets better. poor baby!
(the dr said it wasn't contagious)

this picture does not even show how bad it is, but it gives you an idea

i saw on my friend, melissa's blog that she brought crayons and let her daughter draw on the paper. we'll it is a genius idea and i am mad at myself for never thinking about it before. we drew pictures and he thought it was great. cars are always a hit in the room too!


he likes to say "cheese" and then he says "let me see" after i take the picture.

on a side note: they weighed him and he weighs 29 pounds.

Glad he is better!! I've been taking crayons and pens for Hudson for a while-- he loves it!! And he likes to show off to the dr at how he can write his name!!

I've had hives before. No fun and nearly impossible to figure out what caused them! I hope the Zyrtec has kicked in and that he's feeling/looking better. :D
