10 months old!

Roseola

Noah just recovered from Roseola. No fun. We're tired of sickness around here...hopefully we'll get a break for a while! He had a fever, rash, irritability, fatigue, diarrhea, etc. Poor baby. :(

Herpangina

On the evening of June 9th, Noah went crazy. He kept us up during the night with random bouts of screaming. Knew something wasn't right because he's usually a great sleeper. Thought it was just a bad case of teething but he didn't seem to improve so I took him to the pediatrician on Friday, June 11th. He was diagnosed with Herpangina (aka Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease). Since it's viral he didn't need antibiotics. Just kept giving him ibuprofen and also a mixture of Maalox and Benadryl to help his sore throat. The pediatrician thinks he may have gotten it from the pool.

Of course then I caught it from him! NO FUN! Luckily we're both better now.

Oh, and he weighed 24 lbs 10 oz. Big boy!
