Cute Boy!

Ok... it's mommy bragging time!
I just want everybody to see how cute my little man is!
This is a picture of him blowing raspberries.
  
Look at his fat belly!

This is a close up...



Yes, he is naked in all these pictures!  He makes such a mess when he eats and if you combine that with his drool... well, it's just easier to keep his clothes off.

The next few will show you why even bibs don't work...












He is eating bitter biscuits,  and loves them!  He loves feeding himself and eating!


On a more serious note... last week we had to take my sweet boy to the ER.  He had a high temp and was up all night miserable.  While we were in the waiting room there was another woman who brought in her daughter because of stomach pains, and she asked me "what's the matter with your little guy?" and so I told her, and she had the nerve to tell me... "Oh, that's nothing, he's fine"  I just glared at her and wanted to slap her silly.  I know that because he is my first I might be a little over protective, but at the same time my mommy sense knew that there was something wrong with him.  And I was happy that my mommy sense told me to take him in the the ER because as the day went on and the lab results came in, my little guy was diagnosed with pneumonia and they suspected a blood infection as well, because his white blood count was so high.  But thankfully, we never heard back from the blood culture and they said "no news is good news".
After a week of being on antibiotics, Arlo is doing much better!  And I am so glad!  Now I need to get him back sleeping through the night and all will be perfect!

Arlo is absolutely adorable. What a chunk. I love the belly shots. I'm so happy he is a good eater. I'm getting to the point where I strip Caleb down to feed him also. He just started pulling off his bib, so like you said pointless.

Shi, I don't blame you for taking your baby to the ER- mommy ALWAYS knows best!

When Dallin had his seizure last year, they tested him for pneumonia in the ER because they thought that's what caused his spike in fever- I guess it's pretty common. So you were right to be safe rather than sorry with a seizing baby!
