He's got the Pox!

Chicken Pox, that is!  He has roughly 4 dozen spots from head to toe, literally (and even inside his ears) Our poor baby! He's actually dealing with it quite well so far. No fever yet but the doctor said to be prepared for one. He's on day 3 and the doctor said it might be 14 days before it's over. He's contagious until every bump has crusted over with a scab. So that means I'm home with him for at least the next week or so. Right now he's giggling at me and playing peek-a-boo with his blanket so he's in pretty good spirits despite the situation. Here's a photo of him with dots of calamine lotion on his face for relief. 

The lotion and cool baths are the only things the doctor said we can do to comfort him, as well as Tylenol if he gets a fever. Otherwise we just have to let it run its course. Poor little man.
