Feeling good again!

Welcome to being 8 months old...poor Kekoa was so sick last week. He had a fever for a few days and then on Thursday in the wee hours of the morning (2 am), we discovered a red rash all over his head and tummy. Turns out our poor baby had Roseola. We knew something was off, he just wasn't himself. He was screaming at night, couldn't go to sleep. I had to put him in the carrier to get him to sleep and was thinking, "Oh no, all that sleep training has gone out the window!".

Before the onset of the rash, Scott and I were just hoping that this wasn't Kekoa's new personality, now that he is 8 months old. We knew he was teething too, but his behavior seemed so out of sorts for him. Good thing my hubbie is a nurse and remained calm when I came running to get him when I saw the rash! Because he was so calm, I didn't freak out either. He pulled out his books from nursing school and the 3 of us laid on the floor together, while Scott looked up Kekoa's symptoms. Friday morning we had a doctor's visit and they made us go come in through the side door...in case he was contagious. We were so relieved it wasn't anything serious. Roseola is very common for kids to get when they are between 6 months-3 years old.

Kekoa is all better now. On Monday he was in the best mood ever, all smiles and laughing...back to his goofy self. Scott and I have survived our first baby sickness!

Check out my tooth!
I love that double chin!
Kekoa is so smart, he is putting his toy into the farm.
He loves to play peek-a-boo with the farm. It is the cutest thing as he reaches for your face on the other side of his farm. He just can't figure out how to get you out! :)
Big reach...
