First Haircut

The "new" do!

He did pretty well sitting in the chair while his hairs were being cut! He just wanted to keep looking around at Megan and her scissors!

Xavier now notices my camera. I think he likes the lenscap, it hangs from my camera with a little cap-keeper thing and anything that moves, he wants to check it out. So this was an up close shot of him coming to get me! (He loves to bite my nose, he just goes to bite it and then laughs!)

A long-er hair photo earlier in the day!

Xavier has found the door-stoppers! And he loves to flip them so the make that lovely noise! He managed to get the one off in his room yesterday! He also loves his little Giraffe, Sophie. Really loves to chew it!

Xavier crawls all over the place. This door stopper is the one on the landing which he also loves to crawl up the one step to get to. We are trying to get him to then go down the step backwards, but he is determined to go down face first. He goes pretty slow and takes his time and so far no face plants......but still gotta get the backwards thing worked out!

So we found out 2 things this week about our little guy. First he has some classic eczema on his face, back and in his little roll areas. The Dr prescribed him some cream with a very mild steroid in it. It doesn't really bother him too much, except today all of a sudden he is scratching like heck at the back of his head. Poor guy is scratching it and making little red marks, so I gotta figure out how to solve that problem before he makes his head raw!

This morning I confirmed my suspicion that he is allergic to eggs. He broke out in some hives 3 times in the last week and when I went back and thought about all the things he had eaten and played with, eggs were the main culprit. So this morning I fed him a little bit of egg and voila! He broke out. Exzema and a food allergen go almost hand in hand so after doing some research this week I knew I had found the problem. Hopefully he grows out of it.....but now we have to go get some allergy tests done next week. Not looking forward to my baby being pricked over and over and if he is in fact allergic then no Flu shot or H1N1 shot as they are egg-based. That scares me a little about him not getting vaccinated, but I am not going to worry about it until he gets the tests done and it is confirmed and not just going off my at home "testing."

The cold weather stinks. Hoping the weather man is actually right for a change and it warms up next week to the 60's!

Have a good weekend! Let's hope the Boilers can pull out a victory tomorrow.
