Yesterday was such a hot day! Yes, we've had hotter, but the accumulation of heat over the past several days...or week... has left us a little stressed out and extra warm! Fortunately, it cooled off last night & today is supposed to be nice. Just warm; comfortably warm!!
I took these pictures of Andrew after giving him a mini-bath in the bathroom sink just before bedtime, in an effort to keep him cool. I enjoy playing with his longer blond hair, so I spiked it a little. Don't worry! It flattens down by itself. And as everyone who sees him will comment on, "He LOVES his thumb!" In fact, he's ambidextrous with his thumb-sucking. If his right thumb does not please him, he tries the left thumb; if that doesn't work, it's back to the right thumb, and so on, and so on.
Today the Doctor had me take Andrew in for a blood test to check his hemoglobin (iron level). The person who drew his blood needed to poke his...THUMB!! He did cry a little, but was done crying even before she had all the blood she needed. And the bandage she initially put on his prized possession was promptly removed within a minute. So now he's crawling around the house with a taped up thumb, still pulling at it every once in a while, trying to get the annoying stuff off! What's a baby to do with only ONE THUMB to suck?!?!?
