Red Raw

My poor baby's face is very very sore. Thursday we popped along to the Doctor because after a month of dribble rash we were struggling to get on top of it and it wasn't getting better whatever I was doing. The Dr said it was a little infected and prescribed an antibiotic cream to clear it up. 36 hours of using the antibiotic cream and instead of making it better it made it much much worse.... 

So after popping to the pharmacy today for advice we were sent to out of hours GP. He has reacted badly to the antibiotic cream so Xander now has a steroid based cream and an oral course of antibiotics. 

This is the worst of it, although there are paler patches starting on his cheeks, near his ears and near his eyes too. *sad Mummy*

Friends

Xander and Fiz are becoming more fascinated by each other every day. Fiz is so tolerant of him reaching out to her and grabbing clump-fulls of her fur. She is regularly going up to 'give him a sniff kisses' now! Firm friends in the making I think! 

I love you, You love me!

Dinner in John Lewis

We visited John Lewis in Cardiff today and Xander sat in a 'big boy' highchair. 

To be honest I wasn't completely impressed with the highchair. Ok it was a pretty wooden thing, perfect for older babies and toddlers, but not ideal for a younger baby. 

It only had a lapstrap so although Xander is able to sit up relatively well his shoulders were not supported meaning if he had lost balance and thrown himself backwards, forwards or to the side his head would have hit something hard (e.g. back of chair or the table). 

We cushioned his head with the foot-muff off his pram and made sure he was far enough from the table not to hit it! 

Other than that he enjoyed eating at the table with us and playing with his toys while we were there! 

Looking more and more grown up!
