9 months old!

Caleb turned 9 months old today!

HAPPY 9 MONTH BIRTHDAY, CALEB! MOMMY LOVES YOU SOOO BIG!
I love his cow lick. It's a perfect little swirl...

caleb is recovering from his bout with the stomach flu. he is still experiencing diarrhea but the doctor warned us that that can last several days. he woke up yesterday and was completely covered in poo so we had to give him a bath at 5:30 in the morning! he had another messy diaper today but it wasn't as bad. he's drinking a lot of breast milk so i don't think he's in danger of dehydration. he doesn't want any more ped.ia.lyte or much of anything to eat. all he seems to want is oatmeal, cheerios and crackers. he did eat about half of his lunch yesterday and half of his dinner last night and he is acting more like his normal self so that makes me feel better.

but... this little baby managed to give the stomach flu to 4 other people. why did the doctor say it was okay for us to go to thanksgiving dinner?? she said that as long as no one touched his vomit or poop than they wouldn't get it. she was WRONG! john, my mom, auntie shannon, and my poor little lei lei all got a horrible case of the stomach flu! i felt sooooooo bad. thank God no one in john's family has gotten sick (yet). i was really worried that elizabeth might get it. the last thing she needs to deal with is the stomach flu. she has enough to deal with right now. but, oh my gosh, the ones that got it, got it BAD. i feel so bad for spreading my baby's stomach flu germs to everyone. :(
