Just Chillin' with Dad

You know, catching up on some TV and lounging around the house like the big people

So we went to the doctor this morning. The diaper rash almost went away but then manifested into some strain of jock itch. The little guy just can't catch a break. We noticed some little pimply looking bumps yesterday on his lower abdomen, and the doctor said that was the beginning of a yeast infection. We bought some Lotrimin and are combining that with some A&D ointment.

Aside from that, his cord stump has been bleeding more than normal so the doctor put some silver nitrate on the spot that was "oozing" to try and cauterize the area. No more washing the area with alcohol now, just soap and water.

While we were waiting for the doctor, we took advantage of the scales and discovered that his weight has increased to right around 9 pounds. We could find the measuring thing they use for length though, so we'll just have to do an at-home measurement for that.

My next little project around the house is to modify the Graco Pack N' Play music/vibration control center. The stupid thing has a 15 minute auto shut-off for both the vibration and the music part. So right about the time he falls asleep, all that stuff shuts off and he goes into a little tear. We don't use the vibration a whole lot, but when we need it - WE SERIOUSLY NEED IT. I may crack that open later today and see what I can figure out. It can't be that hard to change right?
