Cradle Crap

Poor Matthew, he has cradle cap so we have been shampooing him with some medicated shampoo. He doesn't like his baths as it is, so he certainly doesn't like having to wait for two minutes with the medicine on his head. Fortunately, he got rid of his baby acne, a whole 18 years before his senior prom.

Update: November 8th, the pediatrician said the best way to get rid of the cradle cap was to put baby oil on his head and scrub it with a brush. Sure enough that worked a lot better than the shampoo.

Seven Weeks at Home with Matthew (First Post)

I never thought I would have my hands free to start a blog site, but fortunately Matthew's sleeping patterns are getting more predictable. Caring for my beautiful newborn son seems a lot less overwhelming now than in the first two weeks. So here I am starting this site on his seventh week as my "new boss". It is the week of Halloween and already Matthew surprised his visitors and friends with his Horton, Dumbo, or elephant costume. So is it true that elephants never forget? Is Matthew going to be describing this experience someday to a therapist?.. I sure hope not. Don't worry he is still exclusively breastfed and has not been fed any peanuts (unless you count the peanutbutter sandwich that I ate before breastfeeding him).
