8 Months Old

Happy 8 months old birthday, William!

I'm sorry you have to celebrate the day with horrible itching all over your body, with an intolerable rash that has now spread to your neck, with hands that Mommy has confined to mittens so you won't scratch yourself raw. I'm sorry you have such horrible teething pain and that nothing seems to alleviate it. I can tell you are so tired from only catching 25 minute catnaps once you finally fall do asleep because all the combined pain keeps waking you up. No wonder you want to be carried around everywhere by your mom, who can admittedly be a bit short on patience sometimes. Life with your new family hasn't exactly gotten off to the best of starts, has it?

Poor, sweet baby. Your smiles, which could light up the world, have been few and far between lately. Here's hoping month 9 will be better.

Happy Birthday! I am glad he is home now so you can be the one to comfort him. Things will be betters soon I'm sure!

Oh the poor, poor baby! I can't imagine how uncomfortable he must be-- and how hard it is for you to see him in so much pain. We'll be praying for the little guy.
