Well, it seems Timmy has an allergy. I'm not sure to what- he got this red chin after breakfast. We had eggs, cheese, butter, bacon and green onions. The only new thing he had today was the green onions. Despite the other parts of breakfast being more common allergies, he's eaten these many, many times before without a problem.
Timmy's also had a little bit of a rash the last couple days- tiny little red bumps on his torso and a little on the back of his neck. We've narrowed it down to one of two causes. Either it's a mild case of Chicken Pox (Timmy had his Chicken Pox vaccine last week) or heat rash (the last few days have been very hot, and Timmy's been waking up in the mornings in sweat).
Last night was a particularly rough night for Timmy. For no cause that we could find, he woke up at 3:00 screaming, and continued to cry and scream intermittently for an hour. It didn't matter if he was being held, given food, lying in his crib or anything else. The crying continued. Eventually we gave him a dose of tylenol around 3:45, and he was out about 15 minutes later. It could be a tooth coming through, or maybe an earache. I doubt the earache, though, because he woke up this morning without any problems whatsoever.
