Some Like it Hot...

............Some Don't..................

Poor little Braxton, his tiny baby body isn't meant to handle such heat. Last week when it was in the mid-high 90's he was miserable. He passed out like this on the floor in front of the fan.
If I couldn't hear him breathing, I would have thought he was dead.

He seemed to be pretty content to sleep like this for his short 20 minute nap, even though I thought it looked uncomfortable.
And speaking of miserable heat and babies.... Braxton devloped a little case of 'prickly heat' or 'heat rash'. It was awful.... little red bumps all up his back, under his chin, on his chest, in the creases of his elbows and on his neck. Poor little guy. He spent a good 24 hours naked--or close to-- took a nice cool baking soda bath, and spent time indoors with a cool fan. Luckily we managed to let it run its course and it was gone in 48 hours.
This little guy does NOT like the heat. Part of me doesn't blame him one bit.
