Another cold has him down.....
Just when he got over his cough from his last cold, Gardner caught another one. All day Friday, he was irritable and just slightly fussy. Then, he woke up yesterday with a stuffy nose and tired-looking eyes. Another cold. Today, he awoke with a croupy-sounding cough and a weakened appetite. My poor little boy! I guess that "10 colds a year" that I read about in my childhood medical book really does hold true....even though I try to keep him well as best I know how.
All I can do his mom is to try to make him as comfortable as possible....giving him special treats and extra cuddle time. I hate it when he feels badly.
In other news, he has learned to say "please" ("Pease") and can imitate the sounds that a boat makes (eeeee-oooohhhh). He continues to amaze us with his language acquisition skills. He can also go down the little step into our study on his feet, not having to crawl down. He's got good balance like his Mom! Let's just hope he doesn't inherit my clumsiness.
More later.....
