Braeden's First Cold


DH is a bit on the paranoid side when it comes to photos of Braeden being posted here. Somehow I don't think there's much in this picture to identify him, so here it is, and I really wanted you to see his favorite pose. He hasn't figured out yet how to stand upright without some form of support, but he's getting the hang of it.

My poor little man awoke this morning with a runny nose, sneezing, a little cough. It looks like he's got his first cold (or maybe allergies - we've all got those right now).

He's teething big time, that's for sure, and is very cuddly. I broke down and gave him Tylenol drops, which he hasn't had since the slight fever he got with his 4-month shots. Those work too well. In about 30-45 minutes he was raring to go again, crawling all over the place, and at a faster pace than usual.

We're all very lucky - at 9 months and 1 week, this is his first cold. He doesn't seem in any discomfort now, but refuses to take a nap. He's too busy standing up in his play yard. Braeden and I had to take our dog to the vet yesterday. It was a much better trip than the last time we all went together. Our DP (dear puppy) is much more used to Braeden and the stroller now, and while we waited, she sat right next to the stroller. Brae looked at her a few times, but he was much too busy waving at everyone who came through the door. In the exam room, he took to waving at the vet when she came in - waving is his latest "I love doing this" thing.

Poor little guy! It's no fun to be sick. Although, you do get more snuggles when you're sick...I think that's the only good part. I'm glad he's feeling a bit better.

Oliver just started doing the "booty in the air trying to stand" thing yesterday. It's so exciting!
