One of the few firsts I was not looking forward to...

I'm sitting on the couch snuggling with my little space heater who is snoring like Darth Vadar. Poor Greyson has a cold, his first. Despite all of his low grade fever, coughing, sneezing and faucet-like leaking from this nose, he actually was in a pretty decent mood. Seriously, his vaccinations have brought on grumpier moods than this cold has.

It all started Friday when I noticed the poor guy's voice sounded a little scratchy. Saturday it was apparent that he was congested and by mid-day he had a temp around 100. I started asking around about tips and tricks to help keep baby comfortable and by Sunday morning I was frantically calling around to see what do for Grey. We've spent the whole day hanging out next to the humidifier or in the steamed up bathroom. The little boy has only been able to sleep if he had someone holding him. We're expecting he'll need to stay home tomorrow.

I'll leave you with a peak of our little invalid having a little play time with Momma.
