oh no! G has a cold!

Poor little guy has his first illness--a cold. He's being pretty tough, but he's a little more sensitive. We've used the snot sucker, have a humidifier going and have used a little saline up the nose. I feel so bad for him. Watching a sick kid is way harder than I thought it would be, it's just heart-breaking that there is so little you can do for them (no cold medicine until at least 2). I got this picture sans runny nose after he got up from a nap. If you have any good cold tips, post 'em!

ETA: Miles did the cutest thing today. Garrison was crying after we put him down for a nap, and Miles, who believes it is his job to make everyone who cries happier, came in and sat by G's crib. Garrison looked at miles and calmed down, then miles got on our bed (right next to the crib) and stayed in the room until he was convinced G was soothed.

Maddie really does well with baby vicks (good for kids over 6 months old) on her chest. she loves it and it really seems to make her feel better.

It is very difficult to see your child sick or in turmoil of any kind. I hope Garrison is feeling better.

lari said...

he seems better today. His appetite seems back.

Yeah, baby vicks is different. It doesn't have any of the chemicals in it. I'm glad to hear that G is feeling better!
