Harper's First Illness...

My poor babe has a tiny touch of a cold...The poor thing.  I think it's pretty mild, not that I have anything to compare it to!  Yesterday he woke up with a little cough...he only seems to cough in the mornings and evenings.  His temperature is normal, and so is his temperament (Thank goodness!  I hate to see him sad...).   Today it became a little more phlegm-y, but he is still in good spirits!  And when he cries --usually when we are attempting to clothe him, fasten him in his car seat, or change a soiled diaper when he'd rather be throwing the toy for the dog--his little voice becomes instantly hoarse!  He's nursing just as often, rejecting his solids as is par for the course, and he's still staying up until ten or later in the evening (this is new, and makes for a tired Momma and Dada!) and those smiles never cease (I'm so grateful!).  The exceptions of course are when we attempt the previously mentioned acts of nurturing and protecting our son from heinous diaper rash, car accidents, or hypothermia!  He'll thank us later I suppose!
