First Cold

Well, the J-Man is sick. He has his first cold. A phone call to the triage nurse confirms that this is just a cold - coughing and congestion. She did not seem too concerned - just stated that we need to keep him hydrated and elevated. She also says to take him into the bathroom while we shower to get the steam working on his lungs. The nurse did not recommend taking him into see his MD, but, if he is still not well tomorrow, I think I may take him just to sure. A five month old hacking on mucus is a sad sound indeed.



At any rate, J is just a bit cranky and off his feed, but, otherwise, smiley and talkative.



In other Justin news, he has been exploring the new frontier of solid foods. He is a big fan of peas and green beans. He liked carrots and squash a lot until he tasted the green veggies and now, while he will tolerate the yellow ones, he much prefers the greens. He was also not a fan of rice cereal until I mixed it with applesauce and now I have to cut him off.



Here are pictures of J's first meal of carrots:





It's a messy venture, but oh, so cute!
