'Roids

And by 'roids, I actually means steroids this time, rather than the dreaded hemorrhoids, although those are still hanging around too. (In case you were wondering).  I know you were.

So L is now getting Nebulizer treatments with Albu.terol for his cough.  It's more in his lungs this time, and less in his sinuses.  (Yay?) So we have to do that every 4 hours, which of course he hates.  But the nurse said it actually works better when they are screaming, because they then suck in more of the air/mist.  My doctor also gave me these AWESOME fun statistics:  babies in daycare will get approx 10 colds/viruses lasting approx 10 days each their first year.  So this is 100 days of sickness, or roughly 1/3 of the year.  All occurring mostly during the winter months. So she said it's really not abnormal that he has ANOTHER cold.  Seriously, he was happy for a week.  *SIGH*.   I guess we better get used to this, it's going to be a long WI winter......

So for everyone's sake, I hope this doesn't turn into a 3 week-long ordeal again, as that was rough!

In other news, L routinely will eat a bowl of cereal mixed with a veggie (sweet potatoes and carrots so far).  He is such a big boy sitting in his bumbo with the tray attached to it and food all over his face!  The first night we had the tray I sat cross-legged on the floor in front of him to feed him. I had no idea the dogs would be so intrigued with my bowl of orange goop. They were circling him like sharks!  When they realized I wasn't giving them any, Jack started EATING it off L's face!    Yes, gross.  Yes, also funny :-)  It certainly helped me get him clean!!
