Stupid Summer Cold

There is nothing worse then having cold in the summer.  The itchy eyes, runny nose, annoying cough all while it is 98 degrees out.  Blah!  What's worse is being a 4 1/2 month old baby with a cold.  That's right ~ the germs of daycare have struck and our little guy is now experiencing his first full on cold.

He's got the runny nose...the hacking cough...the watery eyes and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.  Poor kid is too young to take meds so we have to work with the old fashioned remedies.  And let me tell you ~ he LOVES them. We have the humidifier running...we sit in a steamy bathroom with him to help loosen up the snot.  And his ultimate favorite - when I stick the bulb thing up his nose and suck the snot out.   He's a BIG fan of that one.  Can you sense the sarcasm?!

But at this point, we will try anything to help the kid breathe.  Luckily, he is taking it like a champ and is still the happy go lucky kid we have come to know and love.  We still even manage to get him to giggle despite the snot. :)
