Sick and Snotty

Sick, tired, cranky, and full of snot. That pretty much sums up how our entire house has been feeling for the last few weeks. I never knew that one little boy could possibly produce as much mucus as Quin does. A simple sneeze often turns into a huge pile of Kleenex, yet he can't even blow his nose! And you guessed it...if mom is not there ready and waiting we have a mess on our hands. Our poor little boy looks terribly pathetic when he coughs. Is it wrong for a mom to think her son looks adorable when he is sick? He sticks his tongue out when he coughs and it is very cute. Don't you agree?
Since Quin is sick, he is not nursing as well and has been getting Pedialyte. I think overnight, some time in the recent past, he has grown up just a little bit more. All of a sudden, he has a ton of fuzzy hair and likes to hold the bottle by himself.

Is this what it is going to be like from here on out? Is going to keep growing up and doing things for himself? Before we know it he won't need his mom and dad. Ok, I might be getting ahead of myself just a little... He's only 5 months old. I guess for now I am ok with letting him hold his own bottle and his new fluffy hair is great.
