Q & A ...sick baby

Question:

How can you tell if your 10.5 month old is not feeling well?

Answer:

He stops crawling for more than 10 seconds and lays his head on the floor, or prefers to lay with mommy or daddy in the chair.

Yes...Owen and mommy are sick. Brig started to get a scratchy throat on Sunday and it has slowly been creeping in on her. I noticed Owen's breath was funky on Tuesday night and thought he must be getting sick too. Sure enough, he woke up several times that night whining and went back to sleep a few minutes later. Wednesday morning he sneezed and let's just say our suspicions were confirmed. He also had a major blowout yesterday afternoon. All I'll say about that is Brig was really glad I had just gotten home from work b/c it required both of us to resolve. Needless to say, Owen got a bath early last night. He also had a slight fever, but we gave him some Tylenol and that seemed to take care of it. We hooked up the humidifier and he did sleep better last night.

Hopefully mommy and baby get well soon...and let's hope daddy gets to skip this round.
