they say that a picture is worth a thousand words... this one says 4: "mom, i feel lousy". poor baby! cole got pretty much no sleep last night. and when i say 'cole', i really mean 'cole and mommy'. he was constantly coughing, and when he wasn't, he was in a light restless doze. he's miserable- coughing, runny nose, watery eyes, slight temp., all that jazz. no real appetite, either. he had most of his bottle (6 oz) this morning and later had a little cereal. usually he chugs his bottle and rips through the oatmeal- at breakfast, nothing edible is safe! then for lunch, he usually has another 6 oz bottle and usually veggies and chicken... he had 4 oz of his bottle, threw it aside and then went to sleep. hmmm. he's going to waste away, since he's already skin and bones... joke! he'll be ok- he usually loses the desire to chow down when he's stuffy. at least he's sleeping. for now.
i posted this one too, since you can see his two little teeth really well- he was grumbling about something just as i snapped it! you can still see the red rims around his eyes. the scratch on his cheek? that's a battle scar from last night. he gave it to himself... while fighting to get comfy. the fighting thing seems to be the underlying cause in the first place- it is the reason his nails aren't short. i try to do it when he falls asleep, but he rarely stays asleep once i start... typical!
one more thing- despite feeling really rotten last night (we stayed home from meeting, needless to say. he was crying non-stop), cole managed to gather enough strength to pull himself up on the end of our bed and take a few steps in my direction- he's now cruising! tentatively and unsteadily, but cruising none-the-less! wow... where has the time gone! just yesterday he was a teeny, red, sleepy bundle...
