upside down and a runny nose!

Yup, Antonio has officially gotten the worst cold of his life, never mind it is also his first! ; ) We aren't sure how he caught it but he did and now I have it too! It started with a crazy runny nose, congestion and sneezing. Now it is primarily major congestion, cough and sneezing. Poor little guy! When he sucks on his binky he sounds like a wild animal growling; it's actually kinda sad. Immediately after he sneezes he coughs in a chocking sort of way. Basically, since he is frequently on his back, he sneezes the "stuff" up then chokes on it going back down all while he gets a concerned look on his face. I know, gross and I am sure you could've gone through the day without the details....sorry. We've for the first time used the suction ball thingy they tell you to use when they get like this. We have to squirt saline up his nose then use the suction thing to get the gunk out and he takes it all pretty well. He gets a scared look on his face during the process and I can understand why. It helps though, I think. Luckily he hasn't had a fever though! He's been a little fussier than normal but not a whole lot thank goodness. I am guessing his throat probably hurts from all that drainage too because mine does. Poor guy!

The past week he has found the ceiling extremely interesting as does he enjoy looking at things upside down instead of just turning his head. There is probably a connection with that and having a cold but it is kinda cute. He will just stare at the ceiling for a good 5 minutes at a time. It's like he just realized there is always something over his head. Next week is Halloween and we were given a hand-me-down costume from my cousin Suzanne to wear! We won't go trick or treating but we will put it on and possibly go to out neighbors to show him off; oh and of course take pictures! Stay tuned for those. Until then, have a safe and happy Halloween!
