Summer Colds



Mommy and Waverly both have yucky summer colds! The sore throat, sneezing, coughing and 'oh, I just don't feel good' kind of colds. Good news for Mommy and Daddy, though; Waverly is such a happy child that unless you know her very well, you could never tell that she is sick! She just smiles and giggles anyway!

Yesterday, I stayed home with Waverly and took her to see the pediatrician in the early afternoon. She weighed in at 18 pounds 8.5 ounces! My little chunky monkey sure is growing! Dr. Parker said that though Waverly does have a little cough, its nothing to be overly concerned about. Its just a touch of a summer cold, which they are seeing a lot of lately. There are no medicines that they will give such a young child, so the only tips he had for us were lots of tummy time and saline nose spray.
Up close and personal!
Mommy had her own idea of some feel better remedies, including a warm bath, a new humidifier filter and lots of cuddle time with Mommy and Daddy. Waverly hasn't had a fever, so she was all ready to return to day care.
Oh, happy girlie!
We're going to start calling her the big faker. She giggles too much to really be sick!
