Kleenex and Robitussin to the rescue

It all started last weekend. I stared getting a sore throat and then it progressed to a stuffy nose and the on going cough that I usually get. A few days later, Eric and David started getting it too. We are all sharing the same cold. I think the worst part has been at night. Since Eric has had this cold he has been having a lot of trouble settling down at night. He has been extremely fussy and doesn't want to soothe himself to sleep. That has been difficult for David and I.
For the past month he has been not sleeping through the night anymore. He hasn't been sleeping the nice long 8-9 hours at a time. I am pretty sure that it is because he is teething though.
During the day, he seems to be cheerful and happy even though he has been coughing and his poor little nose sounds plugged up. I've been giving him some infant Tylenol for cold and cough (pediatrician's advice) and making sure he gets plenty of food/liquids and enough rest (even though he doesn't seem to want to sleep much these days).

So I've been staying in doors lately. Except for yesterday afternoon when my sister-in-law and I took Eric to the zoo. I will have to go back and take pictures. I didn't bring my camera because our trip was pretty spontaneous and I didn't even think about it until later. We ended up getting there an hour before they closed and they let us in for free.

I must get going for now. Eric is hungry. The good thing is that he has an appetite. I would really worry if he didn't want to eat.
