baby's first illness

poor jackers has a cold. he is all congested and is coughing. i am feeding him more frequently and trying to help him get lots of rest. he looks so pathetic with crusty boogers in his nostrils. little nostrils that have never known crusty boogers.

after i nursed jack for 20 minutes today, i sat down to eat my own lunch. i made a fabulous casserole last night. i just made it up. pasta, cream soups, broccoli, cauliflower, hamburger, mozzarella cheese, etc. the highlight of the casserole is the breakfast sausage. really! well, mr. jack was eyeing up my plate. then he started whining and reaching for the plate. so i cooled off some food and gave him a tiny bit. that was it. he wouldn't let me eat in peace. he pigged out. it was fun feeding him bits of mooshed up broccoli and cauliflower and watching for reaction. i think he really loved the cheesy sauced pasta. he was grinning like a fool. he kept whining for me to feed him more. i am so paranoid he is going to choke. but, he is working this eating thing like the man he is.

next i gave him some white grape juice in a cup because i remembered how dan was giving him some of his skim milk last night because jack was begging for it. well, he loved the juice, but he is not very good at drinking. it's a start. i see i need to be buying sippy cups.
