My First Cold.

So everyone in our house is sick. 

Mommy thinks it all started with our nanny, but the nanny thinks that it started from me.  It’s the old chicken and egg debate.  In any case, now, everyone’s got it in varying degrees.  For me, it’s the first time I’m giving my immune system a full work-out.  I have bad nasal congestion to the point where Mommy had to use the Graco nasal suction on several occasions to pull out my boogers.  The boogers are thick and slimy…not easy for me to get rid of, especially when I can’t really blow my nose.  What I have is nothing compared to what Daddy has.  Daddy is VERY sick.  He has been in bed all day, but I managed to get him to smile at me before Mommy put me to bed tonight.  Mommy had to take me out to YiMa’s house so that Daddy could sleep.  Mommy has it the least severe with only a sore throat.  It’s probably because Mommy got the flu shot last week and has been taking Cold-Eeze like it’s candy.

See, Daddy?  You should have gotten the flu shot last week when Mommy told you to.

Discovering My Body Parts

This past week, I made two discoveries:  1.  I have a tongue and can do cool tricks with my tongue like sticking out and twirling it around in my mouth.  I can also make noises and babble with the combination of my tongue and lips.  Cool!

2.  I have hands and I can make them move!  While video calling with PoPo and GongGong on Skype this week, I was mesmerized by my own hands and all the neat ways it can move.  Even PoPo took notice!

Daddy taught me a new trick called “fist bump” where we both make fists and touch our fists together.  It makes me feel like I’m one of the boys.

Mommy figured out that I can look in the mirror and find her face.  I don’t really pay attention to my own face in the mirror, but I will watch Mommy in the mirror and smile.  I never thought mirrors could be so much fun.
