Sick Anders

We feel very fortunate that Anders was not sick at all during his first year; I can imagine how stressful a sick young baby can be. But it appears that we are making up for lost time, since Anders is on his fourth cold since October. Poor guy! He holds up quite well during the day; other than a runny nose or cough, you'd have no idea from his behavior that he doesn't feel well. Nighttime is a different story, though. He just doesn't sleep well. One of us has taken to the guest room to make room for the sick little guy in our bed.

On the positive side, he's now immune to four rhinoviruses.

Since he's been sick, I have sequestered most of his stuffed animals in the closet. Now we'll only have a single moose to disinfect once he recovers!
