No silly cold can keep us down

Well, Haley developed a nasty cold this past weekend and it has carried on into this week. This is the third cold she has had in her life and definitely the worst. Her poor nose has been like a water faucet and I can't use the bulb sucker without Scott's help. So, I have been having to wipe it constantly and it is so raw that she just cries every time. I have been letting it run until it gets too messy. For this reason, I feel like we are drowning in snot. We are both covered in it by the end of each day. Now, I have the cold and so the snot just keeps flowing. It's not pretty around here. She also has a terrible cough and today it was so bad that it made her vomit her breakfast and then her lunch too. Today was not a lot of fun.


So, we have been cooped up in the house all week to try and prevent spreading our germs (even though Scott has it now). We have been trying to make the best of it and we have played our heads off. Even sick, Haley is the sweetest baby alive. These are some pics from our last couple of days.

One of her favorite things to do - play in the dishwasher.

Notice the snot streaked across her face.


It was so nice out yesterday that I put her highchair out there for lunch. She absolutely loved it.

Eating cheerios (her favorite). You can also see her raw cheeks and nose in this picture.

She is about to sneeze here. Notice the cheerio on her head.

Rubbing her eyes because she was getting tired. A great shot of the cheerio.

Here she is looking over the step of our deck. She can't decide if she is brave enough to go down. She never did.

She did figure out how to go up the step though.
