Wow, that's a lot of snot

Xander's had a cold for the past couple of weeks. It was just a snotty nose for the first week, then it cleared up for a few days. Then it came back with a vengeance. There has been runny nose, coughing, sneezing, wheezing and sadness. The worst is he isn't smiling. It's so sad when I go out and people notice him and he doesn't smile. It makes me want to hug and squeeze him.

This weekend we found a Leapfrog table at a garage sale. I guess it's just as good as a Learning Home. He loves the music on it and turning the 'page' on the book. His favorite thing to do is dance to the alphabet. Xander is also figuring out how to look under things and to crawl under and/or through things. It started with realizing that Ainsley was hiding under his crib. I pointed her out and he slowly lowered himself down and turned his head to lay on the ground. Now he's going under chairs and yelling when he hits his head. We also have to keep hauling out from under the end table in the back room (he tries to crawl through it to get the the cords behind it).

Here he is yesterday getting stuck crawling though the book shelf. He was wearing a cloth diaper, so I guess he didn't realize how big his butt was. I had to turn him sideways and push him the rest of the way through.
