So I know all I do on this here blog is rave about my sweet little guy, but you guys, seriously, I just love this boy so much. And all those cliche things are true. It goes so fast, blah blah blah...I thought I loved him when he was first born, that I couldn't possibly love him more, but here I am, 455 days later and I feel like I love him a billion times more than I did then, and I'm sure in another 455 days I'll love him even more. It doesn't seem possible, but I'm sure it'll happen.
Today I took him to the doctor for this lingering cough he has and wrapped it into his 15 month well visit. He was originally sick a week or two before Christmas, nothing serious, a low grade fever and the sniffles, and here we are in mid February and he's still coughing. Mostly at night and after naps, and maybe here or there during the day if he gets laughing real hard. He laughs quite a bit, the kid thinks he's hilarious and you're hilarious and I'm hilarious and everyone's hilarious. Everything is funny. Other than the coughing, he's normal. No wheezing, no stuffy / runny nose, so I hesitated even calling about it, but seriously? This long and no improvement? I had to go in.
I held him on my lap while his pediatrician listened to his lungs and I just couldn't get over how cute he was. In nothing but a diaper, his little buddah belly poking out, skinny little arms and legs. He's a shy guy around strangers, not overly so, he just gets quiet with his big eyes wide, his bottom lip tucked in. He sat there watching her very intently and quiet as a mouse, as her stethoscope moved around his back and chest and I almost started giggling, he was so dang serious and cute.
please excuse the avocado all over his shirt...
It's funny to see him shy, because he is such a goof around those he knows.
They couldn't come up with anything, lungs are clear, doesn't seem to be asthma, could be allergies but they can't really do anything about that. Or something. More wait and see, which is expected but not what I was hoping for. I'm glad it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much, but his sleep would sure improve without it. And mine.
Ahhhhhhhhh....... I love ya kid!!!!
