We've had a pretty quiet weekend over here; Cam is still in the throes of a yucky summer cold. When he got home from daycare on Thursday his nose was running like the Hoover Dam; that night he debuted a racking cough to go with the congestion :( I should ask our friends over the pond (Moray, Ruth and Calum) just how they taught their son to blow his nose at 8 months; Cam hates seeing a tissue coming at him!

Thursday and Friday nights he was up every 45mins - 1hr coughing, but it subsided a bit last night, and he slept from basically 7pm to 4am. K managed to get him back to sleep but he was up for good at 5:45am. He's been playing just fine during the day (and practicing walking a bit more, as you can see in the video), so except for the super runny nose and cough, he's in good spirits. We are just hoping this doesn't turn into another ear infection (since that means he'll be getting tubes), and are about to start trying a few drops of garlic oil in his ears based on some research we've been doing on homeopathic remedies. Can't hurt!

This cold did cause us to miss James' birthday party (Grant's big brother), which we're bummed about. We figured they wouldn't want our germs :) Can't say we'd blame them!! (Sarah, I'll drop off his gift this week). Hope everyone had a great weekend and it wasn't 104° in your neck of the woods!!
