First cold

Well, my daughter got her first cold over the weekend. What a sad state she is in. Can't blow her nose properly, can't take meds, just has to stick it out and get lots of hugs from mommy and daddy. This is one of those times when I wish she could already use signs to tell me what's wrong. She has been fussy all day, and all I can do is guess that it's due to the discomfort of having a cold. So, until she is abe to begin using signs such as "HURT" and "MOMMY" I'll have to guess whether her crying is trying to tell me she is in pain, or that she just wants another hug. It's times like this that a new mommy adds to the list of words she wants to teach her baby!
