Wow. 5 months old. People weren't joking when they told me that time flies by when they are babies. My son is 5 months old!!!!! We have started him on solids. A little rice cereal in the morning. A little oatmeal at night.
I think we have dealt with about 10 cold strains so far plus a bout of RSV. We are also dealing with Excema. You know, it's funny. Some people have children that cry and cry and can only be calmed by running the vacuum cleaner. Some people have children who won't eat and won't sleep. I have one with broken out skin and a snotty nose that runs like a fountain, but one thing is for sure. I am learning more and more about my son every day and I am fascinated by every move he makes.
When he is stuffed up or coughing all I want to do is cry because I can't make him feel better. When he had a fever of 102 with RSV I was crying right along with him.
Someone once said to me, having a child is like letting your heart run around outside your body. Yes...it's exactly like that. And I have only just begun.
P.S. I have a friend who is expecting a baby any day now. She asked ME to help her buy things at Babies R Us. ME!!! I have experience now! Just a few short months ago I was standing in an explosion of unknown baby stuff with the rest of the expectant mothers. And now...I know what ALL that stuff is! Ha Ha!!!
