Last night he woke up at 2am with a horrible wheezy cry! I ran into his room (flew is more like it, I don't think I touched the floor) and he had a horribly runny nose! OH NO! What do we do? Do we take him to the ER? Okay, let's think about this...is he running a fever? No. Is he breathing funny? No, he's just snotty. He was smiley and happy to see us. What do we do? Call Nana in the middle of the night and ask her what to do. Thankfully, she is a voice of reason.
After describing his symptoms, we narrowed it down to possible food allergies or teething. The food allergies were ruled out since his tummy actions seem normal. No funky rashes and food allergies likely wouldn't present as cold symptoms. So, we factored in his age, developmental milestones and the past 2 months of drool and hopefully he'll just cut his first tooth in the next few days. We're very excited for this!
We had two sets of 6 month photos taken today. We had our friend Jen take some at the pun'kin patch. We got some great shots with his buddy Sara and they're just so cute together. We also had some done with the Boston skyline in the background. Those were incredibly cold and hopefully came out well because I'm not sure I want to relive that particular moment. Jack did fantastic through both--leading me to believe further that he's just cutting teeth and not sick. Besides, his feeding hasn't cut back and isn't the saying "feed a fever, starve a cold"? I always lose my appetite when I'm super stuffy and Jack appears to be in excellent eating form!
I love babies in black and white
Happy boy!
Learning to sit!
DIMPLES!
Sly face
I just can't seem to get over how much more in love with this boy I get everyday. He is the epitome of happiness and just warms my heart every time he flashes that toothless grin. I hope we have enough toothless photos because it's the best smile ever!
I love you Buddy!
I love, love, love your photos. Also, I love the design of this blog. Where did you find it?

I did the header myself (to my specifications-I added the picture and the font, but I think it's from shabby blogs) and adding the fonts to the blog titles was a pain, but you can get the directions here:

I honestly can't remember how I did the sidebar titles...they're gadgets and it was more of a stroke of luck that I was able to do it. kevinandamanda.com also shows you how to add a signature to your blog!
I just started blogging and went completely nuts with it!
