Esme's had a cold for about a week now. It started out as just a little runny nose but now she has lots of congestion and a wet sounding cough. Every morning I listen to her lungs and look in her ears and they're still clear. Taking her in the shower, using the humidifier at night, and saline spray in her nose seems to help and hopefully it goes away by the end of this week. In the process she's managed to give me pink eye which I've never had despite working in pediatrics for the past 6 years. Thank goodness for sample antibiotic drops that we have at my workplace!
Ms. Faye says that Esme is such a great eater that she wishes all the babies could eat like her. I told her she must have Esme confused with another child cause that's not how she eats at home. We're thinking that she does better with all the other kids around and at home she's just not as interested. She seems to be enjoying actual solids now like rotisserie chicken, toast, garbanzo beans, pineapple, strawberries, mashed potatoes, and cream of wheat.
