Stuffy noses and silly toys

Jasper slept better last night. Seth has still got a cough but seems to be on the mend. I woke up with a sore throat and am praying I am not getting the ick.

I bought a humidifier yesterday and put it in Jasper's room last night. He was still stuffy when he went to bed and woke up with boogers around his nose, but the poor guy could breath better and that meant more sleep. He doesn't have a fever and aside from sleeping, he seems to be feeling just fine. I'm thinking he's not sick; maybe he just had some nose problems from the dry air.

Here's a fun pic from this morning. This gigantic bouncy toy was a Christmas present. He's still a bit small for it, but he's enjoying a couple of minutes of time with it here and there. He really loves the frog and already seems to get it that he can make it move. While watching it the other day, we're pretty sure he made the first official sound I'd call a laugh.

This next pic is of him in his Bumbo. Yes, it's pink. Janet asked if we'd gotten it from a friend who had a girl. Nope. It's brand new. I was having a mommy moment when I bought it, and for reasons that seem too complicated to explain, I thought it was a green seat. It's pink. And Seth threw the box away. So, Jasper has a pink seat. We were thinking that this was a good test of our strength as parents. We know full well that the color of the seat makes absolutely no difference to him. So, we're bucking the trend and letting our little bundle of boy enjoy his new, pink chair. We think it's pretty funny. He seems to like it although he's now got to learn how to bring a toy to his mouth when gravity isn't on his side.
