Bennett's Back

Bennett has been sick for the past 2 weeks with a yucky cold and an ear infection. It has finally passed and we are so glad he is back to normal.
Here he is, feeling sick but still a smiley guy.



To get us through I am so grateful for honey, lemon juice and Baby Einsteins.
Since babies can't have cough syrup until 2,(not that it really helps anyway) I finally tried out a natural method. 1 part lemon juice to 2 parts honey, melted in the microwave. I gave him 1 teaspoon a few times day. After one day he had improved so much.
**important** babies under the age of 1 cannot have honey!!
Every night Bennett would make up in hysterics. So many times we were ready to head to the ER, but we would put on a Baby Einsteins and he would settle right down and be ready to go back to bed. Here is Jon and B at 1 in the am.



We admit, the cuddle time was fun because that is rare with Bennett. But we are so glad he is back to his silly self.
