Bring out the Infant Tylenol

Cold and flu season has hit our little ones hard this year. After ear infections, mild pneumonia and stomach flu in December and January, we thought we had our share of illnesses for the winter. Unfortunately, L & R had a few more colds in January, lingering into early February. Then this past weekend, Lucie came down with a fever and stomach flu again.

In talking to other parents, multiple illnesses can be common at this age. I've heard that babies with older siblings often get sick during their first year (all those germs coming home with big brother or sis), while first children get sick a lot as toddlers when they come into contact with more and more kids. Either way, it's no fun having sick babies.

At least being under the weather meant Lucie got to rest and watch golf with her Daddy on the couch. Though Ryan was feeling perfectly fine, he's not one to miss cuddle time (apparently neither is Igloo the Penguin).
