A Day of Firsts: First Cut, First Cold

As I shared yesterday, today was Levi's first haircut.  His wings are gone and in a plastic bag for keepsake purposes.  Not only did Levi have his first haircut today, but he also has his first cold :-(.  I know, I know, how cruel am I for taking him to get his hair cut at only 5 1/2 months with a runny nose...I'm terrible.  His MD suggested saline solution for his stuffy nose, so, 2 pharmacies later, we begin treatment.  I was very glad to discover that this saline solution also came with a nasal aspirator, as our current one isn't very efficient in sucking out the...well, you know.  But, what I didn't find in the box was a straight jacket which you need in order to administer the saline solution.  Not that I would ever be able to strap down my son...I say this in order to give you all a mental image of how incredibly difficult it is to squirt something into an infant's teeny, tiny nose while he is turning backflips, rolling over, and karate kicking me all at once.  You mothers out there I'm sure understand my dilemma.  Did I even get the solution in his nose, probably not...I don't believe it ever reach its destination.  I'm sure he swallowed some and of course most of his lower face was wet with what I'm assuming was the solution mixed with tears.  Poor baby!  He can't sleep or eat very well because both of these require breathing which is interrupted by his over abundance of....well, once again, you know.  All I want to do is hold him and love him...he is so pitiful.  

As for his haircut....wonderful experience, despite his cold.  Lori, his stylist, was extremely careful and patient with him.  At least he didn't perform the same as he does while I'm trying to squirt the saline in his nose, if that was the case, he would look brutal!  As you'll see, he looks just as precious now as he did before and, hopefully, not much different.
