Sleeping habits...

On any given day you could walk into Jack's room and find this...

He likes to sleep with his little blankie draped over his face.

(Don't worry, we monitor this activity closely and we never let him sleep with it.)

Sick little guy...

While we were home in California for Christmas, Jack got his first cold. While he got over the congestion, he was left with a bad cough. I took him into the doctor when we got home to have him checked out and the doctor said that everything sounded good and his cough was probably just left over from his cold. He told me that it would more than likely be gone within a week or so.

We continued to wait for the cough to subside, but it never did. Then, over a week ago he came down with another cold and he was running a little bit of a fever. So, to the doctor we went. She told us right away that he had a mild case of RSV and an ear infection. She gave us antibiotics for his ear and a nebulizer to do breathing treatments every 3-4 hours.

Jack had a hard time with it at first, and we had to chase him around with the mask a little bit, but after a while, he started to get used to it a little bit. He even started to pull the mask up to his mouth and hold it there. Now, the medicine is a different story. I just hope we got some of it in his mouth and not all down his chin. We go back to the doctor on Wednesday, and hopefully she will give us the all clear. Until then, here are some pictures of him during his breathing treatments.

Biltmore Estate...

A few weeks ago we went up to Asheville North Carolina with some friends. We had been wanting to go to the Biltmore Estate ever since we moved here. We had heard how beautiful it is up there so we were excited to make the quick trip. For any of those that may not know, the Biltmore is the largest house in America. The house itself is 4 acres of floor space, and is surrounded by thousands more to make up the 125,000 acre Biltmore estate.

We had a great time visiting the estate. We ate lunch at the little Bistro that they have added, Went to the River Bend Farm on the property and toured the massive house which is surrounded by trees. We can't wait to go back in the spring and fall when the seasons change again. If anyone is up for a visit, come on out and we'll go!!
