Toby xo

Thank you so much for your sweet comments about Toby. He still has a monster cold (snot is everywhere!) but he's hanging in there like a champ. He's sniffly and sneezy but still manages the odd endearing smile. And he's pretty dazed: When I put him in the bouncy chair, he sat quietly staring at his hands like an old man. Poor baby. We're hoping he'll feel better by tomorrow. xo

(This is a photo of him when he was a week old in his beloved felt moses basket.)

We just finished our son's first cold, too - sounds exactly like Toby! Hope he feels better soon :) (he will - even if it seems like it takes forever!) Hang in there!

Feel better Toby and Mama. This is the sweetest picture of him. He looks so peaceful and content... makes you realize what life is really about.

p.s. this basket looks cozy do they have one for adults?!

what a sweetie. so so cute. the coolest thing is that when he grows up toby will have a record of his parents dating, getting engaged and married and then having him. Someday you should print and have bound all the personal posts from cup of jo. What a beautiful gift. He'll treasure all the little details and anecdotes your blogging records. feel better!

Kelly said...

We're going through the same in our house. Saline, nose bulb and a humidifier have been saving us. Hope you all feel better soon!

There is something about little babies being sick that makes my heart ache. I read somewhere that getting a little cold once or twice a year for infants-toddlers is a good thing in the long run. The body learns how to handle being sick and builds proper antibodies to take care of it in the future. I've met very proud parents who boast about their 3-year-old never even having a runny nose. Meh. I was a nanny for 6 years so I have a lot of stored up little tidbits! Hope he is feeling better soon!

Brittany said...

ohhh little sick baby...but the staring at the hands activity is actually a good 'developmental' thing.
Next - I think- comes their fascination with gravity. ---i.e- dropping things from their palms and watching them fall.
Get better soon lovies.

Stacey said...

Aww, as a new mommy myself, i know it's heartbreaking when our little one is sick. Sending lots of hugs your way. I sure hope adorable Toby feels better soon. XX

Lucy Calico said...

Hope Toby gets better soon. That is such a beautiful photo of him! xo from Spain

Café Bellini said...

Awww he looks so cute there! I hope he feels better soon!

Deanna (Silly Goose Farm) said...

When my son Eric was about the same age Toby is now, he would just look at his hands, too, and moan like he was thinking "What am I supposed to do with these things?" Baby colds are the worst. I remember the first time my daughter threw up (not spit-up), it was so weird. Feel better :-(

Notes from Holly St. said...

poor little guy...i hope he feels better soon :(. That moses basket is so cool and he looks so cozy in it!

Nell said...

Oh my goodness. He's so beautiful! x

AzoniBriefs said...

Gorgeous photo! Such a beautiful baby. I'll have to brush up on my photography skills for when my wife and I start having mini Azonis.

Laura said...

Feel better Toby (and everyone else!) My baby (almost 13) is home sick today, and it still makes me sad to see him this way!
Plus I am too old to get up during the night with him like I used to!

Lillja Designs - Jess Lillie said...

Wow....that photo is so precious!! He looks so comfy in the moses basket. I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Melissa said...

Could he be any sweeter? Hope you are all feeling 100% ASAP!

amynicole said...

Aaawwe, poor little T. I hope he feels better! Colds are no fun, I think I'm getting one, I feel it coming, hopefully I can fight it off though. He looks so sweet in that picture! What a precious little boy you have!

Mary said...

what a precious little one. my baby boy was born just a few days after toby, so it has been so fun to see your pictures and hear about your experience as a new mom. and i LOVE that felt moses basket. It's gorgeous.

la franglaise said...

It's funny to see Toby in just his nappy in most photos because my little bub was wrapped up all the time since he was a winter baby! Hope your little prince feels better soon.

Cheryl said...

poor little guy. my 4 month old got a nasty cold too :( it's tricky when you have an older sibling and they are in school bring home lots of little germs. baby's cold kept him waking HOURLY the last two weeks. Finally took him to the ped. Cold had blow up into a sinus infection. Hated to give him antibiotics so early but now he is just back to his two wakes a nice. phew! Two weeks of NO SLEEP was getting to me! xx

Amanda Swann said...

What a beautiful picture that is. It is the worst thing in the world to have sick kids and to see them miserable. My little one's have been sick for a month! I don't know if you have one, but a vaporizer or humidifier are amazing to help them sleep when they are stuffy. Good luck and hope you all get better.
