L is so cute. Last Monday we bought him this necklace because on Sunday he was inconsolable. We were having dinner with the Porters and had to take turns eating dinner because he was just fussy and crying the whole time. Luckily Gtown is the kind of place where you can go to a store and buy an amber necklace : ) I think it helps, even if I don't believe in it.
L has a cough. L has had a cough for 8 weeks. It's possibly allergies. It's possibly allergies overlaid with the various minor colds or family has had over the last 6 months. For a while I was worried that it was pnemonia, but in general he seems fine. He did have a fever 2 weeks ago, on and off for 1 day. But B had also had a fever 2 days prior, so I chalked it up to a virus.
Thanks to the necklace he seems more happy, so I'm less worried about the cough. But maybe he has asthma.
Also on the Monday that we got the necklace, he started going up on hands and knees! He's almost 8 months old and is finally maneuvering into a sitting position and able to balance. Previously he just rolled around like a ninja.
