Update

So a lot has happened since I last wrote.  Looks like I spoke too soon about having "my Nash" back.  About a week ago he woke up about 11pm coughing and gagging.  His sinuses were so stuffed up and he had a lot of drainage going into his throat.  We tried several things to make him more comfortable but ultimately we were up several times with an unhappy little boy.  We went to the doctor the next day for Nash's 15 months checkup.  The doctor and I decided to wait one week on his vaccinations which I was so relieved about.  He was diagnosed with croup...what next?  It seems like it's one thing after another.  I must say I am thankful that he does not have the ear infections that I had as a kid.  

He is doing better now but still has a cough and of course...the runny nose.  He is also going through this stage where he has become a little more "high maintenance."  He always wants to have someone holding his hand when he walks and will cry we let go of his hand or expect him to entertain himself for a few minutes.  From what I hear, it's a stage that a lot of kids go through.  It's frustrating for Jason and I because we are so used to Nash being such an easy going kid.  I know it has something to do with him not feeling like himself lately.  Not to mention that he is probably getting another tooth that I can't quite see yet.  He's been through so much in the last two months and like I've said before, he is such a trooper.  We have lots of good times in between the meltdowns that keep us laughing.  He is still soaking things up like a little sponge.  He is starting to learn his colors with an emphasis on starting.  He likes to say "yellow" for most colors.  He loves mandarin oranges and raisins.  He hates cucumbers.  He still loves to be outside and has taken up chasing birds.  We now have a swing below our deck which he likes too.  Please pray for Nash's health.  He goes in tomorrow for his 15 month vaccines.  We have yet to make it to the zoo which I know Nash will love!  Maybe next weekend if he is feeling good and the weather cooperates.
