Poor little guy…
Jackson has had a slight cough for a couple of weeks now.  It started off as what we thought of as a fake cough but then he started doing it in his sleep and throughout the day.  Since he didn’t have a fever, the doctor suggested some at home treatments and if it wasn’t better then give them another call.  A week later, it wasn’t better so we decided to go ahead and take him in and turns out he has bronchitis.  They gave us an antibiotic to give him twice a day.  I didn’t realize how hard it is to give a baby medicine.  I tried to give it to him while he was eating some veggies and he just spit it out.  Then I tried to put it in his bottle and he
