Cough cough....gasp..cough.....cough..

Every day I think that this just has to be the turn-around day. But the Cough Monster coughs on.. Last week the doctor said it was just a viral thing and it needed to run its course, so we continue to wait it out.

Aside from the coughing, Elijah seems to be feeling just fine. He is crawling all over the place, making messes at each stop. He appears to be attempting to master the art of The Tantrum lately, too. He has gotten really good at throwing enormous fits for no apparent reason at all. He is one feisty, stubborn, strong-willed little boy. I keep reminding myself that these are good traits to have while lying in a hospital bed after surgery.

I have been trying to take more video of him lately because I want to remember everything. I wish I could bottle up his smells and sounds and always remember them as clearly as I do now (maybe minus the tantrums). I feel so lucky that he is such a cuddly boy. He likes to crawl over to me and reach for me. When I pick him up, he puts his arms around me and rests his head on my shoulder. He's my little snuggle man, and I'm so thankful that he enjoys the hugs and closeness as much as I do.

I have a busy first part of my week, so pics and video will have to wait for the last part of the week. And a question for fellow bloggers.. Have any of you ever looked into turning your blog into a printed album or book? I really want to do this for archiving purposes. Someday, I want Elijah to be able to read through all of the entries we have written, and also to see the comments people have left for him. I found one place that is compatible with Blogger, but their site isn't very user-friendly. I'm wondering if there are better sites out there dedicated to this sort of thing?
