Springtime Sniffles

We've had a few colds in our house lately. Nothing too bad for Archer and I, but poor Jason got a full on sinus infection.

Archer's sniffles Saturday night gave me a chance to test out one of our newest baby gadgets...the Nosefrida snotsucker! Made in Sweden, it's a nasal aspirator that involves sucking the snot from your baby's nose through a tube. Sounds gross, right? It's actually not so bad -- there's a filter that prevents the snot from going into your mouth, and it's cool that it's transparent so you can actually see that you are sucking some snot out. All in all the Nosefrida seemed to work quite well.

Here's a product photo showing how it works:


I'll spare you any photos of Archer getting his snot sucked out, and instead share this cute photo of Archer's first (brief) nap in his crib Saturday afternoon.
