Allergies or Teething or Both?

Why, oh why, does this always happen right before a playdate at our house? Tomorrow is National Pretzel Day and Parker was going to host at pretzel playdate! We have TONS of different kinds of pretzels and even some new toys to share with our friends. However, Parker has had a runny nose for a couple days and this morning he started coughing and sneezing a lot. After his afternoon nap, we took him to Pediatrics After Hours and had him checked out. His ears are clear but his throat is yucky! The NP said that it's allergies and if he seems to be getting worse, we need to have our pedi check him. She said that since he's teething too, it doesn't help. So we've rescheduled the playdate so we can keep the other babies healthy, just in case.

The picture above isn't that great but I only had about a second to take it before Parker started fussing again. The outfit was given to us before Parker was born and is an 18 month pj set (go Astros go!). It seemed at the time that it would be FOREVER until Parker could wear it but not so much. He is not even 8 months old and is already wearing 12-18 month clothes! Since Parker is eating table foods now (only baby oatmeal and fruits for breakfast), he is growing and sleeping so much better. While at the dr today, he weighed almost 23lbs! Such a BIG BOY now.
