Ear Infection, Teeth Total=6 & Starting to Walk!

Hey Mr Liam,

This post is a bit late but I wanted to document it.  On Aug 9 Nanna called me at work that you weren't yourself, you had slept from when I dropped you off until lunch and wouldn't eat.  You had started to get a cold so I asked her to take your temp and I would call your doctor.  Sure enough you were at 102.  Your doctor's office confirmed that they would like to see you, especially because you were lethargic.  I left work and picked you up from Nanna's, back at home we had over an hour until your appointment so we sat in the rocking chair in your room and just snuggled.  Nanna was right, you weren't yourself, you are always on the go, not one to cuddle for an hour.

Before we knew it we were at the Dr H's office.  You weighed in at 21.2lbs and 29 inches.  Even the nurse commented that you weren't yourself.  Dr H came in and examined you, sure enough....ear infection.  These are common since you are teething with your top two teeth.  He called us in a rx for amoxicilin, gave us a few pointers and said he'd see us at your next appointment.

Back at home you were still a sad little guy.  You didn't sleep well that night either, I had to get up a couple times and rock you which means I took the next day off work to just care for you.  The next day you almost looked grey, you even had little dark circles under your eyes, it was so sad.

That was almost two weeks ago, you have finished your medicine and are totally healthy again, Thank God!  And two more teeth, on the bottom, are coming through!  You are going to have a mouth full of teeth before we know it!

Not only all this but you are getting really good at taking steps!  You will take about four in a row before you drop to your bottom and crawl.  You can stand independently really well too.  Dadda thinks it will be a week before you are walking, I'm not sure but you are so very close!

Everyday is so exciting, we love you so very much!
