Two teeth, two ear infections, crawling and a whole lot of da da da's.
His 6 month Dr.'s appointment showed his first ear infection. Mom felt awful because that lingering cough since New Year's was probably a sign things weren't quite right. The waking up throughout the night whining wasn't from teething or just being more socially aware..ear infection. The occasional ear tug wasn't from teething either...ear infection. That fever...oh wait, there never was a fever. It is just so hard to tell at this age just what is going on. Dr. assured us it was no big deal and the antibiotics took care of it in a matter of 10 days. We had our angel baby back.
And then the two bottom teeth showed up on the same night Aiden decided to try out his first crawls. Both Tim and I puffed out our chests with pride. But the next morning, I was a little sad. Tomorrow he'll be graduating High School...so it seems. Maybe that whining, ear tugging, night waking could have been teething after all.
Low and behold, the snow finally fell, albeit in Wisconsin. Tim was able to pack up the snowmobile and head north with the guys. Aiden decided it'd be fun to get another bad cold and keep me up all weekend. As I'm laying in bed at 2 AM, pillows propped around me, 3rd hour of Law & Order, baby sleeping on my chest, I think "oh please just let me put you back in your crib". And then, "I take that back, I will do this as many times as you need and as much as you want...forever." Love my little boy.
And then...cough, cough, cough, despite the fact that his cold cleared up a couple of weeks ago. So, off to the Dr. we go and sure enough, another ear infection. Same ear. Three in six months is the steadfast rule for ear tubes. I guess we will wait and see what month 8 does for us!
Two teeth, two ear infections, crawling and a whole lot of da da da's.
But what fun he has taking a bath now!
He learns something new each day and we wake up each morning as though it is Christmas. The excitement of what the day will bring as we watch our baby boy grow up before our eyes! And that cat tail that he loves to watch so much? Look out! He's on the move!
