ear.in.fection.

Thankfully my baby has been lucky the past 14 months... no sicknesses other than common colds or a stomach bug here or there. But, Monday lil' H woke up with a 101.3 fever -- I gave him some Tylenol and 30 minutes later, his fever was up to 102.5 -- so, I called the doctor. We went in and she told us he has his first ear infection. Boo. However, she was proud that we made it 14 months and this is his first antibiotic! 

However, the past 36+ hours has been pretty hectic. Last night after his second dose of his antibiotic he threw up all over my pillow before bed. All night he tossed and turned, was sweaty, was cold. Then his temperature spiked to 104.3 -- YIKES! I was scared... so I called the doctor at 4 a.m. -- sorry Doc. -- doc. just upped his dose and told us to call if it hit 105.0 -- Seriously?

Thankfully his fever broke this morning. He napped all day and was playing a little. But, now his fever has gone back up to 103.2 -- Great. I hope it's not another night last night.

Check out my lil' boo boo all sick.

The Hawk

For those of you who don't get to see our lil' Houston much, the last time you saw him he probably had little to no hair... but now...

It's beginning to look like a mess after a bath...






so mommy brushes it into 'the hawk'.
