Ear Infection #3

We've had a strange last 24 hours around here! Tyler lasted all of about five days as a healthy baby (without even a runny nose). He took a rapid spiral downwards over the last day...

Friday morning, happy with a slight runny nose

Morning playtime, loving the music table. Tyler now pulls himself to standing with ease, but isn't moving any distances yet on his feet.

Tyler tries in vain every day to open these drawers. Thankfully they're heavy and he's not had any success (they hold all dad's DVDs). I sense a future mess!!

After a very cranky afternoon we went on an afternoon walk to try to soothe Tyler. This is his first time in the big swing! He's not looking very confident about this!

Mom got in the swing with him and we had lots of fun. This was the high point of our day. Then we went home and Tyler continued to fuss (we thought because he didn't get a good afternoon nap). He went to bed at 7 and woke up at 9 with a temp of 103!! Even with Tylenol he woke up every two hours, exhausting mom and dad, and the temp never fell below 100.

Tyler's finally resting after a long morning at the pediatrician. Thankfully he tested negative for H1N1 and step.... but we were surrounded by little kids who weren't so lucky. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we didn't pick up a new illness in the waiting room (especially since we were there 1 1/2 hours). "Just" a nasty ear infection... but at least antibiotics should do the trick.

Stay tuned for updates! Oh... and our little man now weighs 20 pounds 7 ounces!
