ugh, it feels like it's been so long since i've blogged. i took caleb back to the doctor on monday because he was constantly tugging at his ears and waking up several times at night. even when i would bring him into bed with us he would wake up screaming, saying "no, no, no" every hour. so, i took him back to see his pediatrician. she wasn't able to see any infection, but she did see fluid in his ears which can be an indication of infection. so he got a shot of antibiotics since all of the oral antibiotics haven't cured him. my poor baby. he has been on antibiotics almost continuously since the beginning of january. the antibiotics cause him to have diarrhea so his diapers have been really fun to change! the shot of antibiotics hasn't given him the runs yet, but he pooped 8 times yesterday. EIGHT!! and he is sooo hard to change because he twists and turns a million times while you're trying to clean him up. it's really fun when poop gets everywhere. yay.
anyway, he slept great last night and he is in a very happy mood today so i think the shot helped. his pediatrician is giving him a referral to see an ear, nose and throat doctor. i'm so glad. finally, he might get some relief from all of his ear pain.
caleb is walking everywhere. he can walk around our entire house and he has a ball walking around the playground. i take him down the spiral slide with me and he loves it. today he spun around and went backwards down the slide and he was cracking up laughing so hard. i love him.

Caleb is getting to be such a big boy. Look at all he can do!
I am glad you are getting the referral. Hopefully the doctor will be able to make Caleb a lot more comfortable, especially at night! Hugs.
good news on the referral - sounds like those ears need some checking out - sorry you've had to deal with the aftereffects too! yeah for walking - that sounds adorable.
Thank goodness for some impending relief for those little ears! I feel so bad for baby Caleb- he's been having ouchie ears for a while now. Hopefully the antibiotics work or if he does need tubes, it's quick, painless and successful so he can be comfy cozy again!
BTW- those 11 months shots are gorgeous as usual. If I don't comment it's because I only have the same thing to say: HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! And I can't believe he'w walking around everywhere now- what a big little man! lol! Isn't it weird how all of a sudden he has become a BOY? And that you can laugh WITH him and actually have fun with him? Not that you didnt before but the interaction you can have as mommy is so much more different as they get bigger. He's your buddy! :)
happy birthday to caleb!
