Reading is fun....Can we start the story now?

5 months, 10 days old

I'm sitting at home on this gorgeous Friday afternoon taking care of a sick kiddo. Double ear infection, high temp and mucousy lungs are to blame. Weeeeeeee! Barrett had been acting a little off the last few days and not sleeping well. I chalked it up to Daylight Savings or possibly teething for a while but a very clingy baby and lots of ear rubs later, I called the doc to make an appointment. The pediatrician wanted to see him a bit earlier than 6 months for a weight check anyway so we combined this visit with that and an ear check, just as a precaution.

It was a rough morning after being up with him from 1:15 to about 3:30. The kid was pretty miserable. He basically never ever lets me rock him and last night, we were rocking fools. He would pass out and as soon as I laid him down and got back into bed, he would scream. Then add in a tired, cranky baby with a serious diaper explosion and him peeing on me while at the doctor, it was an almost comical morning!

I picked up his meds and headed home. He's been in bed sleeping for almost two hours now which gives me time to catch up on some things before we pack it up to head to Pontiac for the weekend.

And since no post is complete without pictures...
