Ear Infection, Round 2
When I picked poor Sammy up from day care tonight he looked AWFUL. They'd taken his temp two different times, one was normal and one was slightly elevated. But he'd been on Tylenol because he was so fussy and they figured it was teething. So we got home and I called the ped who couldn't get us in but told us to go to the walk in clinic nearby. By then his temp was 101.1 and later at the clinic it was 101.8. Poor baby! But even feeling awful he was still a happy guy and Gavin did quite a job of entertaining him in the waiting room. No one can get that baby belly laughing like Gavin!
So. He's resistant to Amoxycillin just like Gavin. He's on the red poop making, diarrhea inducing Omnicef. (On a happy note, there is finally a generic - yay for $10 prescriptions!). I just get flashbacks of Gavin at this age and that this was the onset of 11 months of nothing but illness after illness all leading up to a hospital stay.
He still feels warm after another dose of Tylenol but he is finally asleep.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. Blogger is not my friend and somehow I can not load pictures lately. You'll get the mother load when I finally can! Something to look forward to!

SORRY SOCCER FANS!
I am SO sorry for not posting that his game was canceled this weekend. I promise I will do better.
The make up game is this Thurs (17th) at 5:30 at Crown Pointe in Johnston. Email me if you want to come and need directions. He is also playing this Sat (19th) at 10:45 at the little fields on the south side of the fields.
We've had a busy weekend/week. Gavin ran in his half mile fun run Thurs and did great! I think seeing the high school boys there was good motivation. He also had soccer practice that evening and did a very good job paying attention and participating.
Saturday we went to Boone for Pufferbilly Days, well, actually so Gavin could run in races on the real track. He did great at the 100 and 400 events, but had a meltdown during the 800. Tired from the first two I guess! We then stayed for the parade and the carnival.
He also started swim lessons Sat, they are Sat & Sun for a few weeks. Chad said yesterday he did well, but today I went to watch and he wouldn't participate at all.
Tonight we celebrated Gamma Jamma's birthday. See....busy! Not too mention I am taking on a new role at work. Before you get too excited, it's not a promotion.....just more work (sigh). A good opportunity but just a crazy time to take on something new. We'll get there.
I promise to post pictures soon. I can't believe I still don't have bday party pics up.

I have started feeling better after being sick for a few days, Mom can tell I am starting to get back to my squirrely self! The good news is that they were able to continue feeding me this whole time, I have tolerated the feedings well, and they keep increasing how much I get. Right now it is just being dripped through a feeding tube that goes in my mouth and down to my tummy. Hopefully I will be off the vent soon.

Sam's progress *updated*
Sam's OT came Tuesday morning to check in on him, and was amazed by how big he is! She was also very impressed with his development, with how steady and confident and coordinated he is. She said she could just see the wheels turning in his head and that he has very advanced problem solving skills.
I told her what we really need is a sleep therapist. I mentioned how he still can't go long between meals. She said maybe it's a growth spurt. I said he's never NOT been having a growth spurt! Ugh! I need some sleep. I love the baby snuggles, but it's starting to wear on me. I would even take the sleeping with me if we could just cut out the waking.every.TWO.hours!
Gavin's had some pretty grumpy evenings, but no reports from school about behavior. The kid that can never remember a thing about his day, I swear gave me the rundown verbatim on the Entertainment books. Speaking of, we are selling them for $2o. They include $20 off in coupons from Hy-Vee so they pay for themself.
Gavin runs his first race today - a half mile!
*update* speaking of progress, Sam made it to 4 am before waking. Of course it's now 4 am and he is WOUND and ready to party!

Sammy's first ear infection
Well we made it 7 months without antibiotics which is about the same as Gavin (except for his hospital infections). Sam's been snotty for a few days now and last night had a horrible cough so I took him in. No fever and not too much crankiness oddly enough!
Sam actually FELL ASLEEP IN HIS CRIB last night, courtesy of the Baby Einstein sea sounds and sights thing we bought for his crib. I laid on the air mattress out of sight and had to pet his head and hand him his paci a couple times, but he fell asleep and stayed asleep for five hours. A total record!
Here are some recent pics:

And here is Gavin in the same outfit
Nope, I guess they don't look alike at all!

Milestones for the Boys
Gavin lost his first tooth yesterday! Apparently it fell out in the library and he caught it. I hate anything tooth related and it totally grosses me out, but whatever.
His first soccer game went well - he scored three goals! Unfortunately the other team really knew what they were doing, and on our team Gavin was the only one really going after the ball, so the other team scored quite a bit. He had fun though. Of course getting a treat was his favorite part! No games this weekend due to Labor Day, the next game is the 12th at 11:45 am.
Sam just took off over the weekend - in a week he went from sitting for a few seconds to sitting for 10 minutes or more! He is so aware and engaged in everything around him. We went to brunch and he sat in a high chair and looked around at everyone, played with his toys, and ate half a pancake! Sunday I took him to the grocery store and he was sitting in the cart and digging through my purse. I finally realized he was hungry and was looking for his bottle! Which I always carry in my purse. And lastly, he is scooting backwards on his hands and knees. Only a matter of time before he is mobile.
