Hayden has met another milestone and this one's not developmental (although he has reached some new one of these too after working with Aunt Jilly this weekend... two word phrases.) The milestone I am talking about is an ear infection. Yep the dreaded ears. I thought he was going to be spared the misery of these but last week he caught a cold I had. After 5 sleepless nights Jeff insisted I take him to the doctor. I was confident that he just had a cold; nothing time wouldn't cure. Well on Tuesday I obliged Jeff's request and off to the doctors we went to find that yes he had a virus but had developed a secondary ear infection. I felt TERRIBLE. Not only am I his mother but I am a PA and didn't even recognize that my poor child was in need of the great pink antibiotic. In my defense he never grabbed at his ears or ran a fever. He is feeling much better on has completed half of his treatment. He requests more antibiotic and gets a little disappointed when he doesn't get a second serving of the bubble gum treat. He in fact was feeling so well that Grammie and Peepaw kept him so I could celebrate my 31st birthday with my brother in laws who share the same birthday.

Happy Birthday!! Hope you had a great one. Can't believe he just had his first ear infection! You are so blessed. Hope they continue to be so scarce.
