Our funny boy

We tell many people that we can just sit back and watch Alex entertain us. This is what he did tonight.

Santa Video

In case some of you were wondering why we chose this pose, here's the video that goes along with the photoshoot. After I turned off the camera I told the camera man to take one with Santa looking at him because it didn't seem like he'd smile.

Thanksgiving

Alex shares

dang blasted ear infections

On Thursday, the daycare lady said he was pulling at his ear all day. On the way home I noticed he was holding his ear. So I made an appt for Friday am. Patrick brought him and the DR said it was teething.

So last night, Alex woke up at 1230 and 430 and was just weird. It wasn't the normal wake up in the middle of the night. Then he got up again at 630 and was fussy and inconsolable and fidgety. So we're sitting on the couch watching Blues Clues and I see drainage coming out of his ears. Both ears.

How can a daycare worker and parent know he has an ear infection but a dr can't see it then the next day it's so bad it's draining?

I'm so mad....another copay.

Bathtime Fun

Starting to Walk

We're Home

We left this morning at 5:30. Alex was taken in at 7:30 and we were with him in recovery by 8:00. After he woke up he was cranky cranky. He was starving. The last bottle he had was at 1am and I woke him up for that one.

We spent about an hour trying to make Alex comfortable. He was flopping and flailing everywhere, screaming and just miserable. Nothing we did made him happy, except for when he played with Patrick's Sunglasses or the wire for the nurse call button. Finally we got the all clear to give him a bottle and then we had a much happier little boy. Now he's playing like normal and seems totally fine.

Surgery Tomorrow

Alex is getting tubes put in his ears tomorrow. He has had an ear infection for a month and a half. The hospital is supposed to call today and let us know what time it's scheduled for.

Happy Halloween

We did not Trick or Treat. Alex was in bed by 7. Plus, with him being sick I really didn't want to bring him out in the night air and cold.





Here is Alex's new favorite thing to do.
