Sick ... again

A few weeks ago Taylor had an ear infection so we went to the doctor and got some antibiotics. We followed the prescription and about a week later, he seemed to get much worse. One night I think he only slept about 2 hours total and he usually sleeps from 7pm to 5:30am straight. I took him to the doctor that day and the ear infection was back. Here's the kicker: the prescription was wrong. I'm not sure who messed up, the doctor or the pharmacy, but it was only written for 4 days instead of 10. So we are taking medicine again now. He has gotten a TON better about taking it without spitting it all over you but he doesn't like it. He now also has horrible diaper rash for the first time ever thanks to the side-effects of the medicine. It is getting better but it has been a battle just to get his diaper changed. I am not looking forward to giving him a bath in the morning.

Catch up ...

I have missed out on a few monumental occasions recently that need to be blogged about. First up ... Father's Day. We sent the morning at my parent's church so that I could see my dad and then we went to lunch with my grandparents. It was a nice day over all but Taylor was not in the best mood because he ran a fever all weekend long. I think that Bryan had a great day despite the circumstances. This picture is us trying to bring down his fever with a cool washcloth. Taylor was amused.

Second ... my 10-year high school reunion. It was a long day but I got to see several people that I haven't seen since graduation and catch up with a few old friends. We had a good time at the park and Taylor especially enjoyed swinging.

Third ... our first "pet". Some friends of ours have a field full of donkeys and needed to get rid of one. Bryan decided that we NEEDED this donkey so he spent an entire afternoon fixing fence and getting ready for him. He is a very cute miniature Sicilian donkey named Pedro but he is loud! He has woken me up every single night which is very unpleasant, especially since Taylor is sleeping through the night 75% of the time now. Bryan is really ready for Taylor to start riding Pedro but I'm hoping to put that off for as long as I possibly can.

Last but not least ... our 2nd anniversary. I honestly can't believe that we've only been married for 2 years. It seems like a lifetime that we have been together. When I think back about all that we have been through and accomplished in that time and it makes my head spin a little!

Right now Taylor is sick again. We spent the morning crying and not sleeping so after an unscheduled trip to the doctor we have an answer. He has a double ear infection which is apparently a result of the sickness he had a couple weeks ago. On Friday he will be 7 months old and he's still getting bigger and stronger. He's trying to pull up on things but hasn't really gotten the hang of it yet. He is crawling but not very fast or effectively. He STILL isn't eating anything other than his bottles. Several other people have tried to feed him with the exact same response so I'm not sure how long it will be until we can actually get some food in him.

Completely off topic, I have the cutest new nephew in the world. He is 3 weeks old today and just precious. Hopefully the boys will grow up to be great friends and confidants.
