We're kind of in a strange place right now for a number of reasons. Apparently Callum isn't feeling well, or so the ladies at daycare say, so he's off to the doctor's again tomorrow. Although, he was happy as a clam at home tonight, he had a rough day at daycare- generally out of sorts and cranky. Based upon their explanation, he has the symptoms of an ear infection. He's refused his bottle all day which is weird enough for me to think that the sky is falling. Normally his "ba ba" = happiness. According to BabyCenter.com, my source of all medical information when I can't get a nurse on the line quick enough, refusal of a bottle is a good sign of an ear infection. His ear is also all red and scabby from where he pulled at it all day. Dear Lord- how many more times is this child going to get sick this winter? I swear he's had at least five colds, the plague- I mean stomach flu- and now an ear infection. Good thing I killed myself to breastfeed him- since breastfeeding wards off illness I'd hate to see what state he'd been in if I hadn't (leprosy?). But seriously, I didn't think he'd get sick this often. Okay, okay, some positives in Callum's life... he is a fast moving crawler and mover around of the furniture. See the pictures above as a demonstration of his speed. From the time in which he saw the camera (pic 1) to the time I took picture 2, it took him about 5 seconds to get to me. He also LOVES the cats, especially pulling their fur which is not so fun for them. Nor Callum once he gets swiped at for the first time-yet to happen. Callum's also started to add two new words to his two word vocabulary- "fish" which comes out as a whisper of a "ish" "ish" "ish". He also points at the light/ceiling fan and says "t..t..t". So despite the pronunciation in progress, he knows the sounds the words make. He and I will be off to the doctor's again tomorrow morning. Truly I am thankful for those 8:00 a.m. appointments because they don't completely mess up our entire routine. Although I am sure that he will sleep in the car on the way there and even through the entire time spent in the waiting room. I'll be able to wake him up just as he falls into REM sleep in order to take off all of his clothes to place him on a freezing cold scale. He can then illuminate the exam room and realistically the entire doctor's office with his screams of fury. Can you see we've done this a few times before?
