Feeling better...

Caden has been sick for the last week :( It started out as just a runny/stuff nose and congestion which didn't seem to bother him a whole lot the first couple of days, but then the next 3 days and nights he seemed miserable. He was very fussy, kept tugging on his left ear, and wouldnt even sleep in his crib for those 3 nights. The only way he would sleep is propped up laying on my chest, which he would still wake up screaming from a sound sleep. So I decided to take him to the Dr. to check for an ear infection. She couldn't tell if he had one because he had so much wax in his ears and the canal is so small at that age and she didn't want to flush his ears because he is so young and she said it's extremely painful. Based on what I told her and that I had ear infections growing up, she prescribed some Amoxicillin. I'm so glad she did because he has been feeling SO much better since. He is now back to sleeping in his crib just fine! Still has a stuffy nose but it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much.

He is about 4 1/2 months old now! Here's what he's been up to:

- Talking/Cooing a lot

- Belly Laughing

- Pushing himself up with his arms and trying to scoot

- Just started to roll from tummy to back

- Grabs onto things and brings them to his mouth

- Started on cereal 3 weeks ago and is doing really well with it

- Loves his Baby Einstein DVDs, jumperoo, and play gym

- Smiling, Chewing on Everything, Drooling, and lots of SPIT UP!

- Great about going down for naps/bedtime. We lay him down awake and he'll talk to himself a little and then go right to sleep.
