Poor Baby!

We came home to find Jackson beginning a cold that is just now going away. It wasn't soon after that Cooper was stopped up and miserable too. To top it off he got his first tooth ( again... ) during the same time. Talk about misery loving company!
Today was his 6 month well check appointment and as I feared, he has an ear infection. I kept telling myself if was just the congestion topped with the pressure of his swollen gums that as making him not want to eat or sleep. That is the last time I second guess myself on ear infections.
Jackson used to get so many that I'd just call the Dr and tell her he had another one and she would call in the anitbiotics. At first she would want me to come in, and after awhile she knew I was right. When she said that if he got "one more" it would be time to talk about tubes. Funny enough, that was the last one he had gotten. Hopefully Cooper will not go down the same road!
On a happier note, he is growing like a champ, and we got the go ahead to maybe try oatmeal and fruit. The rice made him a bit gassy but not painfully. Dr said most fruits except citrus and berries shoudn't bother him. I'm sure Cooper was glad to hear to hear that- he has been grabbing our plates and glasses trying to get a snack!
