6 months old today!

Since Ollie was still sick on Friday, I stayed home again with him. I could get use to a 2 day work week! We were suppose to go to Albany for my friend, Lynne's baby shower. After the vomiting on Friday night, I figured we would definitely be staying home. Ollie must have really wanted to show off his new outfit to Aunt Lynne because he started to perk up late Saturday morning. We decided to take him and hope for the best. He was still a little cranky, but definitely starting to feel better. Here is a pic of Ollie in his new outfit-Big Boy clothes since he is 6 months old today!! Where did half a year go?

A Small Setback...

Just when we thought the amoxicillin was working and things were getting back to normal.....we ended up taking Ollie back to the doctors last night. You will notice he is only in his diaper. This is because he had a fever of 103!! Needless to say, this new mom freaked a bit. When you can fry an egg on your child's skin, that is pretty scary! His initial ear infection is gone, but he now has one in the other ear! They are not sure why the amoxicillin didn't clear that one up, but put him on Augmentin instead. Apparently, this is a stronger antibiotic. We are hoping that it works and our poor baby can feel well again!

Amoxicillin to the Rescue!

I took Ollie to the doctor's office on Monday because he has had cold symptoms, a low fever, and really cranky. He ended up having an ear infection, which explained why he was pulling on his ears and why his nose was so runny. I stayed home with him on Monday and Tuesday while he recuperated. The amoxicillin has started to kick in and he is starting to act more like himself. During all of this, he started saying "da-da." He has been babbling for a while, but no real words actually made it out. Of course, Da-Da is thrilled that he said his name first!

A Day of Rest...and Golf?

Ollie still has a cold, although it seems to be getting worse. He now has a terrible cough on top of all the other runny mess! I think I will have to take him to the doctor's tomorrow. He likes to snuggle and be held right now so he spent lots of time watching golf with Daddy today. I had a baby shower this afternoon, but when I came back they were working on his "grip!!"

Goopy Eyes, Runny Noses, And Drool..Oh My!

My poor little baby woke up this morning with a runny nose! His eye has been goopy for a week or so, but now he can hardly breathe because he has so much up there. Ugh. They say (yes, I am referring to those dang books I read) babies don't know to breathe through their mouths, but as you can see he figured it out. You will also notice that he is sleeping on his stomach. Once he figured out how to roll over, this became his new favorite sleep position. He was asleep at 6:30 tonight because he was so tired. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

A Walk in th Park

I was so hyped up for Idol yesterday that I forgot to post! It was a beautiful day yesterday and My friend Kelli brought Avery (Ollie's girlfriend) over so we could take them for a walk. They both dozed on and off, and unfortunately couldn't see each other. Still, it was great to get them outside in some fresh air!

Get Well Soon Grandma!

William's mom had surgery today, so we made her a get well sign and took some pics in his swing. He hasn't really wanted to be in his swing lately since he is always a movin' and a shakin' these days, but he is pretty cranky today. He actually loved to bang his feet on the middle part so the little guys would shake and make noise. We will miss Daddy tonight for Tubby time, but at least he can give Grandma kisses for us!
