Ethan: Well...went back to the doctor after another 103 fever day on Monday and just as we suspected his ears are not better. Actually to our surprise, the right ear was starting to clear up but still not 100% and the left was just as bad as ever. So, we have an appointment on Wednesday with the Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist and we'll just go from there. Our pediatrician didn't feel good about putting him on any other antibiotics given how many he's been on in the last month so we're just doing pain medicine as needed until his appointment. Luckily, he's been doing awesome! Sleeping and playing great just as if nothing was wrong. Chris and I were joking that it would be crazy if we went to the ENT and he was better after getting off the antibiotics.

Anyways, on the bright side our little boy went from completely anti-bottle to...

All of a sudden a bottle is the best thing in the world and he's taking it like it's no big deal! I love this picture because you can see the milk running down his face, he's so messy! I'm not totally convinced yet, but we'll just wait and see if it sticks. I wasn't planning on completely giving up nursing yet anyways so we'll see what happens.

Lauren: Braces are on...doesn't hurt as bad as I was anticipating, but it's definitely NOT a great feeling that's for sure. I guess the pro to having braces as an adult is that I've already done the baby thing and know how bad contractions can be so braces aren't so bad. The worst part by far is that I it really hurts to eat and since that is my favorite thing to do, it's a bummer! Tropical Smoothie Cafe, here I come!
