We're Back

Jack and I are back from our road trip to Dallas. It was originally our Christmas trip, but got delayed due to illnesses (Jon's and mine). We didn't want to be away from our ped in case Jack got sick, so we waited several days after we were sick to be sure he wasn't going to get it. Unfortunately that meant Jon couldn't go with us, because he couldn't reschedule his vacation at work.

The day before we left, Jack refused a couple of bottles, which was very unusual for him. I spoon-fed him one of his meals, but it took almost an hour. We figured it was just a fluke though...unfortunately not. During the 2 day road trip to Dallas, Jack refused most of his bottles. We took him to an urgent care pediatric place there and discovered that he had a double ear infection, plus 3 molars coming in! Poor guy! So we ended up staying in Dallas 2 weeks so he could recover. We got back Friday evening, and spent the weekend catching up on groceries, laundry, etc.

Jack is getting a lot better at standing supported, and Saturday he stood holding onto his activity center, without any support, for 60 seconds. He also enjoys banging on the laptop keyboard - his favorites are the function keys - he brings up all kinds of random stuff!
