still goin at it!

We are still trying to clear up this ear infection. We went to the doctor on Thursday to see if it had cleared up. It hadn't. So we got to do the shots again. Which is one shot a day for three days. The last one was yesterday and the infection is still there so we are going to finish up this last prescription of antibiotics and we'll see from there. We check his ears again in a week. So again, we're just keeping our fingers crossed. Oh and he is teething again too. So needless to say, we've had some long nights. But we're surviving. :)

Marc and Marriott were out of town so Ali and I took the kids to play in the water at the riverwoods. So fun.

SIKE!!!

Well we went to the ENT and he wants to wait and see if Jude gets anymore ear infections. If he does, then we'll do tubes. So my fingers are crossed as tight as can be. We're still taking antibiotics to clear this beastly infection up. I think he is teething again too. This would be his 6th tooth. I can't believe it. I am so nervous for the biting to start. Jude has turned into a busy bee. This new world of crawling and pulling himself up on furniture has made him not stop for naps. He just plays non stop. I will finally put a stop to it and put him in bed but that is a whole new world waiting to be discovered. It's been tricky. He sure has been fun though. He just my little buddy.

Finally passed out after playing in his crib for almost an hour.

Tubes, here we come!!

Well we went to our check up today to follow up on Jude's ear infection. I thought for sure we'd get good news. He's been doing a little better eating and sleeping great. I thought things were totally fine. But the infection is now in both ears. Which means we have been referred to an ENT who will put tubes in his ears. Jude has been doing pretty well considering. He's been pretty pleasant. Other then the whole eating thing. UGH! He's such a funny little guy. He has started crawling... kind of. He crawls with his arms and then scoots his legs up. But he's totally getting it. It's so funny to watch him figure things out. He acts as if he's been able to do it the whole time. I don't think he realizes he's doing something new. Such a funny kid. He is, however, sooo proud of himself when he pulls himself up on a piece of furniture. He'll just giggle and giggle. He also does what we call his crazy face. Where he holds his hands in fists near his chest and clenches his jaw and grunts. It is so dang funny. I make him do it all day long cause I think it is so funny. Well here are a few pics from the week.

Learning to share with Sundance. :)

Jude loves his Dr Suess books.

Really another one??

Jude has really become quite the little scooter. He just woke one morning and started doing it. He also started pulling himself up on furniture. He gets so proud and just giggles when he does it. He also has been trying to use some funny things to pull himself up on. My favorite so far is the dog. Sundance is a real good sport about it too. The other day he had a hold of her eye lid trying to pull himself up. Ha Ha!! Also Jude has been a nightmare to feed the last little while. He screams and fights the second I put his bib on. It's been horrible for both of us. I've been trying every trick I can think of and nothing is working. UGH!! So today I called my doctors office to see if the had any suggestions. They said to bring him in to just check him over. I did. I felt it was going to be a huge waist of time. He just hates eating. Nothing is wrong. Well, I was wrong. Not only is he definitely teething they said, he also has an ear infection on the left ear. Poor kid. I thought we had moved passed those. NOPE! So we are doing some antibiotics and we'll reevaluate in a week. Well until then. Here are some pics.

This car is meant to be used in the pool, not as a pool. But who cares?

Post swimming crazy hair. He looks more like Einsteins kid then ours.

Jude's a little trooper. He totally hung out in this ice cold water forever!! He's nuts like his daddy.

One thing he'll always eat. PEACHES! He acts like a zoombie baby chewing on flesh!!

CALIFORNICATION

We took a wonderful vacation with Marc's sister, her husband and two kids. It was great. We also had my two nieces come along to help out with the kiddos. They were awesome. We left Friday July 22 and spent the night in Vegas. It was so fun there I couldn't figure out why we would leave. We should just spend the week there. :) But we made it to Huntington Beach, CA. It was totally worth the extra four hours from Vegas. It was amazing and the place we rented was so great and it was one block from the beach. We all just loved it. We hit up a local neighborhood donut shop every morning and went to the beach several times a day. Got to do some great shopping. Hit up H&M. It was great. Marc and Marriott I think got to surf every day. We also got to spend some time with my bros Troy and Paul. Thanks again for the BBQ!! Yum! We stayed until Saturday the 30th and got home crazy early on Sunday. Jude did well on the drive. We timed it during sleep times so I didn't have to do a circus act the whole time in the back. Jude also liked the water, which is surprising cause it is so dang cold. But what he was obsessed with was the sand. We could never get a really great pic of him on the beach cause we couldn't get him to stop staring at the sand. He liked to eat it as well and we couldn't keep him from sticking his face in the sand. Such a silly kid. Anyways, on to the pics. :)

Jude passed out at the beach. So he slept in his swimsuit and towel.
