On Friday, Mom picked me up from daycare only to learn that I had a possible ear infection. Pasai told Mommy that it was hard to say since my appetite was good, I had no fever, I wasn't fussy or pulling at my ear. Rather be safe than sorry (I think that's my Mom's motto lately:-) she immediately called the pediatrician and spoke with the advice nurse (Julie was her name I think). Julie told Mommy to see if I got better overnight and if not to call first thing Saturday. Well folks, I guess my number was up because at 7:59 am (the office opens at 8:00 am) Mommy was calling the Pediatrician's office.
At 9:30 am we arrived at the pediatrician to a friendly staff waiting to check me out. I won most of them over with my smile and the steady gaze I gave into each of their eyes. First things first, I have to get weighed. Drum roll please................................ 16 lbs 9 oz is what my current weight is. I've come a long way baby! Soon afterwards the Nurse Practitioner came in (Lisa is her name - she's blonde with blue eyes - a real hottie). Lisa checked my lungs, asked Mommy several questions and then checked my ears. Sure enough, I had an ear infection. Mommy was not to thrilled especially since she realized that meant antibiotics as such a young age. I think Mommy has too much education on the effects of antibiotics but ultimately she knows that the amoxicillin is what it will take for me to get better.
Saturday was low key for our family. The weather has been beautiful here - high of 90 with low humidity. Daddy took a bike ride and then Aunt Anne & Uncle Frank came to visit for a little while. Mommy wanted to get out but had a cold so she and I hung out together, which was cool.
Sunday was my favorite day of the weekend by far. Daddy and I read the paper together (this is becoming one of my favorite traditions), Daddy and I watched some war series on HBO (Mommy didn't seem to happy about that), Daddy got to talk to Grams (I can't wait to show her some of my new clothes - they're great for holding frogs), Mommy took care of some work projects and I got lots of naps.
All in all, this weekend was a good one! Now if my Nana would just get back from Alaska and call me. My Mommy said that she's due home today after being gone for 10 days and she's really missing her too. Nana if you are reading this, please call or else Mommy might stalk you :-).
Have a great week everyone!
Love,
Emerson
Daddy and I after reading the paper, we're on to the Newsweek magazine.
Daddy's political views put me to sleep!
We both had to change clothes... I got a little sick. Daddy and I hung out in the basement and I soon fell asleep with Mr. Winks.
