Nona & Pop Pop

Last weekend, Josh, Liam and I went up to Virginia to visit Josh's grandparents.  Josh's parents met us there as well, and we had a great little weekend of visiting, shopping, "mimming", etc.  Before the trip, I had been showing pictures of Josh's grandparents (Nona and Pop Pop) to Liam and saying their names over and over in hopes that he would say them back.  Well, low and behold it worked and before we even left I was able to snap this little video and send it their way to show them that Liam was very excited to see them....

In other news, we have had a rough couple of days (actually couple of weeks) in our house.  Liam has basically been battling ear infections since early July.  This latest one puts us at number 6 since December.  Sadly, this one was not resolved by the oral antibiotic meaning that Liam's body doesn't even react to that medicine anymore since he has had it so much so often.  Sooo, our only other option to get rid of these was to get a shot of Rocephin, which is an intramuscular antibiotic that is pretty powerful and usually jumps starts things quickly (according to my doc anyway..I'm not the expert here).  The bad part was that if it didn't heal the ears entirely after one round of shots, we had to go back the next day (and sadly the next) to get 2 more rounds of shots.  We finally finished the last round this morning and I could not be happier!  I think I had more anxiety over it than Liam did.  After this last round of craziness, our Dr did tell us to go ahead and schedule an appointment with an ENT about possibly getting tubes for Liam.  I think its about time and honestly I'm pretty ready for them at this point.

Oh and in other news, Liam's daycare forgot to put bugspray on him yesterday and he came home with 6 mosquito bites that turned into welts over night....awesome.

On the bright side, at least the shots are done and the welts should subside over the next few days so we will be hopefully be on our way to bigger and better things :)
