Around here

February 13, 2014

Around here? Well, this one is sick.

sick

He has a “raging” ear infection in his right ear and pink eye in his right eye. Ugh. His throat hurts too and he could have strep but Dr. Walley basically said there was no reason to put him through the strep test because he’ll be on antibiotics for his ear anyway. Maxwell literally finished a round of amoxicillin last Wednesday and is now starting another round of a different antibiotic. Can we please get a break from the winter sickness?

Luckily, this one is healthy and I’m praying he doesn’t catch his brother’s pink eye!

Update – spoke too soon. Spencer woke up with major pink eye in his right eye. Ugh. Double rounds of antibiotic drops!

We had another “snow day” here yesterday where they cancelled school but no precipitation really came. They did the same thing on Tuesday. Everyone is just a little overly cautious around here these days after the Snowpocalypse of 2 weeks ago!

Ending today with a little video of my two little dudes entertaining themselves at the car dealership last weekend. We went to look at cars for Robert which meant he got to test drive and talk to the salesman while I tried to entertain the boys in the dealership! After the boys climbed all over the seats and console of the test car (which I’m sure the salesman loved)…

we did find this empty and pretty soundproof room which provided plenty of entertainment! I just love watching Spencey toddle around!

See you tomorrow with some Valentine fun!

A little more dining room fun

February 11, 2014

As you saw yesterday, underneath the dining room table is fun, but it’s even more fun when big brother joins!

Love these silly boys!

Obstacle course redux

February 10, 2014

Happy Monday! Hope you all had as good and productive a weekend as we did. Some fun pictures of Spencey today very reminiscent of these from when Maxwell was 11 months. Those have always been some of my favorite pictures and I loved capturing Spencer doing almost the same thing at 15 months!

Over, under, around, and through!

Finally he makes his escape!

Who needs toys when there are dining room tables to be played with, right?!

Make it a great week and see you tomorrow!

Easy peasy

February 7, 2014

Easy peasy – that’s how the tubes surgery went! Hooray! We got over to Children’s South bright and early around 5:50 am. Spencer wasn’t quite sure why he was up so early but had fun checking out the waiting room and making friends…

They then took us back and got everything ready to go. Every single person we encountered could not have been nicer or more helpful. Plus, we had several that said Barry (Susan’s husband who works at Children’s) had mentioned that they needed to be extra good to Spencer! 🙂 We felt very well taken care of!

Pre-surgery family selfie!

What? Doesn’t everyone take selfies before surgery? No? 🙂

They took him back and, I am not kidding, Dr. Bhuta was back in our room within 12 minutes to tell us it all went great. She said he did have some sitting fluid in his ears so they vacuumed that out and gave us some antibiotic drops. Other than going in for a checkup in 3 weeks, we’re all set! Spencer came out about 10 minutes later – with his puppy and apple juice in tow! – and was pretty groggy. They took all his vitals and had us hang out for a few more minutes to make sure he was ok, which he was despite a little fussiness.

post surgery

We were back in the car by 7:45 and home eating breakfast by 8:30!

Spencer continued to do great all day. You couldn’t even tell he’d had anything done that morning! Now let’s hope we’re done with ear infections FOREVER!

Happy weekend to you all!
