Happy Monday everyone. As I mentioned on Friday, Maxwell wasn’t feeling so hot last week. I was really hoping he would wake up Friday feeling better, but he didn’t. He was worse on Friday actually…just a generally miserable little guy. I took him up the doctor and we got the dreaded diagnosis – double ear infection. Ouch. The doc said the right one was definitely very infected and the left one was just starting with lots of fluid built up. We were sent home with an Amoxicillin prescription, ear numbing drops and advice to give him Advil every 3 hours. By that night, after 2 rounds of Advil, he was already doing much better. While he’s still pretty pitiful…mainly because of the insane amount of snot coming out of his nose (really, it’s insane. I’ve never seen so much snot)…he’s on his way to recovery. I’d like to thank his nursery school class for so generously sharing their germs to build up Maxwell’s immune system. 🙂
Robert and I were supposed to go to a wedding down in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night. Once we got the dreaded diagnosis, we debated about not going but, after seeing that he was feeling better Saturday morning, decided to go on and make the trip. He was left in the very capable hands of Susan so I had no worries at all.
Here’s Maxwell Saturday morning before we left…dressed to cheer on the Tide!
I’ve only been down to Tuscaloosa once and it was for an AL game. There was no game in town this past weekend so it was a good chance to explore a bit and check out some of the devastating tornado damage. So sad.
We did take time to stop into the Bear Bryant museum…
and now I can say I’ve done that. Yep, that’s about all I can say. 🙂 In all honesty, it was interesting…and I’m glad they only charge $2 to go in!
We then got all dolled up to go to the wedding of one of my Vanderbilt friends, Kate. The ceremony and reception were at her home and everything was just spectacular.
Please notice Robert’s awesomely tied bow-tie that I tied for him (with a little help from YouTube)!
It was so fun to see a bunch of friends that I hadn’t seen in quite a while, like Adrienne and her husband, Josh.
Kate looked beautiful and her dress was gorgeous…
Too bad you can’t see her dress in that picture. I need to give Robert a less on taking pictures of the bride!
We had a blast and danced the night away…
but couldn’t wait to get home to this guy the next morning!
I’m hoping we’ll get our little buddy back to normal this week. Being sick is the pits!

Poor little Maxwell – it’s no fun to be sick for baby or parents – but it does appear he has some swell new red shoes!
Jen says
Yay for Susan! So glad you could go to the wedding. You’ll look great! Hope Maxwell feels better soon!
Dad says
Elmo’s laces are his arms that wrap around Maxwell’s feet. Sesame Street never ceases to amaze me. They’re so cool I’m going to check the website to see if they have any for me. What!? It’s not like I’m cool anymore to really care.
Cara says
A sick child makes you appreciate the well days. Maxwell has such good caregivers!
Happy birthday to Robert a little early!! Have a “cool” and joyous day!!

Great wedding pix. Sorry our little guy is having ear trouble – just like his dad. Maybe he won’t have to have tubes. Hope he is feeling better soon!
