The ear infection and aborted vacation.
William was on omnicef for an ear infection. I was actually somewhat relieved when he got the ear infection because i neivly believed that since he was on omnicef it somehow protected us and was a good sign for us leaving on our trip on the 30th. I didn't know how wrong I could be.
Wednesday morning I dropped the kids off at school and even had them take william's temperature. he was a little off and felt warm but was normal. I figured my hands were cold and they probably were. I called at noon to see how he was (they said he was fine and playful) and I decided to come in to play with him for a little while). I had to stop by Wegman's to pick up the second half of his omnicef prescription and while I was there the nurse called and told me William had a fever of 101.4. Off I ran to get my boy. The appointment was at 3:20 so I took him to work hoping he would fall asleep and I could finish up the few things that I needed to do. No such luck on that one and to top it off we had a fire drill - I apparently have the worst luck.
I submitted what i needed to do then went to get Evelyn. Of course William fell asleep in the car though he didn't sleep long. We went and got evelyn and were early for the appointment. we got in and sure enough there was another ear infection. The doctor put him on a new antibiotic in addition to the omnicef and told me to bring him back Friday if the fever had not gone away. well it definitely didn't and i was able to see his doctor who gave him the ceftriaxone shots. Well the first one anyway and indicated that he should get a second at his appointment the next day. That at least went as planned.
Sunday morning Jason gave william strawberries which I thought nothing of. William had been tugging at his ears a lot so we went to bring him in to the doctors again and by the time we got there he had quite the rash going. I wish I had my camera to take a picture of it. I didn't ask J to take a picture until monday when the rash was much better. At the doctors his ear looked worse than it had after the first two doses of ceftriaxone (thankfully we were able to see the same doctor). So we got another shot as well as azythromiacine. As we left the doctor said that she almost hoped that his ear would rupture so that we could use drops. at this point I am very happy we didn't end up driving to Indi or that this didn't happen either on our way or while we were there. But I wish we could have gone :(

Missing Evelyn's blog.
Every time i come on here to post i look at Evelyn's blog and miss it. it was so much fun to write and has a lot of information on it. allas i didn't have the time and now i suppose i would have to do one for her and one for William and that seems silly. So instead I will try to keep this one up it's not as fun but i still think looking back at it will be fun.

sugar and spice
Apparently I told William one too many times that girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice because today at daycare he took a look at one of his girlfriends and took a bite, The poor little girl.
Then on the way out the door Evelyn was goofing around and managed to walk into a wall. She was a bit stunned by the impact but William thought it was hilarious. He cracked up laughing - which i have never seen him do unless we are tickling him or playing peek a boo. I think grandpa would argue that this shows he has grandma's sense of humor.

Crawling
William is officially mobile. somehow he skipped the army crawl stage and went strait to crawling. he however does not go far, yet. I imagine that we will be chasing him around the house before long but for now he seems to only get a few feet. He is also standing amazingly well. He can stand for 4 seconds now (when he want's to) this seems to have occurred over night as he was not standing so well this weekend.
Evelyn is just a riot. on the drive home yesterday I hear
Evelyn: "that car is broken."
Me: "I don't see a broken car."
Evelyn: "that car is broken."
Me: (after noticing the convertible) "Is that car missing something?"
Evelyn: "yes:
Me: "What is that car missing?"
Evelyn: "A top"
Me: "That's right"
Evelyn: "mommy's car has a top, that car has a top, the broken car has no top."
Then after a brief walk
Me: "We need to go inside Evelyn"
Evelyn: "I'm an outside toy."

Sitting up
Evelyn spent the day at Grandma' and Grandpa's and Aunt Sarah and Grandma came to drop her off. As we were sitting chatting and playing in the "playroom" William went from lying on his belly to sitting up on his own! He did this three times in a short period however when I went to grab my camera to take a video he decided he didn't want to do it any more :(
