eyes and ears

So guess what, we have another ear infection going on over here. I took Everett to the Dr on Thursday and sure enough both ears are infected. My poor boy! Sometimes I feel like I'm doing it all wrong! Although I look up "how to prevent ear infections" and the main things to do are: breastfeed, don't smoke around baby, keep away from sick kids, etc. He is breastfed, I stay home, we do not smoke. What gives? The Dr told me some babies just have short ear canals, and the next time he gets an infection he will be a candidate for tubes. It is so easy to blame myself, was it because I sometimes give him formula? Do the few times I have to leave him to take photography jobs make him sick? More often than not I am so hesitant to take him to the pediatrician because I tend to feel stupid if nothing is wrong. I probably should've taken him in sooner, but my dumb pride. Oh the trials and errors of motherhood. I just want my little boy to feel better!

here we are after 24 hours on the new antibiotic, he was feeling so much better!

Friday Chris got Lasik eye surgery! Everett and I went to Phoenix to take hime to his appointment. It took a lot longer than I was anticipating. We were in the office for about 2.5 hours. Not too fun with a squirmy little baby!
His eyes are 20/20 now and he is absolutely loving the results. We had set a lot of money aside in a health savings account last year anticipating bills from having a baby. Well we had a lot left over and it expires at the end of the year so we were able to use it on this procedure. Chris is trying to talk me into getting mine done next year! I joke with him and say there are other elective procedures I'd rather have done haha :)

I know I've been saying this a lot, but my goodness this boy is on the move! He is still "scooting" or "army crawling", but lately he's been getting one leg going with it and man he is fast. This weekend he found the door stoppers and electrical outlets. Must baby proof asap!
