Amy and I knew Caden and Caroline have not felt great the last few days. They have both been congested and would wake up in the middle of the night because of it. Caroline has stayed about the same but Caden has gotten a little worse. Today, Amy decided to take Caden to the doctor. (I'm so thankful we have good health insurance.)
After the doctor scraped all the wax out of Caden's ears, she saw our little guy had an ear infection. She decided to check Caroline's ears and thankfully they were fine. The doctor prescribed some medicine for Caden that should take care of his ears. Also, both kids have minor eye infections. We have a goopy gel to put on their eyes to help clear them up.
Both kids were weighed at the doctor visit. Caroline weighed in at 14 lbs 12 ounces (wearing a very heavy/wet diaper) which was up from 13 lbs 6 ounces a month ago. Caden weighed in 13 lbs 7 ounces (with a dry diaper) which was up from 12 lbs 11 ounces. Caden had been catching up but it looks like Caroline is starting to pull away again.
Despite having an ear infection, Caden was a delight tonight. He jumped in his jumperoo for a good 45 minutes while we made and ate dinner. I should have videoed our sick child having all that fun. With the whining coming from Caroline, you would have thought she was the sick one.

That's sad about ear infection. Caden is supposed to have his Dad's ears.
