Sick Boy. And Tired Parents.

Cooper did not sleep well last night. So Mommy and I didn't sleep much either. Micole took off the day to take him to the doctor and I took off the day to take care of both of them (and get a little sleep).

He has an ear infection. The doctor told Micole that it was a good thing that she brought him in or we would have had another sleepless night. The doctor prescribed amoxycillin. We know what it's like. Both Micole and I had bad ear infections as children, requiring both of us to have tubes in our ears. I even have some minor hearing loss from my ear infections.

Cooper seems to go in and out of fussiness. Sometimes he doesn't seem bothered at all and other times everything bothers him. He's even played a little in his Exersaucer this afternoon. I tried to put him down for a nap in his crib with no luck. Each time he would be crying within a couple of minutes, if not seconds.

It's such a nice day too, with Katrina dumping the Atlantic Ocean all over us. Plus there's a chemical leak outside of downtown Cincinnati that's causing lots of traffic detours.

One thing to note in Cooper's development: He is sitting up on his own, though he can't hold it for too long. He sat up in his chair to grab a shopping bag and after about 10 seconds or so he rolled right out of the chair onto the floor. He didn't like that.

He really wants that bag.

:-( Sorry to hear about the ear infection...hope Tylenol can bring some relief

Hate it when they get ear infections! Eating/drinking and sucking on a pacifier can all make the pain worse, so if he's crabby at meal/bottle time, try to schedule the tylenol about 30 minutes before. Hope that helps!
