16 Months Old

This past month has been pretty rough for Cooper.  His double ear infection won't go away.  After two rounds of the best oral antibiotics, he had three antibiotic shots and still no luck.  Both ears are really bad and it's obvious that he doesn't feel well.  We are going to a specialist today.  Tubes seem to be in his future.  I just hope and pray he won't have to be in pain much longer!
 Despite that, he still is happy a lot of the time.  Laughing, wreaking havoc on the house, and throwing things.  Unfortunately, food is one of the things he's good at throwing.  Perhaps it's the pain in his ears, or his teething, but my good eater has turned into a horrible one!  If it were up to him, he'd live on a diet of grapes and graham crackers!  I guess not that abnormal for a 1 year old...
Last month, he thought every animal said "baaa", now he can make the sounds for a sheep, cow, horse, fish, bunny, and sometimes makes cute bird tweets.  I think he can bark for a dog too, but it still sounds like an angry sheep!  Cooper makes me happy.  Makes me tired.  Makes me smile.  I am looking forward to the day he is well again.

Thinking of you! I hope the tubes do help and really it might help him start eating better again too
