6 ear infections...and what do you get?

TUBES! Yes Isaac finally will get tubes for his ears. For some reason the fluid builds up in his ears, never drains, gets infected, antibiotics kill the infection, but the fluid never goes away. Thus, we continue to multiple infections, both ears, ALL THE TIME! So needless to say I am kind of excited for his littler surgery on Tuesday. Maybe he will actually be able to sleep at night (please keep all fingers crossed)! And maybe he won't be in constant pain, although he is a pretty happy baby. Here's to hoping the surgery goes 100% perfect and that this works. The really fun part will be the night before his surgery. He can't eat after midnight, and as of right of the last two days he has woken up twice a night to eat! It will be one LONG night!

Getting ready for a walk!

Natali dressed in boy clothes (she had barfed earlier that day at a friends house...sorry about that again) and as usually dressed in one of her princess outfits. The hat totally goes don't you think? Hopefully she will gain a little more fashion sense as she gets older :) But for now I think the smile says it all! Life is good!

Crawler

For some time now Isaac has been getting up on his hands and knees and rocking, but today was different. Our little guy crawled! He had a few different techniques but in the end he did the whole up on your hands and knees moving forward crawling! We cheered and clapped and Natali was so proud of her baby brother :). It was cute. We need to get out the camcorder and get the kid in action. He also had his 9 month wellness check. He is 20lbs 12oz (50%), 28.5 inches (50%), and 18.5 head cir. (90%). Our little chunky monkey is not so chunky anymore! But not to worry he still has his cheeks. He had another double earinfection (I spent part of mothers day in the walk in clinic). I think this is number 6 or 7. We are holding off on tubes right now (doctors request) but we might have too if they continue even in the summer. Boo for ear infections, but yeah for a growing baby boy!

9 Months

Here is Isaac's 9 month photo. What a cute boy...if I do say so myself. I will post his "stats" when we have is 9 month check-up. He is cutting his two bottom teeth, sitting up, rocking on his hands and knees (occassionaly), and is still the sweetest baby boy in the world!
