Another ear infection :(

After a 3 + month stretch of having good ears, it was due time for the bug-a-boo to have an ear infection. Following a late night doctor run, Brecken was officially diagnosed with what feels like his 700th ear infection :( Booooo. His fever seems to now be under control and he had a great day (mostly with Daddy as it is hard for Mommy to get a sub). His ear seems to be bothering him tonight a little, as he was irritable after dinner and he was pulling at it.... With every other ear infection he's had, it has ended with a rupture and we would love for that to change with this one. Hopefully his antibiotic will kick in before the rupture! He's still working on his molar too, which isn't a bit of fun, but he's hanging in there!

When I got home from work I couldn't find Eric & B anywhere, so finally wandered out to the deck to find them playing on B's climber in the backyard. Our big boy can go down the slide all by himself?! Who knew!! That said, we are always VERY close by as he has a tendency to lean too forward and do the occasional face plants.

One of B's favorite toys right now. It's actually quite cool. There is a mailbox that opens and you can slip special envelopes inside, a doorbell that rings, a light switch to turn the light off/ on... Brecken especially loves opening/ closing the door and crawling through the doorway!

Climbing up...

Look at me mom!

Ready to rock!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So fun :)

Driving the ship...

Towards the end of his playtime, he must have been really impressed with himself as he kept clapping at every little thing he did. I love it when he claps for himself :)

Checking out Mommy's garden... Look, things are actually growing!

When we weren't looking, he took off towards his sandbox and started taking the lid off. While he loved playing, he did NOT love it when we put the lid back on and told him it was time to go inside. Can we say temper tantrum??
