Charlie has his first ear infection. After a week of dealing with his cold symptoms that just never got better, I took him to the doctor on Saturday. Sure enough, despite lacking the more obvious symptoms of an ear infection (fever, pulling at his ear), he had one. He's doing well so far, since getting on the antibiotics. He's still waking up some in the middle of the night, but he'll take a bottle then and go back to sleep, instead of just screaming in discomfort from his coughing.
Charlie also had his first trip in the child seat of a shopping cart on Saturday, and two more on Sunday. We used the neat seat cover that Grandma Knepper gave us for Christmas. Charlie loved going to the grocery store-- so many colorful things (and other kids!) to look at. I also took him to Babies R Us to buy a new carseat. We had confirmed his weight at the doctor's office on Saturday morning, and sure enough, he's too big to be using the other one anymore.
Charlie enjoyed his first Superbowl yesterday, also. I'm not sure he knew what to make of the older boys playing with his toys, but he had his first dose of the Mike Ruthemeyer "kid treatment" and seemed to enjoy that.
Less than 2 weeks until Uncle Rory and Aunt Taylor come to visit. I'm sure Charlie will have lots of fun with that!
