Upward Mobility

Charlie is now pulling himself up to standing on a regular basis, and can stay there for a pretty long time, as long as he's holding on to something steady. He continues to crawl all over, and his favorite target is Lucy's water bowl (of course!) Any shoes with laces, and fluffy scarves are also fair game.

On Tuesday we had a "snow day"-- Charlie's daycare was closed due to the icy and snowy weather. We took the opportunity to take him back to the doctor, because his cough had returned after switching to the second antibiotic for the ear infection, and he had started wheezing pretty badly. The ear infection was still present, so they switched him to yet another, stronger antibiotic, and suggested we use Charlie's breathing machine a few times a day for the wheeze.

After a couple of days of the new medicine, Charlie does seem to be feeling much better. Yesterday he drank all of his bottles at daycare, which is a vast improvement. He still tugs at one ear occasionally, but he's sleeping better, and seems happy and himself.

Rory and Taylor arrived with no issues yesterday afternoon. Lucy is thrilled to have company, especially since they're "dog people." Charlie wasn't sure what to make of 4 people coming to pick him up at daycare (instead of just one), but he has adjusted quickly, and has already shown Taylor how he laughs.
