It Hurts

I have my first ear infection in my left ear and my right ear has a bunch of wax. Dr. Putnam just confirmed what mommy has been saying since I started crying at bedtime last night. I had some clear stuff come out of my ear, can't sleep, and am fussy. At least now mommy knows I haven't been faking the last few days of fussiness. Mommy is taking good care of me and keeping me in the sling. Now that I have some medication, I might finally get some good sleep for the first time since 8pm last night. Mommy's gonna have to hold me though. I might not even let her pack for our trip.

Leaves

I love leaves. When I was really little I got fussy a few times and mommy couldn't calm me down. She took me outside and I looked at the leaves on the trees and I was happy. Daddy said at that point that I was going to like being outside. Well it hasn't stopped! I am enjoying the fall leaves that are all soon to fall, leaving us with just evergreens. Mommy is a bit worried and asked me what are we going to do without leaves on the trees. This winter will be my first experience not having rustling leaves to listen to and look at. I think that when my first birthday rolls around the leaves will become like a new experience again!

I was a hot dog for Halloween and quite enjoyed the warm costume on the "chili" (ha, ha) night. Nanny was here and I really enjoyed getting some time with her. She is so much fun!
