Well, we made it to 16 months....

My poor little guy. Last week he had a cold and just when I thought he was getting over it, he got a fever. He had a fever on Saturday and Sunday. Then it went away but then he started not wanting to sleep or eat much. He would cry for about an hour before he would go to sleep; usually he goes right to sleep. Steven has always been a very good sleeper and napper, as well as a good eater. For the last few days he has asked to eat (he knows sign language), but then he would refuse to eat anything I'd give him. This is all very unusual behavior for my little angel. LOL I thought maybe it was just that he was missing his daddy or he was in a new stage? I didn't know. So I decided to take him in just to rule out any medical reason for his new behavior before I chalked it up to a behavioral problem. And it turns out that the poor guy has a double ear infection! The doctor said that it was not a very bad one but that he definitely did have an infection. If any of you family remember Richard difficulties when he was a child, we have always been concerned that Steven might inherit his daddy's ear troubles. Richard had very bad recurrent ear infections and even had to have tube s when he was a little boy. The doctor said that since Steven has made it this far and this was his first ear infection, he did not think that it was going to be a major problem like it was with Richard. Let's pray that he was right! Anyways, Steven is on antibiotics and Tylenol and he should be on the mend soon. :( My poor little bug!
