Molars and First Ear Infections



To say it has been a rough week would be an understatement.
Piper started getting up in the middle of the night screaming unconsolably.
For hours.
Then she wouldn't go to sleep. Wouldn't nap.
The child who doesn't want anyone near her when she falls asleep,
would only sleep on Daddy's chest. He loved the snuggles, but something was wrong.
Short fuzed and overtired we didn't know if it was the two to one nap transition, developmental, teething, or what.
I suspected an ear infection, but with no visible signs what do you do? So off to the Dr. we went.
Dr. Wheeler said it was bad. And we had an added bonus.
Her molars are coming in.
We are 24 hrs into meds and already seeing some improvements.
She's a tough cookie.

Before this week's storm hit we had a lovely day in the park last Sunday...















Walking Walking Walking
It's her preferred mode of transportation these days.



Aunt Amy sent some books that went a long way in making her feel a little better.

We let her open a few Easter things early to take her mind off the pain...
