Our big boys!

Kellan turned six months old on May 9. On May 19, Justin and I both took the day off and we took Kellan to the pediatrician for his well-baby visit. He is 27 1/2 inches "tall" and weighs 20 lbs. 8 oz. He has exactly doubled his birth weight. Good thing we bought him a carseat that goes up to 32 lb/32 in. a couple of months ago! He also had a bit of a cold, so we got some medicine for that.

Also on May 19, Logan had two appointments. The first was at 10:30 with his dentist. Logan was such a big, brave boy -- Justin said "see ya" and Logan went back for his cleaning all by himself with no resistance! We were so proud of him. And no cavities this time -- yay!

Logan's 2nd appointment was at 4:00 with his ear doctor. We went two months ago and one of his ear tubes was working its way out. This time it was completely out and sitting in the ear canal in some earwax. So the doc and Justin took Logan to a separate room where the doc used a hook-like tool to get the tube out. I'm so glad I didn't have to witness that! Justin said that Logan started to scream/cry, but it was over before he could really get worked up. Again, so brave! The doc told him he deserved all the stickers (they give out stickers instead of candy or suckers)! The doc also noticed that Logan's tonsils were inflamed, so he gave him antibiotics for that. He had been coughing for a few days prior to the appointment, so we were thankful that he would be seeing the ENT to figure out why. Kinda made me feel bad that we sent him to the dentist like that. I almost called to let them know, but what could they really do? (Other than blame us for someone else's illness!)

And, later that same evening, I developed a soar throat and low-grade fever. So off to the doc for me on Wednesday, antiobiotics, and I finally made it back to work on Friday. Just in time for the three-day weekend. :-) Then Justin got sick with some kind of stomach bug on Friday, and Kellan broke out in hives, probably as a reaction either to his immunizations or to the antibiotics I'm taking. Luckily that mostly cleared up by Saturday. Needless to say, we haven't been the most fun family to be around lately!
