Also Chase is army crawling all over the place. You put him down and away he goes. He has even figured out how to go from sitting to crawling. Let the baby proofing begin.
Now for the woes.....
Yes, it's true. The Frame household has apparently been cursed the past two weeks. It all starts with Chase. Chase got sick two Tuesdays ago. After pretty much holding him all night long, as he coughed all over me, I got sick the next day. For two days Chase and I had fevers. Then Craig caught it. So...after barely making it through each day, last Thursday, Craig & I both went in to the doctor as we both felt pretty crummy and were pretty sure we had ear infections?!?! Crazy. I have never had an ear infection as an adult, and never want to again, but I will be MUCH more sympathetic to my kids when they get their next ear infection. So the doctor results are, Me-Ear Infection & Sinus Infection....and Craig, he's the real winner in our duo, with TWO ear infections, sinus infection, upper respiratory infection, AND an eye infection (pink eye). So we get home from the doctors and are in our kitchen and Craig sees this SWARM OF BEES outside our window. We watch them hover around our window and roof and then within a few minutes they are gone.....only then Craig says, "What's that sound?" Yes. BEES. IN OUR STOVE VENT. This lovely swarm/colony of bees moved into our stove vent as their new home. So we call the "bee people" and they say to tape tin foil all around the stove vent to prevent any intruders in our home and they will be out in a couple of days. Nice.....So the tin foil is a nice touch to our cabiny home. Oh, it get's better. So this same day our furnace broke. So it has been 65 degrees for the past 4 days in our home and the furnace guy finally calls back and says he will be out at 4pm. So I go back to the thermostat for one more try and sure enough, the furnace kicks on. The guy still comes out but can't find anything wrong with it. Wait, I'm not finished. To top off our week-On Saturday we decided it was time to take Chase & Cole in to the pediatrician as Cole was developing pink eye and we figured since he had been so whiny the past few days he probably has an ear infection in combo with the pink eye...and since Chase started the whole thing we better get him checked too (if you are wondering about Haley she has been antibiotics during the past 3 weeks for an ear infection/pink eye too). So we head to the doctors on Saturday, to which the doctor checks Cole and Chase and says they are both fine. Cole has pink eye, but his ears are good. Good huh? Well, this morning he woke up (2 days after we took him in) and his ear was all bloody because his EARDRUM RUPTURED. The eardrum that ruptured is the ear that has a tube, in which the doctor looked into his ear for 1 second (Seriously. I am not exaggerating. He saw the tube and said, "Oh. There's the tube." and pulled the otoscope out.) I think he saw the tube and just didn't even look and assumed his ear was fine. Now, today, the pediatrician is trying to tell me this can happen. No ear infection to ruptured eardrum in under 2 days???? I'm not so sure. We are headed to the ENT tomorrow and we will see what he says.
On a lighter note. Did you know that I have a superman child? Yes. Chase is our superman. I had him in his exer-saucer and walked out of the room and walked back in 10 seconds later to find him literally flying in his exer-saucer. His binky had dropped and he was reaching over to see where it went...possibly trying to reach it. He reached so far that his little feet came off the ground and left him parallel to the floor. He did this twice in the same day. So...we decided it was time to raise his exer-saucer a little higher to prevent our little superman from really flying away...or falling to the floor.
