The kids were pretty much horrible this weekend. Jake especially was just rather whiny & clingy, but they are one-year-olds, so occasional whining & misbehavior comes with the territory. Well, apparently there was more reason for it than that. We went to the pediatrician this morning for their 15-month well visit & were told that they both had double ear infections. Out of four little ears, we have four ouchy ones. Makes a little more sense now!
They have one dose of antibiotics in them, as well as some Tylenol, & seem to be improving already. Long naps are helping, too! Mallory's morning was particularly traumatic since she had to have lab work to check her iron levels, in addition to the four shots they both received. If you were anywhere in DFW today & heard a child screaming, it was most likely Mal. That girl does not do well with being poked & prodded!
We are especially grateful for Grammy today, who endured the super long & always adventurous trip to the pediatrician with us. Thank you!
Here's to happy babies on the horizon!

I love these photos. Jake and Mallory keep getting cuter!
Poor little ones! Hope they get better soon!
I hate those nasty ear infections! Poor babies!!
Aw, they are still so cute even when they are grumpy! Hope they feel better soon :)
Poor things! Although it stinks that they were sick, at least you found out that there was a reason for how they were acting. I'm glad they're feeling better. Thanks again for coming to visit us in the hospital and for bringing cookies. We all thoroughly enjoyed them!
Welcome to the wonderful world of ear infections! Hopefully they won't keep getting them, but at least now you know the signs if it happens again!
Oh, POOR BABIES! And poor Momma!! Hang in there, all four of you!
