Darrell took Ethan to his 4 month check-up yesterday. I was shocked to hear that he has a double ear infection... Poor little guy has been so fussy but I assumed it was teething and the cold he is having a hard time shaking. I guess I will have to pay more attention to the warning signs. Since he got shots he was miserable last night and today. He seemed to be feeling better when I picked him up, although he was bit clingy. Hopefully the medicine will start to take effect soon and he'll be back to his old self.
In other news though he is destined to be a little shrimp like his parents :) He weighed in at 16 lbs 5 oz which puts him in the 50th percentile.
Something funny happened the other night... I was changing Ethan on the couch and laid him over my lap with nothing but his diaper on. I have apparently never looked at my son's back before, because we realized he has a birthmark on his right shoulder blade. It's brown and a little oval shape, about an inch wide.
The new job is going great... I can't believe how blessed I am to have gotten the internship and then to actually like it too. So far I haven't done anything astoundingly exciting but I have started to get the general idea of what the flight I'm working in does, and it's all pretty interesting. Next week I'll be starting 9 days of Logistics training which I hope will give me even more to go on.
Oh, oh, there is more. Last wek we got an e-mail announcing that we were the winners of a trip for four to Universal Studios in Orlando. Airline tickets, Hotel, etc.... No really. It's not, as far as we can tell, a joke. SO sometime within the next year we should be taking a nice little vacation :) This is really exciting since we were hoping to get the the chance to take the kids to Florida but had decided this was not the year and we couldn't afford it.
Okay, Ethan was sleeping but I can hear him waking up now... which means it's time for mommy to go to bed.

Congratulations on the job and mommyhood, Cilla! I'm sorry he has an ear infection, but hopefully it will get better soon. Heaven knows the crazy weather we've been having can't be helpful.
