Trip to the ER and Curious Jo

Saturday night Josiah had his first Emergency Room visit. After crying for over 3 hrs (from about 12am to 3:30am)and being completely inconsolable we called our pediatrician and the on-call doctor recommended the ER. So we loaded up and drove to the hospital, on the way he fell asleep and once we got there he of course started acting like he was feeling a lot better (according to the ER nurses/dr. this is a normal phenomenon with kids). Nonetheless, just as we suspected, he had his first ear infection. They gave him some numbing ear drops, antibiotics, and motrin and we were discharged and home by a mere 7am!

Of course...we had to document his trip to the Er...

Digging through the diaper bag kept him briefly entertained...

or maybe he was just trying to get at that formula?!

This was after the numbing drops...but still...a charmer even at the ER! By the time we left all the nurses were making sure to get their goodbyes in.
Yesterday was rough but he slept like a champ last night...about 13.5 hrs and mommy and daddy were so grateful!

I've mentioned before how busy are boy is...did I mention curious too?! He is into everything these days and he is quick...I am talking it takes him .2 seconds to open the dishwasher (if it's unlatched) and crawl in! We have to watch him like a hawk and safety proof like maniacs...cause he finds anything we miss.

Can't leave the fridge open for a split second either...

This is in our bathroom, he has my necklace in his hand that he grabbed out of my jewelry drawer...he likes to drop my necklaces down into the tub.

I was trying to get a pic of him in his new convertible car seat but getting a pic of him when he is in arm's reach of the camera is almost impossible! So is trying to video him at all...he will stop what he is doing and attack the camera so that all that I end up getting on video is his mouth and grabbing hands!

At bathtime he is so ready to get in that he starts climbing up the step stool and side of tub...he'd dive in head first if we didn't stop him!

This is the bottom part of our ottoman...aka...Josiah's new hideout!

He keeps us on our toes! We love his zeal for life!

I almost forgot....he is pretty much walking now! He takes up to 8 steps at a time on his own without coaxing just playing by himself. It's going to be any day now that he is walking all over the place!
