Our little Houston has just not been himself the last few weeks.  He has had a little cough, mostly at night, but other than that nothing has really given us a red flag on any illness. He has just been a little sadder and needing to be held more often than normal, especially when it's time to be sleeping.

 So we talked it over and decided since the next two weekends are really full and Fridays are really the only day it's convenient for me to go to town, being a one car family, that we should go ahead and take him in and get him checked out. It has been almost a month that he's been this way.

 

So we went to work with Matt on Friday and saw the Dr, and she said that little Houston had a really really bad ear infection. She asked if he had been pulling on his ear or had any discharge, but it was a no to both. She was really surprised at how pleasant he has been for us. I felt pretty bad and sorry for the little guy, that he had to put up with it for so long. I guess that is a down side to having such a happy baby, you don't really know when something's wrong.

 Hope you feel yourself again soon little Houston. 

oh, they weighed him at the Dr office and at 5.5 months Houston is 20Lbs 4oz.
