EAR-Y situation

The Wild Thing went to the doctor last Tuesday for a follow up appointment for his ears. He was beginning to show signs of another ear infection. He typically starts waking up at night and begins to eat less than his big brother. Then the fever hits followed by the great kennel cough of 2010. Last week his ears were clear so I thanked the Dr. and said we'll see ya next week. Twice before he's had clear ears diagnosed that quickly turned into ear infections. The cough worsened yesterday so I took him in this morning. In seven days he went from clear ears to a double ear infection. That makes six rounds of bug treating drugs since November with three of those treating doubles. (That's 60 days of Antibiotics over the past 120 days for those of you wondering.) I'd say he's earned the right to join the Totally Tubular Ear Club. We find out when that happens this afternoon.
In the mean time, Wild Thing still tries to climb over the couch and scare the day lights out of me. I pulled him off the top of the couch twice yesterday. Bad ears and all, he's everywhere. He's still not a big talker because he prefers to grunt and that seems to get him what he wants. He says mama, dada, and bye bye. He knows EXACTLY what you are saying to him and can throw an impressive fit over the word NO. He points to whatever he wants and then turns his palm up waiting for you to place whatever it is he wants in his hand. Then he grunts and grunts again.

It's his call of the wild and he's talking to you. :)
The great thing about having a Wild Thing is the greeting. Wild Things run at you full force with all 20lbs 8ozs as you walk through the door. It usually looks something like this.

**Note to self: start using the camera again. It's been a month since these pictures were taken.
