Weighing in

Between well baby visits we weigh Avery just to see how much he as physically grown. We strap him into his bucket and get a weight, then we do a little math to subtract the weight of the empty bucket and come up with his weight, usually we use a luggage scale, but being silly, we (Jon) used a deer scale in a friends garage (didn’t work too well, Avery was too light). 

Daddy & his little buck

Avery weighed in at 20 lbs 5oz which was confirmed at the doctors office yesterday (20lbs 7oz) when I took Avery in to have his ears looked at. He had been pulling at his ears and had a cough for over a week or so and I thought it would be good to just have him checked out. After charming all the ladies at the receptionist desk and in the waiting room it was a quick once over from the doctor, we discovered he has some congestion and both ears were red.  He doesn’t have official ear infections but with his other symptoms we were heading that way so the doc put him on an antibiotic. Hopefully after 10 days everything will be all cleared up.
