Just a thought...

Maybe the crying in the pictures below (from Jackson's first birthday) are really due to his newly found ear infection!!! Are you kidding me?! What kind of a mom doesn't realize her child has an ear infection and then finds out at not one, not two, but THREE well-baby visits?! That's right folks, this child must tolerate pain well because this was the third well-baby visit we've been to that he's been diagnosed with an ear infection (well, once it was a double!). He really never shows any symptoms other than not sleeping through the night on a regular basis. Other than that, he checked out just fine yesterday! He's slowed down a bit on the growth chart (well his head hasn't :) He's 90-95th percentile for head circumference, 50th percentile for height, and just the 10th percentile for weight (just under 20lbs). He is now forward facing in his carseat which is so much more comfortable for him (and easier to get him in/out. I've also been weaning him and getting ready to start whole milk as soon as our free stock of formula runs dry.
