Lauren and I went to a play date on Friday for downtown moms while they were moving my office at work, and one of the other moms posted this photo on Facebook, so I thought I would share since our home computer is still down for the count. We had quite a weekend; Sean and I had the stomach flu and Lauren's ears became so infected that it caused the doctor (when Sean took her in on Saturday) to exclaim "her eardrum's going to burst!" Not sure if it did or not, we haven't seen any fluid, but poor Lauren has been in a lot of pain. Aunt Arie was called in for backup. She called it "Arie's Day of Giving" (she'd been volunteering in Ottawa, KS when I made the frantic call for help).
The problem/beautiful thing about Lauren is that she's not a complainer. Unfortunately, that means she sometimes doesn't start complaining until her eardrum is about to burst vs. when she first gets the infection. But she's on antibiotics now and we're crossing our fingers that they'll work (sometimes they don't). This is ear infection number 7 or 8 for her...I've lost track. When other parents say that their kid has a "double" ear infection like it's some kind of big deal I'm like really? Is there anything but a double ear infection? Lauren likes to go all the way. No single ear infections for her.
Also: she crawled with her butt up this weekend! Like the real crawl that you think of when someone says their baby is crawling, vs. what Lauren was doing, which Sean liked to explain this way: "Imagine you were in a car accident and broke both of your legs. But you have to get away from the car because it's on fire and might explode. That's how Lauren crawls." But no more! Now she crawls like a big girl! OK, OK, she still car accident crawls sometimes. But she's getting there.
