Watching “the killers” tonight on SNL again reminded me how much we are in a loop on audio (and fashion…but thats another post). The Whiny neo-euro-sound (is that emo?) is back again, but not in the Cure kind of way. The keyboards, flashy duran-duran outfits, ugh. Already tired of it.
And to the youth of today – Cut yer hair. Looking like Shaggy from scooby doo is not cool. It is possible to have longish hair and be stylish, but come on. $12 for a haircut is worth it.

Sean did very well last night. I put him down around 8pm last night and he slept for an hour before getting restless. I decided that instead of fighting it, I just brought him downstairs and let him sleep on me while I watched the season opener of Heroes (Sylar is what??). I put him back in his crib around midnight and went to bed myself.
I did not give him a pacifier last night, as I wanted to see if he could sleep without one. I also thought that was part of why he was throwing up – with the extra snot production going on with his ear infection, the slurping on the pacifier was sending it right to his tummy, making him sick.
He did really well with that actually. He woke up a few times from coughing, but seemed to be okay after I held him for a few minutes to put him back to sleep. He actually slept until 7 or 715, which is a first for a few days.
Needless to say, I am exhausted, and kind of feel like I may be coming down with a cold. Time to head home and go to bed.

As emily stated previously, Sean has another ear infection. The last few nights he has been throwing up in the middle of the night and yesterday he was awfully tired, and took quite a few naps. He gooey eye was worse of the weekend and his eye that was fien started to goo a little (these are professional medical terms, people). Last night was *really* rough for me. Emily had to leave for a school training in Lexington in the wee hours of the morning, so I had to tend to Sean. It was a very restless night last night and I finally got him to bed around 430 or 5am after he “slept” on my chest for a few hours. I even missed my alarm this morning and wa a tad late getting to work!
I really hope tonight is better…however I’m doubting it. I’m flying solo tonight, as Em won’t return until tomorrow night. Good thing we just bought a 12 pack of redbull…
Thanks to Diana for picking him up @ daycare today to get him into the doctor’s office. I think maybe his first ear infection never fully cleared up. He got some more powerful meds this time around. The doc said his gooey eyes were caused by the same bacteria/virus thing.

Why do people waste my time with a phone call when we have a nice instant messaging package for use in our office? I get so many phone calls that are simple one answer, close ended questions, when the person could quite simply double click my name, ask the questions, and receive an answer. Its mostly people who don’t work in our local office, so they waste long distance time too!

We have to start putting gates up now…he’s having a ball trying to climb up the stairs in the house! I do admit, I think it’s really cute to see him do it, so I do encourage it when I’m right there with him, but we’ll have to get those gates at the bottom of the stairs this weekend so he can’t do it without me. Unfortunately, we have wood floors at the base of one side of the steps, and tile on the other; neither of which feel very good to bonk your head on. 🙂
In other feats of physicality, Sean has officially learned to go from tummy to sitting! We’ve only seen him do it once, but that’s all it takes for him to do it more often!
Also, his new favorite thing is to watch Megabyte eat dinner. He cracks up laughing at her while she crunches and chews her food; probably has something to do with the noise and her teeth showing while she’s crunching. We stood in the kitchen for about 10 minutes tonight watching her eat while he was cracking up hysterically. Cute stuff.

Sean is saying “baba” and “dada” now! A few weeks ago, he started babbling a lot, saying va, ba, and da, but not towards anything specific. About a week ago, he looked at his bottle and reached his hand toward it and said “baba!” Now, he’ll say “baba” when he’s hungry and say it over and over again while you are making it 🙂
During our closing last Thursday Paul and I were passing Sean back and forth entertaining him. When I was holding him, he reached over to Paul and said “Dada!” We couldn’t believe it! He’s done that a few more times, looking right at Paul. So cute!
Now we just need him to say Mama so it’s fair! 🙂
