Ian's First Ear Infection

Our visit to the doctor today revealed that Ian has an ear infection in one ear. Both my hubby and I used to get frequent ear infections as children. Eventually I had ear tubes put in and my tonsils taken out, which seemed to clear up the problem. Besides that, Ian is doing well and now weighs 26 pounds and is 31 inches tall. Amazingly, these are almost the same as Levi's stats at one year.

God's Timing

God's timing is perfect. If this hadn't been leap year, Ian would've gotten his first high fever (103.3) right on his birthday. We might've had to cancel his party anyway. As it happened, we got to celebrate the little guy's birthday at home and now he has a week to recover before the big party. And guess what other little miracle God worked for us? Ian already has a doctor's appointment for tomorrow morning! It was supposed to be his one-year well-check and I scheduled it three months ago but now it is a sick baby visit.
