A Cold & Ear Infection?!

Poor baby! Dawson caught a cold a little over a week ago and he just now is about over it. He had a rough week of coughing and a runny, runny nose. To top it all off when I called the doctor to ask about his cold they had us come in for a visit...turns out he has a slight ear infection in one of his ears. He has to take antibiotics for 10 days, then go back to the doctor in 3 weeks to make sure it's better.

Luckily Dawson doesn't mind taking his antibiotics at all-it tastes like bubble gum.

I know it's bad, but since Dawson's been sick he usually ends up in our bed at night. The doctor said it's hard for babies to sleep when they have an ear infection and I just don't have the heart to listen to him cry when he's so stuffed up. Soon he will be back in his crib all night but for now I'm going to enjoy being able to comfort and cuddle him.
