Cranky

We took Lucas to the doctor this week because he was being really cranky and was pulling on his ear. Thankfully he doesn't have an ear infection. The doctor said that there is a nerve that gets inflamed when babies are teething that runs right below the ear and will cause babies to pull on their ear since it hurts. I thought it was too good to be true how well Lucas had handled his 3 teeth coming in at once. Apparently the breaking through wasn't nearly as bad for him as the dropping of the teeth. The pain is causing him to wake up every 1-2 hours at night, so we have been giving him a lot of Tylenol and it's working.

Lucas weighed in at 21.5 lbs this week a whole 1.5 lbs more than a month ago. He seems to be getting taller too since many of his pants are getting too short. He is getting brave now and has taken a few steps by himself. Nothing regular more of a he forgot he needs someone to hold his hands when he walks. He is also trying to climb the stairs and has made it to step number 2. He is trying climb on a lot of things. He hikes his leg up trying to climb into the bath tub, dishwasher door, oven drawer, toys, etc. We're in trouble :)
