Poor Sick Little Guy :(

I left town for a quick road trip this past Saturday and came home to a drastically different little man. It appears Miles is suffering from his third installment of ear infections since birth. No symptoms besides a fever in conjunction with a lot of whining, sleeping and cuddling (much to Matt's delight). He has co-slept in the bed with us several times which is certainly not his usual preference. His normal schedule is up in the air since he refuses to eat regular food, only carrying around his sippy cup the majority of the day.
There are good and bad points to nursing a sick baby. The good is that you have a warm, sweet, cuddly little guy who will let you rock him and will fall asleep on you pretty much anytime and anywhere. The downside is that...well, you have a sick baby. There's not much you can do other than give them medicine and try to make them more comfortable.
The good news is that Miles was doing much better last night (after a round of antibiotics) and was walking around babbling, playing a little and even sampling some meat loaf with scalloped potatoes! Fingers crossed that today is even better and that collectively we can kick this ear infection in its ass, if in fact it has an ass. ;)

Not feeling too great

Consensus: ear infections SUCK!!
