Ear Troubles AGAIN!

Yes, behind this sweet smile is yet another ear infection! We suspected something when she couldn't quit tugging on her left ear. The funny thing is that the infection is in the right one! The doctor says it is due to her second tooth that is coming in, which creates fluid to build up. He also said that ear issues run in the family and Levon claims to have had tons of ear infections as a child. Thankfully, the new medicine is stronger, which means I have a smaller dose to force down her throat! That sounds horrible, but that is exactly what I have to do! She does NOT take it willingly. She has been extra grouchy lately, and the tooth and ear explain that.

Jocelyn is attemting to crawl all day, but still falling on her belly. She is getting so frustrated!

She waves "bye bye" all of the time now, even to strangers a couple of times. Aunt Brooke painted her toenails and she has been wearing her spring outfits and spending more time in the sun!

She weighs 20 lb. 12 ounes now and Daddy had to install her new carseat since she is almost too heavy for her infat seat. For those of you who haven't installed a carseat, at least in an older model car.. it is the most stressful thing you will do. Levon and I get so frustrated because he works so hard to get it right and I check it and it isn't tight enough so he has to do it over and over. It is something you have to get just right or you won't feel like your child is safe so it can be such a stressful thing! I saved all of my Babies R Us giftcards from my showers and when Jocelyn was born and was able to get a really nice one!

Here is Jocelyn and Jason having a moment...

Oh, I couldn't end this without saying something about the earthquake!! Jocelyn and I were home alone, Levon was out of town, and I thought it was a tornado about to take our house up! I grabbed Jocelyn and jumped in our walk-in closet. This is actually the wrong place to go in an earthquake, so next time I will evaluate the situation a little more before reacting! I'm still so thankful to God for keeping us safe.. it was really scary feeling that vulnerable, thinking that you can't protect your child- that it is out of your control. I'm glad it wasn't as serious of a situation as I thought, but I hope Levon is home with us the next time something like that happens!!
