Is our baby tipsy, or is it just me?

So, it was a great Friday morning—normal routine; wake up, cuddle, breakfast, gym (baby gym). After the gym we had to go to Scottsdale on a work related errand. During our drive, Braylon was crying harsher than normal. After a few minutes, he went off to sleep so I just assumed he was “overly tired”. He woke up and I was in the back seat and he looked at me with the strangest look…almost as if he was really out of it, and lethargic. Once again, figured he was tired. A few hours go by and we are finally done with our errands and meetings, yes the joys of “KC Property Group” field work. So, like always we stop off for a bite of lunch. We put Bray in the highchair to eat and he is starts swaying back and forth and not able to keep his balance. I grew quite concerned and David thought he was just “dizzy from barely waking up”…Well, after lunch we went to the mall to play, we put him down in the play place and he wouldn’t crawl. Then when he finally started to crawl, he fell right over on his side. I immediately picked him up and called the doctor, I knew something was just not right. Thank God for a great pediatric office, we were seen within a half hour. Turned out poor kiddo had double ear infections! He was started on amoxicillin and was well within just a few days. So sad when these babies can’t tell you when something is wrong. I am so thankful that God gave us a sign and we were able to get him seen. Just a week prior when we took him for his 9 month checkup a 3 year old was getting admitted to the hospital because of a double ear infection! So scary!
