Mid-week updates

I've decided I'm just going to do frequent quickie posts so I don't get so far behind.

Elliot can do high-fives now, though he doesn't quite have the slapping part down, he'll raise his hand and sort of gently touch yours with fingers slightly curled. Very cute!

He has another ear infection and once again we have to take 10 days of that awful Augmentin that he hates and throws up as often as not. But I guess it could be worse, we spent a big chunk of today in the doctor's office and he had to get a chest x-ray while being immobilized in this contraption I can't even describe, and then he had a 5-minute nebulizer of albuterol. Nebulizers are these things that turn medicine that would normally be in an inhaler into mist that you can breathe in. But he had to have it through a mask and it was just traumatic. For both of us. At least we don't have to do that every day.

Finally, I think (though Brendan disagrees) that Elliot said his first word ("head") today. I'll try to flesh out the details later but right now it's Elliot's bedtime so I must run!
