Rough times

I wish I could tell you things have been good here, but we've had a rough couple of weeks. My first ever ear infection turned into a month-long one. I went back to see Dr. Nechyba a couple of weeks ago and he gave me another antibiotic that seemed like it was working. About a week after I stopped taking my medicine, my ear started hurting again and I was fussy, especially at night. Mommy took me back to the doctor and I got to see the very nice Physician's Assistant, Jennifer. She told me my ear still looked bad and put me on a very strong medicine. I had to go back on Monday to make sure the medicine was working and it wasn't, so I had to have SHOTS. I was brave and I tried not to cry, but they hurt so much. I had to have one every day for three days. The good news is my ear infection is much better now and I'm feeling like my old self.

Last Tuesday I also took a little tumble. I didn't know I could fit through the banister upstairs and I fell about four feet to the step below. I skinned my head and it scared me alot, but thank goodness I didn't get hurt. Mommy and Daddy called Dr. Nechyba and he told them to wake me up after I'd been asleep for a couple hours. Now I've always liked that Dr. Nechyba, but that made me mad. I finally fell back asleep about an hour later. The next morning I was going to get my shot anyway, so I got to see Jennifer again at the doctor's office. She checked me out and said I was okay.

Also my Mamaw Beulah has been very sick in the hospital. She started feeling a little better, but she's not doing good at all right now. Mommy, Daddy and I love her so much and we just want to be with her right now. Please say prayers for her and for my family.

We are headed to Asheville tomorrow for Thanksgiving. We will be coming back on Friday so we can get ready for my birthday party on Sunday. Mommy and Daddy can't believe I'm already a year old!

Evan walks

This is Evan's mom...I wanted to post this video of him walking for everyone to see. He does great until he faceplants at the end of his trip.

Sorry

I've been doing a very bad job keeping you guys up to date on what's going on with me. It's been a whole month since I last posted!!

Since then, I've gone to another Wolfpack football game (they lost this time though) and took a road trip to Georgia for a family reunion and wedding. Guess what? My mommy was sick and my Aunt Christy had been in the hospital, so Daddy took me all by himself. I loved getting to see my Grandmama and all of my aunts, uncles and cousins. I went to my cousin, Lauryn's wedding. It was the first time I had ever seen two people get married. She sure looked beautiful and I was glad I got to meet Molly Evan.

The next weekend, I visited Asheville for my Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark's baby showers. I got to see lots of my family and friends there and boy did I get alot of kisses. On Sunday I was dedicated at the church where my mommy grew up. My Gramma and Grampa came up from Mooresville, my Mamaw Helen, Aunt Terry, Aunt Brenda and Caleb came from Haywood County and my Aunt Sharon, Uncle Jeff, Sean and Jenna made it too. I was very excited to see my Uncle Mark's mom and dad there. They are very special to me.

When I got home I didn't feel good and I was running a fever, so Mommy and Daddy took me to see Dr. Nechyba. He said I had an ear infection and gave me some yummy tasting medicine. We went back a few days later to make sure the medicine was working and it was, but very slowly. I still felt bad the next week and I was running a fever again, so I changed to a different medicine. It was yummy too and I feel much better.

Mommy had to take Aunt Christy to the doctor on Wednesday this past week, so I got to stay with my Nana B and Granddaddy. Aunt Christy has been very sick. She's passed out a couple of times and been in and out of the emergency room. She hasn't been able to go to work (which I love, but I don't think she does) because she's light headed and dizzy. She's had alot of doctors visits lately and she is tired of not feeling good. Please say prayers that she feels better and that my baby cousin continues to be okay. Also pray for Mark because sometimes my Aunt Christy cries alot. Mommy says that has to do with her having a baby in her tummy, but I say I've never seen a grown up cry more than me!

Lastly, I got to go trick-or-treating for the first time last week. I dressed up as a monkey and went knocking on my neighbors' doors and they gave me candy. My Nana C, Nana B, Granddaddy, Uncle Mark and Aunt Christy came over to watch me get dressed and to have dinner with us. On Saturday, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark went to Virginia to see Carol and Louis get married. I stayed with my Nana C while they were gone and had a great time. When they got back on Sunday I surprised them by walking all by myself that afternoon. I can take six, seven or sometimes more steps before I get tired and have to sit down. I'm such a big boy!!

I'll try to do better about posting this month! Before I go, I'll say Happy Birthday to my friend, Holden, who turned 5 today and Happy Anniversary to my Mommy and Daddy. They were married 8 years ago today!!!
