ear infections and other things.

on wednesday of last week i called the peds office to schedule hazel's shots and then added, "and to have the doctor look in her ears, too.... just to make sure she doesn't have an infection."  and when saturday and sunday night were completely horrible, i still thought it might be teething pain.  but yesterday when the doctor looked in her ears all the mysteries were solved.  yes, she is teething, yes, we are weaning, and yes, she has a double ear infection.

so remember last week when i said we've been having a hard time over here?  well, now i know why.  but we've snuggled and hugged and watched lots of baby einstein together, so things aren't half bad!

hazel now kisses me on a regular basis, unsolicited, throughout the day.  i almost wonder sometimes if she is saying thank you or please through her kisses, since they often seem to be correlated with her wanting or receiving something....

we still don't know where we are going to be this coming june for the next year of our lives. so STOP ASKING, PEOPLE.  we will sound the trumpet when we know.  we will announce on every form of social media i can imagine.  i promise.

over the weekend, we watched gravity.  which was a great idea.  because i didn't have enough terrifying things to have nightmares about.

have you ever had homemade bread with nutella and strawberries on top of it?  life changing.
