What a DAY!!!!!

Where do I start! Ok so Jagger has not been sleeping the last 3 nights and that is just not like him. The first night I just thought it was an off night, the next night I started to think something may be up and called the doctor. They said that it may be an ear infection and I could come in if I wanted but I told her I would wait and see how that night went, well it was AWFUL!! Bless his heart he just laid in his bed and cried and moaned. I woke up this morning and called the doctor first thing. They said "can you come in at 8:30", I said "PUT US DOWN!!" I went without a shower and barely any make-up thinking that I would be in and out!!! ha ha I am so cute!!!
Well we get there and they check him out and said he has a mild or the beginning of an ear infection in one ear. The other ear looked great. So she wrote me our prescription and just as I thought we were on our way out the door the doctor comes back in and says that she was to do some x-rays of his neck. He has always favored one side more then the other. The doc in Orlando said that is how he developed in the womb. As he has gotten older it has gotten better but she still noticed it. So she first tested his eyes to make sure that it wasn't his eyes. Meaning one being stronger then the other so he would tilt his head to over compensate. That test came back fine. So off we went for x-rays. Well 2 hours later (3 hours including the doctors visit) we were still waiting for the results which they told me that I would be in and out!! I finally told the lady I had to go and they could call with the results. Well I went to get his meds filled and meet Brian for lunch and they called and said they needed us to come back. They hadn't gotten a good enough picture. I almost passed out!! Not really but I told Brian that I felt like crying!! I forgot to mention that I am sick as well and b/c Jaggs hasn't slept in 3 days neither have I!!
So back to the Imaging Center we go. They got us back there immediately and as soon as we were done the lady told me to wait right were I was she was getting a doc to look at them right then!! The results came back negative. They were looking for abnormalities in the neck and spine but all of that is fine, however, Jagger will have to have physical therapy!! AN 8 MONTH OLD!!! that is going to be a sight right there!! Wish us luck!!
After all of that we finally got home and I thought that Jaggs would be so tired so I tried to lay him down and about 5 minutes later I heard him making noises and this is what I find.....



Before nap, I thought he was asleep. This is so new for him!!
He is usually asleep within minutes of being put down!!


This is about 15 minutes later!
Notice he uses his bumper for a pillow!

After the nap! I hear him laughing!


He is definitely pulling up which the doctor was so impressed and said that is usually a 9 month old thing!! He may have a bad neck but he is advancing!! :) She was also very glad that he has gone this long without an ear infection. I felt terrible but she thinks that it is great!!

OH man, what a crazy day! He did all that and sitll wasn't up for his nap! Crazy!

I guess I'm one to talk. I put mine down an hour ago and he's still in there talking and singing to himself... no clue what's up with that. They are always keeping us on our toes, aren't they! :)

No biggie with the therapy... Noah's been receiving it since he was 6 months old! We are actually receiving it in Huntsville 1 x week.
