You're big, dude!

So, on New Years' Eve, L started to really tug on his right ear, and he had this weird cough, and was still pretty snuffly. He also started tugging on his left ear every once and a while. So we thought with January 1 being a holiday, we better get him checked out. When the nurse weighed him, he tipped the scales at 16 pounds even! Holy moly--and not even quite 4 months! And the first thing the doctor said when he walked in the room was "You're big, dude!" Then L got a clean bill of health, probably just a cold, no wax build up or an infection. Though the idea of him teething did come up (please, G-d no!! Not yet!). But now I'm pretty down and out with a cold, and L seems to be a bit more on the mend.

MLA update: I was underprepared for my interview (given the time constraints with the CO leak, I did the best that I could, but I managed to be pretty dazy b/c L nursed every 2 hours the night before I interviewed -- I seriously couldn't remember the names of Hawthorne or Poe as authors who I might teach in a 19th century class). Jim, on the other hand, had over prepared and talked for too long. L also got to meet some of our IC buds, Stacy, Nicki, and Scott; which was super great. Hopefully, when I start to feel better I'll upload some more pictures.
