Harrison had his first Halloween! We went to Batesville that weekend & took Harrison to the Scare on the Square Saturday morning to show off his cute costume! Then he was supposed to go trick-or-treating at some friends & family but his costume was too hot so he just visited.
Our daycare takes all the kids trick-or-treating in the hospital. Since Harrison is too young, his class had a "party" with puffs, juice & cupcakes. About an hour before the party, his teacher called me to tell me he had fever. So we packed up & went to the doctor. Yes, you guessed it.... another ear infection & he had to miss his party! It had only been 2 weeks since he had 3 rocephin shots in 3 days that were supposed to clear his ears. Our doctor referred us to an ENT for tubes. The doctor we were referred to was not able to see Harrison until November 16! I got on the phone & referred Harrison to a different doctor who could see us the next day. Dr. Fulcher said his ears were pretty bad & asked if we were interested in tubes, we could have a few days to think about it. Since Harrison has pretty much been on antibiotics since he was about 4 months old, Brian & I looked at each other, then the doctor & said we want tubes! Harrison was scheduled to have tubes today. We went in this morning, his tubes were over in about 20 minutes & after a morning nap, he has played all afternoon. He wasn't even really that bad coming off anesthesia. His pacifier & juice cup comforted him well (along with his mama rocking him). Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.

at our church's Trunk or Treat with Ella & Parker. These boys are 13 days apart, both were grumpy at their first Trunk or Treat but they loved their graham crackers they got instead of candy! Ella was definitely glad for the candy!

Maroon Friday; this kid loves that dog! When we tell him to call Finn, he goes straight to the window & howls - it is so cute!
Apparently, Harrison loves to look out the windows. This picture makes me think of Beyonce's single ladies video...
he is such a clean eater

In good news, the continuous ear infections have not had an impact on proper weight gain. Harrison now weighs over 21 pounds, still wearing a size 3 diaper, has moved all the way into 12 month clothes & is wearing 18 month sizes in one piece outfits, still no teeth but amazingly he is waking up now with morning breath (maybe it's the whole milk??) Hopefully these tubes will keep us from having many more ear infections.
