Martin went in for his 18 month check-up on Thursday. He was such a trooper. He weighs 25 lbs and is almost 34 inches tall. While the doctor was doing her routine exam, she discovered that Martin had ear infections in both ears. The left one much worse than the right. I was surprised that he wasn't tugging at his ears, so I was caught off-guard by this news. Poor guy gets another 10 days of antibiotics plus another trip to the pediatricians office in 3 weeks. Already with 2 days worth of medicine in him, he seems to be doing better.
We have also moved him into a toddler bed. He definitely likes it way better than the crib. Now he can get up and play when he wants. Last night was a bit difficult for him and so I opted to put him in his crib to keep him contained. After 10 minutes of crying/screaming I went to check on him and found that he dumped his blankets overboard and climbed out of the crib (something he has never done before) climbed into him toddler bed and was sitting there crying. It was so sad, yet so funny all at the same time. He has also learned to open doors since this new transition. Yes, we do have locks on the outside of the door to keep him contained in his room. It's amazing to me how much he is learning and accomplishing every day. I think it's cause he wants to keep up with his sister.

aw... i love the toddler bed story. those moments when they're crying, but it's just so funny that you have to smile a bit, are the best! :) and 34 inches for only 18 months old is really tall, isn't it?!
Ahh, what a cute picture of him. I'm sorry he isn't feeling well and a double ear infection is awful. I think Carson has those same pj's but they're thermals ;-) I was scared to put Carson in a toddler bed because that meant he could get out and he slept on the floor for the first week but eventually got the hang of it. I'm glad Martin really likes it though and is doing well with the change.
