Ear infection and a shot! Oh, No!

Yesterday, Cameron had his two month check up (at 10 weeks old). He weighed 13 pounds, 12 ounces (up from his birth weight at 8 pounds, 2.3 ounces) and he is 24 inches long (up from 20 inches at birth). So the doctor was quite pleased. He is in the 75th-90th percentile. The doctor was doing his exam, and checking his eyes, ears, nose and throat. When he looked in his left ear, he asked if Cameron had been fussy, and we told him that he had been a little bit fussy the past couple of nights. He told us that he had an ear infection in his left ear! :( I have had horrible ear infections my whole life (including one on our honeymoon), and I was happy to hear that breastfeeding reduces the chance of ear infections. Unfortunately, my little guy got one anyway. He had to get his first shot, and he cried a little at first, but was fine after a couple of minutes. We were really proud of him for being such a tough guy.

Today is Jeff's birthday, so I have to go help Cameron wrap daddy's present. Talk to you all later!
