Last night was rough and a little scary. The teething strips seemed to help Cooper sleep a little more soundly, but he woke up again around 2 am really fussy, and really HOT. I immediately new we needed to check his temperature. It was 103.5°!!!
We called the doctor to see if we needed to go to the ER, but they said to give him more Tylenol and see if it goes down. We were nervous with that answer, but did as we were told. Well, sort of...we gave him medicine, took off his sleep sack to let his body cool down a bit, gave him some milk and we all zonked back out. So much for monitoring him! I got up at 5:30 for work and he was still a little warm, but much better than at 2 am.
Chris took his temperature this morning and it was still at 101.5° after giving him medicine. He called the doctor and she said to give him Motrin every 6 hours and Tylenol every 4 hours, make sure he continues to eat, and let him sleep as much as much as he wants. Thankfully the fever broke! He now has two teeth on the bottom and one poking through on the top, plus his other top one is almost through. It will be so great to get passed this and be able to sleep a full night!
We've had to start brushing Charlotte's hair after bath time. We used to just leave it be or sort of finger style it, but if we don't this is how she looks the next day:
And guess who figured how to get ALL the way through the doggy door, plus bring her toys and the remote control with her?
Cooper is learning how to use the sippy cup...
Full on attack...he thinks it's a boob...
And this is the face he makes when he actually gets some juice!
A fascination with bowls...
