First ear infection

Macie and Carson have both had a little cough and a slight runny nose for a couple weeks. Since it is ragwood season, I have not been too worried. I finally took Macie to the doctor today because she started pulling on her ear. I still wasn't sure it wasn't her teeth bothering her. It looks like she is working on several right now. But, her right ear does have some fluid. Dr. Ani didn't think it looked too bad until she looked at the left ear. So, Macie will start her first antibiotic this afternoon. We go back the 22nd for her 9 month check up so we will see how it looks, get a flu shot, and check to make sure all is going well in her growth.
Now for a completely different subject. One of the first years we lived in our house, we planted some lantana in our front yard. They were really big when we pulled them up and the roots were are tall as I am. One of the plants was on the other side of the drive way from all the others. We just left it in the ground and when it died cut it back to the ground. It has come back year after year. It is gigantic. Jeff would not be able to park in the garage because it is growing into the driveway. I thought I would post a picture of it and one of the ones we planted this year-a much more respectable sized plant!

A normal plant!
