Big news from last week was Luke turning 1. Though he seems pretty hefty to me, he is in the low percentile for both height and weight (21.2lbs and 29".) He's developing right on target though, so no worries here. 
In 'honor' of his birthday, he decided to walk almost exclusively. He still teeter totters some, but he is getting more steady everyday. I bought his first pair of shoes this week (5.5XW) and he is still getting used to walking with them.
Unfortunately, we slowed down our busy schedule with trips to the dentist and doctor's offices. We made 5 trips to the MDs officies last week. One day was spent at the dentist to check on Jacob's now gray front tooth. Luckily, she said that is most cases the normal color returns after 6 weeks. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
The following day was Luke's well-check appointment which turned into a sick visit for both boys (Luke had an eye infection and Jacob's ear infections were still not healed) as well as the well check for Luke. Add a visit to an external lab for bloodwork and the pharmacy for a prescription and we had a long morning.
Because 3 rounds of antibiotics couldn't knock out Jacob's ear infections, we decided to treat them with 3 consecutive days of an antibiotic shot. He was less than thrilled, you can imagine. But, it seemed to work as his ears are finally better (for now.)
And as I write this today, the cold bug has bit the boys and I. It hasn't been horrible, but having all 3 of us sick hasn't been fun. The worst part, Luke is no longer sleeping through the night as he was before illness struck. He was sleeping until 5:30am very consistently without eating, so hopefully we'll be back to that soon.
Here are more pictures from the week (very Luke intensive because Jacob has decided he really doesn't like to have his picture taken and often times runs or turns away.)
