Happy New Year!

It's been a busy couple days! Jericho had an ear infection then as soon as the medicine was done he got really fussy. I took him to the clinic thinking he possibly had another ear infection. He was just so mad when he cried that we figured he was in pain. It was Dec. 27 and the clinic was sooo busy. The doctor checked him out and then called the pediatrician on call. We had to take J to the hospital to see her. It was a little stressful because my mind just raced with what could be wrong with him. We were at the hospital in emergency taking urine samples and blood tests and they sent us home. She said it may have been the ear infection medicine reacting with his little tummy, or he may be starting to get colic - but he has calmed down since. So all in all, a scary experience, but he's all good.

We had a great time on a quick trip up to Kamloops with my family. We left Thursday morning early and were up on Sun Peaks by 1 pm. Nate went with my siblings and Dad snowmobiling while Mom and I hung out at the 'chalet'. It was more like a cabin really. Then we went for dinner together and played games into the night - Ok, we went to bed at like 10. Jericho was so bad. He was up crying and hungry and just didn't like his brand new playpen. And we weren't really digging the air mattress. We got up early the next day and headed to Tankwa Lake for more snowmobiling. My dad and brother had each purchased one and they also rented one. We met my Uncle Frank and cousin Tylar up there. The guys had a lot of fun and Jericho even went with Daddy for a very short, very slow ride. We left and headed straight home as Nate didn't want to drive the #5 in the dark and he had to work Sunday. It was a short trip and we didn't really do much, but it was the first time baby had a bottle! My mom offered to buy us a breast pump and it was so awesome to be able to feed him in the car on the way up without having to stop the whole caravan. Jericho took to it within seconds.

Last night we went to D & R's and it was great. We played Disney's Scene It with the kids, poker with the adults (Nate & I cleaned house!), and watched the NYC ball drop. Here's some pictures of J having fun too.
