I am soooooo far behind in posting that Finley is almost 4 months old.  I am to try to post something everyday until I catch up. The likely hood of me actually getting to do that is slim, but I am going to make it one of my goals so I don't forget anything! 

Starting with Finley passing the 3 mark....he was 3 months old on October 17th.  He actually had an exciting 3 month celebration because my parents and I took him to Texas for my grandfathers 89th birthday.  We left on Thursday and stayed until Sunday.  It was fantastic to see all of my Texas family.  Finley did amazing traveling, especially because we had a ton of issues trying to get there AND he got his first ear infection the Tuesday before we left.  The ped decided to give him the rocefin shot of antibiotics which is the equivalent to 3 days worth and it always helps.  Then he was to take an oral medicine everyday for 10 days thereafter.  His ears did not seem to bother him much, it was his lack of sleeping that was tough.  He seemed to be feeling ok, but when Monday rolled around, he did not seem to feel very good, so off to the pediatrician again.  The doctor was not happy with his ears again, so another round of antibiotic shots and we were off.  After about a week and a half, we were back again with a double ear infection and then last Tuesday we went back for a recheck.  We were told if his ears still had puss in them, we would be going to the ent.....low and behold we were at the ent the next morning at 9:30.  The  ENT looked in this ears, took him back and put tubes in them.  Since the tubes last Wednesday he is a whole new baby!  When he turned 3 months, Finley really started noticing the world around him.  He started swatting at things, smiling more and recognizing faces.  Last Thursday he started to talk....and now it it nonstop talking.  He is laughing, talking and seeming to enjoy life a little more.  I am going to give credit to the tubes for that! 

On a frustrating note, he is NOT sleeping through the night AT ALL.  He barely makes it 3 hours and is sometimes not even interested in eating when he does get up.  I have heard that momsoncall.com is a great source seeing as I have tried Baby Wise and The Baby Whisperer and have not seen good results.  Anyone have any advice?  Other that the sleeping factor, Finley is a sweet little guy who has really just come to life!  Here is his 3 month photo shoot......
