Sick as a dog...Maybe??

Lucas has been "sick" all week. It started with a cough at 4 am that sounded like a dog barking...Josh immediately went into doctor mode and decided he had croup. So we trudged on over to the pediatrician the next day and discovered it was croup and there wasn't really anything they could do for it--he wasn't running a fever, he was eating fine and overall he seemed like a perfectly happy little baby. But over the next few days he steadily got worse, so today we went back to the doctor and discovered he now has an ear infection due to the croup. This makes the second ear infection in as many months, so I am a little concerned that we are starting a theme here...But overall until today he seemed like a very happy baby. Here he is "sharing" his toy with daddy. He is so active now that we get very little rest since we are always chasing after him. We bought him a walking toy and he walks all over the house--clinging to it constantly. Every now and then he will let go of it and hold himself steady for several seconds, but no steps on his own yet.
