Snowpocalypse 2010

Well, we are alive.  I spent about a total of 4 hours in the driveway on 3 separate occasions.  My little snowblower (bought at a garage sale for $50 made it through it)  I am having a serious case of man toy envy though as I watch all of the other guys in our neighborhood with their bigger, stronger snowblowers.  It beats shoveling though.  Steph said she felt bad for me.  Asked if I felt bad that she has to do all of the inside work, I said "no."  Early on in the relationship, I told her that she had all of the inside work and I had all of the outside work.  That was a much easier proposition for me when we lived in the townhome, however.  I don't mind though- it let's me play my "man card."

My friend Adam came over today and took family/baby pictures.  Jordan was not his normal smily self though, but I think we got some good pictures.  It's the first time that Steph, Jordan, and I are in the same picture.  I would have thought that I would have taken more pictures than I have.  It's on my long term wish list to get a better camera.  After borrowing Adam's camera after Jordan was born, I got a little spoiled by its picture quality.  I am also need to get new rechargeable batteries.  Seems a little funny to me that you even need to replace rechargeable batteries.  I thought that was the whole point of getting rechargeable batteries.

I took Jordan into the doctor last week.  He had been just a bit fussy, but he had a stretch of diarrhea, and lost a little bit of his appetite.  Steph saw him pulling on his ears and thought that he was starting to teethe.  (While early, not out of the realm of possibility.)  After noticing a very large amount of ear wax, especially in his ear canal it almost looked like he had a hearing aid in), I did a Google search.  A lot of his symptoms also pointed to a possible ear infection.  The nurse thought he was fine though.   No ear infection.  And no signs of teething.  She did mention that Asians tend to have more ear wax and that it has a grainer consistency.  Steph didn't believe me.

Every day is still an amazing discovery with Jordan.   He is starting to respond to all sorts of new ways to get him to smile and laugh.  Steph has hers that work and I have mine that work.  Even when Jordan is in a funk or crabby or fussy, he will break out a quick smile or grin.
