Earfec

Steph caught a cold just before we went to Lake Tahoe, and by the time we were coming home Evan had caught it too. On top of that, he picked this week to contract his first ear infection (his pediatrician was very impressed that he'd made it almost through his first year without one), which we would call an earfec in my family. Evan handles being sick fairly well -- he's not that much fussier than normal, and his appetite remains somewhere between ravenous and voracious -- but his sleep routine gets thrown all out of whack. This leads to a very tired baby who falls asleep in unusual situations:

You'd expect the Jumparoo to be an exciting toy that would stimulate a child, or at least keep him awake. Normally that's the case, but when I say Evan has been tired, I mean he has really been tired:

If food can't keep Evan awake a Jumparoo stands pretty much zero chance.
