Today the sitter called, she was worried because Ajax was running a fever of 101.9! We went ahead and called the Doctor for an appointment, luckily we were able to combine his 9 months well-being appointment which was scheduled for Monday.
First on stats – Ajax weighs 20 lb, 12 oz – which puts him in the 75th percentile for weight, and he was 30 inches long, putting him in the 95th percentile for length. The Doctor said that Ajax was developing well, hitting all his milestones – crawling, pulling himself up, eating finger foods, and talking/babbling (I told the Doctor that Ajax can say “dog” and can correctly identify a dog… I don’t think he believed me, but Ajax chases my Aunt’s dog, Scarlet, all over the house saying, DOG DOG (or dyag dyag), so there you go).
Now onto the fever, Ajax has another ear infection! The Doctor wasn’t sure if this was the same infection from Christmas/New Years or if this was a new one. The Doctor said that Ajax has two things working against him- the shape of his ear canal and genetics (Dave was prone to them as a child). He has an appointment again in two weeks to take a look at his ear again, so we shall see!
