Celebrating Grandmother

My Grandmother turned 95 this Sunday. The whole Tilton clan was in Angleton to celebrate with her this weekend. We had a surprise come and go party for her at my parent's house where other extended family members and various friends and neighbors could stop by and visit with her. It was really cool to see all the people that came out to see her and to know all the lives she's touched in her 95 years of life. We're just so blessed to have had her with us for this long and it brings me so much joy to know that she's been able to know her great grandson.

A few updates on Noah: The little stinker is so close to being able to walk but he just won't do it yet. He cruises around hanging on to anything and everything like crazy. He'll let go and stand independently for several seconds but then when he wants to move he drops down to crawl. We were hoping he'd perform for the family and start walking in honor of Grandmother's birthday this weekend, but no such luck. He did have fun chasing Kristi and Casey's dogs around again though.

He had a great time in Angelton and even did well in the car both there and back. When we got back to Austin late Saturday night we got him out of the car seat and he felt warm. Sure enough he had a 101 fever. Must be the ears again. Grrr. Then the poor baby woke up with a 103.5 fever Sunday morning. He was just miserable!! Thankfully we had a "just in case" prescription for more antibiotics from the ENT last week which we were able to fill. Now, if there was any doubt in our minds that it's time to do something to help his ears, that doubt is gone. Hey doc, can you put his tubes in tomorrow??
